Peaty's Monarch Grips - Lockrings
PRODUCT INFORMATION
MONARCH GRIPS - TAPERED CORE
The core of our grip has been custom-made to take a thinner 8mm clamp rather than the more usual 11mm clamp. This is only a 3mm difference, but every little bit helps to maximize the grippable area (130mm) and minimize the overall width of the grip body on your bars.
To enable us to use this thinner clamp, we’ve also tapered the internal diameter of the core so the bar-end of the core is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bar. This means the grip bites onto the end of the bar and assists the clamp in preventing grip slip.

PEATY'S MONARCH GRIPS - MUSHROOM
The mushroom texture gets its title by looking like the classic fins on the underside of a mushroom. Used for decades on BMX grips for its ability to absorb impacts, each fin of a mushroom texture is evenly spaced with a gap the same width as the fin. This is important so that the fin can be compressed by the hand and flex into the space next to it. This provides a much more comfortable, compliant, shock-absorbing texture compared to a knurl texture.
The user of this grip could be anyone from a trail cruiser looking for maximum comfort to big hitters looking to take the sting out of hideous rock gardens and flat landings.
PEATY'S MONARCH GRIPS - KNURL
This firm classic has been used as a grip texture on tool handles for well over 100 years, and for good reason—a knurl provides an excellent, consistent, and aggressive grip. Each ‘knurl’ is a diamond shape creating a sharp point. It’s this sharp point that provides the grip, yet its shallow profile provides a sturdy base, creating very positive feedback and increased control compared to a mushroom texture.
The user of this grip would more likely be a racer who prefers this texture for its increased aggressive feel and precision control.
PEATY'S MONARCH GRIPS - KNURL
People come in all shapes and sizes—and so do their hands—so having a one-size-fits-all approach to grip diameter is almost as crazy as offering a one-size-fits-all glove.
Our thin grip has a 30mm diameter on the inside and 32mm on the outside, while the thick grip has a 32mm diameter on the inside and 34mm on the outside.
This not only makes the thick grip an ideal diameter for people with larger hands but also provides an extra 2mm of impact-damping rubber compared to the thin grip.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Loosen the 3mm Allen key on the lockring.
- Remove your Monarch grips from your bars and pull off the old lockrings.
- Re-fit new clamps, ensuring the correct side is fitted to the correct grip using the L & R markings engraved above the Allen key.
- When fitted correctly, the flat edge of the lockring should touch the rubber of the grip and the Allen key should face the rider.
- Re-fit grips, following our grip application steps. Tighten the 3mm Allen key bolt on the lockring to 3Nm.
- Ride!

FAQS
DO THESE LOCKRINGS WORK ON OTHER GRIPS?
Whilst these clamps might fit other grips, they're designed to be used with our Peaty's Monarch Grips only.
The slimline 8mm clamp works perfectly with the Monarch tapered core to help prevent grip slip.
We do not recommend using these clamps with other grips.
DO I NEED TO HAMMER ON THE GRIPS?
The core of our grip has been custom-made to take a thinner 8mm clamp rather than the more usual 11mm clamp. This is only a 3mm difference, but every little bit helps to maximize the grippable area (130mm) and minimize the overall width of the grip body on your bars.
To enable us to use this thinner clamp, we’ve also tapered the internal diameter of the core so the bar-end of the core is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bar. This means the grip bites onto the end of the bar and assists the clamp in preventing grip slip.
This does mean you will need to tap the grip fully onto the bar during installation, but it really is a tap with the palm of your hand—no need for a hammer!
WHAT TORQUE DO I NEED TO TIGHTEN THE BOLTS TO?
Tighten the 3mm Allen key bolt on the lockring to 3Nm.
