The original. Just better. We took everything we learned from making and riding the original Deathgrip and created the Deathgrip2. Having spent years refining grip design with Brendan Fairclough, Olly Wilkins and the DMR Team, along with riders from around the world at all levels, DMR knew they were on to a winning formula. We kept the features that riders know and love, and added some fundamental improvements along the way.
The DMR Deathgrip2 features the grip pattern and layout that inspired a whole generation of mountain bike grips it starts with a soft mushroom section for comfort in the thumb and forefinger area, preventing blisters in a soft-tissue zone. Next, the grip pattern features diamond knurl for grip in all conditions and all terrains and the waffle layout underside holds your fingers in the perfect position for grip and control. A tapered core means the Deathgrip is firmly mounted onto your handlebars with ease and the use of just one lockring keeps things simple and tight. The krayton rubber grip compounds we use are soft and comfortable, yet durable and lightweight. Select thin or thick diameters, and with or without flanges the choice is yours.
DMR took these winning features of the Deathgrip, and then added:
An exposed core end for added durability for when the going gets rough.
A new injection-molded DMR end cap for added branding and colour coordination.
The DMR collar lockring is now slimmer, more refined, and more integrated with the grip outer.
The flanges are now slimmer with a new relief design and fresh DMR logo.
Millimetre-perfect positioning of mushroom, waffle, and knurl for the ultimate grip pattern.
Deathgrip2s are designed for optimal grip, comfort and control whether you ride with or without gloves. They're the perfect choice for every rider for weekend thrashers, dedicated freeriders, or whether you race Hardlines, World Cups, or ride Rampages. Deathgrip2s are the grip of choice for everyone.
Once you've ridden Deathgrip2s, you won't go back. Ride the best, forget the rest.

Second pair I’ve bought, bling at its best
I have used Sprocket & Gear a number of times and always found the site really easy to use with no dead-ends or going round in circles which is common. Most recently I called the office to check on something. The phone was answered quickly and the call handler listened and provided a quick solution which, resulted in in me places another order. All around very good service.
Service was spot.
I had been finding it a challenge to find the Chain Ring I needed, but Sprocket and Gear came up with the goods.
Will definitely use them again.
Fixed quickly, efficiently & cheaply. Great service

Had some MK1 G forms when they first came to market and they were so comfortable however in big sliding type crashes they’d move and coverage used to be minimal. I’d been using POC air just knee pads for ages however with the advent of tapered trousers and an arthritic knee or two any compression around my knee was making it very uncomfortable to consider wearing anything. Roll on last ride out, two small slow speed dismounts ie crashes rendered my shins in tatters from the Time Speciale 8 pedals and pins and I landed on the one that found me fully on the floor on my arthritic knee to stones…..at which point I thought phew escaped that with no broken knee just bruising and much shin rubbing during the rest of the riding and cursing as I could feel the blood flowing and swelling.
Anyhow with discount code and on sale these were the best long coverage when I’d decided they were something I will wear under tapered trousers on every ride in real MTB terrain. Measured myself and compared it to the manufacturers sizing and I have to say it’s absolutely spot on for size!
It was a minor mission to get them over my size 12 feet and they pull up really high which with the strap I’m confident there will be no movement or migration of the pads in even a huge sliding dismount. The compression level was spot on with no feeling of my kneecap being pressed. The only down side I can foresee is they’re going to run pretty hot however they give really good shin coverage down to 6” sock level so I could probably get away with wearing shorts with them. (Have thinning sun damaged skin on lower legs and previous skin lesion elsewhere so have to cover up plus factor 50)……wear your sunscreen guys and gals!
I haven’t worn them in anger yet but I’m confident days of shredded shins and being overly concerned about a broken knee or two are gone for now. They’re rated for Enduro but not DH to be honest I’ll be wearing them for uplift days probably after starting out in hard shell race face last time on an uplift and second run switching to just the POC knees only. 59 not out…..yet!
Give the gift of cycling with these great gifts and gadgets!
