Introduction
Video
Crafted for riders who demand precision and durability, the Peaty’s Monarch Lock-On Grips (Knurl version) offer a firmer, more direct bar feel for ultimate control on rugged trails and technical terrain. Born from years of hands-on riding and relentless prototyping, these grips combine performance-focused knurl texture with eco-conscious engineering.
Engineered for those who like their grips a little more aggressive, the knurled surface provides excellent traction in all weather conditions, making it ideal for high-speed descents, enduro races, or long days on the mountain. Whether you're attacking rock gardens or flowing through singletrack, the Monarch Knurl grip locks you in without compromise.
Backed by Peaty’s commitment to sustainability, every grip is made with 80% recycled ocean plastic cores and comes in plastic-free packaging.
Take your grip game up a notch—choose the Monarch Knurl for firm, responsive control and unmatched confidence on the bars.
KNURL TEXTURE
Built for riders who prioritize precision and control, the Monarch Knurl grips feature a classic diamond knurl pattern—trusted for over a century in tools and machinery where grip is non-negotiable. This aggressive texture provides a sharp, tactile surface that locks your fingers in place, even through sweat, mud, or rain.
Unlike softer mushroom-style grips, the knurled pattern delivers a firmer, more responsive feel—ideal for riders who want direct bar feedback and enhanced bike handling. The low-profile diamonds create consistent traction across your hand, giving racers and aggressive trail riders the grip confidence they need to push harder and ride longer.
If you're chasing speed, sharp handling, and no-slip control, the Knurl texture is your ultimate trail companion.
Grip Size Guide: Thick vs Thin – What’s Right for You?
Hands come in all shapes and sizes—and your grips should too. Peaty’s Monarch Knurl Grips are available in two thoughtfully designed sizes to give every rider the right fit, no matter your hand size or riding style.
- 30mm inner / 32mm outer diameter
- 32mm inner / 34mm outer diameter
The thin version offers a more direct bar feel—ideal for riders who like a closer connection to their cockpit. The thicker option adds an extra layer of rubber, delivering better vibration damping and all-day comfort, especially on rough trails or long descents.
Whether you want precision or plushness, there’s a Monarch Knurl grip made just for you.
Comfort Thumb Pad – Enhanced Support Where It Matters Most
Your thumb does more work than you think—especially when it’s bracing against roots, rocks, and ruts. That’s why the Monarch Knurl Grip features a strategically extended thumb pad to protect pressure zones around your knuckle and metacarpal.
Unlike traditional mushroom-style textures, the Knurl’s zigzag fin design resists lateral collapse during sharp corners, delivering firm, controlled support. Each ridge is precisely shaped to enhance shock absorption and prevent blisters from forming over long, punishing rides.
Engineered for durability, comfort, and race-ready performance—right where your hand needs it most.
High Grip Finger Bars – Precision Meets Control
Dialed in for confident handling, the Monarch Knurl’s finger bars are deeply carved into the grip rubber to deliver maximum traction without distraction. Each bar is segmented into floating blocks, letting them flex independently to match your finger placement and pressure.
Their placement isn’t random—every bar is spaced for real-world ergonomics and paired with an offset core to reduce rubber bulk underneath. The result? Sharper bar feel, stronger pulls, and precision control exactly when you need it.
Tapered Shape & Offset Core – Built for All-Day Ride Comfort
The Monarch Knurl grip features a subtle taper—thinner at the inner edge for better bar feel, and thicker toward the outside for added cushioning where your palm needs it most. This shape supports a more ergonomic hand position and helps reduce pressure points over long rides.
Paired with an offset core, the grip increases rubber depth on the topside for maximum comfort, while keeping the underside lean and responsive for high-feedback control. A slimmer 8mm clamp and tapered internal core give a rock-solid lock onto the bar—no slipping, no wasted space, just pure control.
Offset Core – Engineered for Control Without Compromise
The Monarch Knurl grip uses an offset core that’s shifted downward within the rubber, creating a thicker cushion on the topside for plush comfort and impact absorption, while keeping the underside lean for direct, high-precision control.
Working in tandem with the tapered grip shape and deep-cut finger bars, this offset design ensures your hands stay comfortable during long descents—without sacrificing that locked-in bar feel when you’re pulling hard or threading tech lines. It’s a race-ready blend of cushioning and control, right where you need it.
Half Flange & Pinky Ramp – Subtle Features, Serious Control
Designed for total control, the Monarch Knurl grips feature a smartly integrated half flange and pinky ramp. The half flange acts as a low-profile internal stop, preventing hand drift and shielding the clamp bolt for seamless thumb shifting—no hard edges, just clean contact.
At the outer end, the pinky ramp delivers subtle tactile feedback, letting you know you’re right on the edge without ever looking. Whether you're railing corners or bouncing through roots, these details keep your hands right where they need to be—for confident, no-slip performance on any terrain.
20A Compound – The Perfect Balance of Grip and Durability
The Monarch Knurl grips feature a finely tuned 20A rubber compound—a sweet spot between softness and durability. On the durometer scale, grip compounds typically range from 30A (harder) to 15A (softer). Sitting right in the middle, 20A offers the best of both worlds.
It’s soft and tacky enough to give you unbeatable traction and ride feel, yet firm enough to stand up to long hours of aggressive riding. Whether you're hammering through enduro stages or shredding flow trails, this compound keeps you connected without wearing out too fast.
Sustainability – Eco-Friendly Materials and Packaging
From core to packaging, the Monarch Knurl grips are built with the planet in mind. Each grip core is made from 80% recycled ocean plastics, reducing waste and supporting cleaner oceans without compromising on performance.
The eco-conscious approach continues with minimal-impact packaging—a fully cardboard backing board and paper pulp plugs replace the single-use plastics commonly seen elsewhere. (Okay, we’ll admit, the metal rivets stuck around!)
Peaty’s commitment to sustainability means you can ride hard while treading lightly.

- Slide the grips onto the bar, ensuring they are fitted to the correct side. The ‘L’ and ‘R’ markings on the lockrings indicate the left and right grips, which should be fitted accordingly.
- Ensure the crown logo on the grip end is facing upwards. This aligns the finger bars and thumb pad to their optimal position. You can adjust slightly forward or backward based on your riding position and preference.
- Tap the grip fully onto the bar to ensure the bar is securely inserted into the tapered core. A firm whack with the palm of your hand will suffice—no need for a hammer!
- Tighten the 3mm Allen key on the lockring to 3Nm.
- Ride!

Comfortable fit ..secure & tight without hesitation ..good even for walking or pushing the bike soft yet firm enough coverage especially going for race
I always run KMC chains as I love the quality and rust-free durability, and gold always looks great. This one works superbly on my Brompton. Ordering was easy and shipping to UK surprisingly quick. Thanks guys!
A replacement for my 4 yr old BB. Price is reasonable and excellent service.
Some of the cheaper ones snapped when the tyres are too tight. This brand and size will not even after using few years. Service is also excellent here.
Recently came into the shop to purchase this stem. Was approached by a friendly guy and he assisted me with finding the product i needed. Didn’t managed to get his name as i was in a rush but overall experience was really good. Thanks!
The thick size grip makes a difference for people with larger hands which in my case allow me to have more control.
Excellent job by Mr Ho, one of the most experienced mechanic I've ever come across. Detailed explanation of what was done and with the corresponding pictures of the process too!
