Deity Components Slimfit

The 31mm diameter is considered a slim profile, which is significantly thinner than the standard 32mm to 34mm grips found on most stock mountain bikes. This smaller diameter is designed to offer a more direct, precise feel of the handlebars, making it ideal for riders who prefer tactile feedback over cushioning.

While the Kevlar infusion is primarily for durability, the TRC+ rubber compound remains pliable enough to absorb trail chatter. However, because these are slim grips, you will feel more of the trail than you would with thicker, foam-based options, so they are best suited for riders who prioritize control and handling over maximum vibration damping.

Yes, the micro diamond pattern is specifically engineered to provide consistent traction across the entire surface area. It creates a reliable mechanical lock for your gloves, which helps maintain grip even when the conditions get wet or muddy.

These grips are generally preferred by riders who want a minimalist interface, regardless of hand size. If you have larger hands and struggle with hand fatigue or cramping, you might find a thicker grip more ergonomic, but if you prefer a 'connected' feel to the cockpit, the Slimfit will perform well regardless of your hand size.

The Slimfit grips are standard mountain bike grips and will fit any standard 22.2mm handlebar diameter. As with most high-performance grips, ensure your handlebar ends are clean and free of debris before installation to ensure the lock-on mechanism secures properly.
