Peaty's Monarch Pro Mushroom Grips

The Peaty's Monarch Pro Grip in Mushroom builds on the award-winning Monarch design 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, cutting hand fatigue on long and demanding rides. The mushroom texture is the comfort-first choice, with evenly spaced fins that compress under the hand and flex into the gaps beside them, absorbing impacts from rock gardens, flat landings, and anything else the trail throws at you. Available in thick (32-34mm) and thin (30-32mm) diameters across six colours, with colour-matched lockrings included. ________ Features: Dual-compound construction: 15a soft rubber upper surface and ZigZag thumb pad, 30a Duralite compound finger bars and bar ends for durability and positive bar feel New precision impact-dampening cut-away core channel, maximising soft rubber depth under the palm for improved comfort and reduced hand fatigue Mushroom texture: evenly spaced compliant fins absorb impacts and reduce hand fatigue, ideal for trail comfort and big hit absorption Tapered grip diameter (thicker at the outside) supports the palm and reduces pressure on long rides Offset core puts more rubber on the top surface (comfort) and less on the underside (feel) Half flange provides bump stop for hands and covers clamp bolt during thumb shifting Pinky ramp gives tactile reassurance at the bar end on rough terrain Slim 8mm locking clamp with 3mm Allen bolt maximises grippable area at 130mm Tapered internal core aids grip installation and prevents grip slip Core made from 80% recycled ocean plastics Eco-friendly packaging: recyclable cardboard, moulded paper pulp plugs, vegetable-based ink Colour-matched lockrings included ________ Specifications: Texture: Mushroom Grip Area: 130mm Clamp: 8mm slim lockring, 3mm Allen bolt (torque: 3Nm) Diameter (Thick): 32mm inner / 34mm outer Diameter (Thin): 30mm inner / 32mm outer Upper Compound: 15a Durometer soft rubber Lower/Bar End Compound: 30a Duralite Core Material: 80% recycled ocean plastic Colours: Black, Brick Red, Mint Green, Plum Purple, Sage, Storm Blue Colour-Matched Lockrings: Included ________ Our thoughts: The mushroom texture on the Monarch Pro is the right call for anyone who spends long days in the saddle, shuttles rowdy terrain, or just wants their hands to feel fresh at the end of a ride rather than thrashed. The compliance of the fins does a real job of taking the edge off repeated impacts, and the dual-compound setup means you still get solid purchase when you need it through the finger bars. Compared to the standard Monarch, the cut-away core is a noticeable step up in comfort. If you prioritise comfort and fatigue reduction over maximum feedback, this is the one to go for.
