The Peaty's Monarch Pro Grip in Knurl takes the award-winning Monarch design and pushes it further with a dual-compound construction that puts the right material exactly where it needs to be. The upper surface and ZigZag thumb pad are moulded from an ultra-soft 15a durometer rubber for maximum grip and vibration damping, while the finger bars and bar ends use a firmer 30a Duralite compound for long-lasting durability and a positive, direct feel when pulling on the bars. A new precision cut-away channel in the core maximises the depth of soft rubber under your palm all the way down to the bar, reducing hand fatigue on long and demanding rides. The knurl texture is the choice for riders who want aggressive feel and precise control. Available in thick (32-34mm) and thin (30-32mm) diameters, in six colours with colour-matched lockrings.

Our thoughts:
The knurl texture on the Monarch Pro delivers exactly what it promises, aggressive, confident grip that doesn't let go on steep, technical descents. The dual-compound design is a genuine upgrade over single-compound grips: the soft upper surface absorbs trail chatter where you need it most, while the firmer finger bars give you real purchase when pulling through corners or absorbing big hits.
