The Rat's Perfect Grip

Rat’s style is loose and flowy, but he needed a dependable grip that he could fit and forget. Engineering brains and bro science split the atom to create our new hybrid core. This gave all the push on ‘feels’ but with the rock-solid dependability of a traditional lock on. A huge tapered cut away window on top of the grip, under your 3 outside knuckles, removes the plastic core that can be harsh, and adds rubber all the way to the bar.

“Close your eyes, grab a handful and you’d swear blind it’s push on” – Josh Bryceland.

We tested various patterns, but we kept coming back to horizontal lines for the soft and consistent feel they give to the palm. Underneath is an alternate half height part of the pattern. This small but critical section covers the area where all the extra pop comes from. A low-profile flange is designed to stay out of the way of your levers and be a good point of reference if you need it.
