Josh gave our engineering team a simple brief - 1) Make a lock on grip that feels like a push on, and 2) Create a pattern that’s so soft you can shred day after day without getting sore hands.
Rat's style is loose and flowy, but he needed a dependable grip that he could fit and forget. The mission was to get the soft touch of a push on with none of the wire, glue, 'throttle grip' or hassle. 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. The extra rubber gives you all the tragic industry buzzwords in one place; damped, fatigue reducing, compliant. The truth is, this section just gives hella comfort and makes those calluses a little less tender after a big day of swingin' off it. So you're all set to do the same again tomorrow, and the next day…
“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.

The Josh Bryceland Signature Grip is perfect for those who prefer a softer feel with bags of omnidirectional traction. Wet or dry. Gloves or no gloves. However you like it.
Sore hands become a thing of the past, to keep you shredding until the lift shuts or the sun goes down.
