Overview
The Bear KompleX No Hole Pinnacle Speed Grips are part of an advanced line of synthetic gymnastics grips designed for maximum versatility and quick transitions. Made from a durable 2.3mm single-layer microfiber, these grips provide a "tacky" feel that adheres to both slick steel and powder-coated bars, often without the need for chalk. The "no hole" design is specifically engineered for athletes who prefer to move rapidly between gymnastics movements and barbell work, as they can be easily flipped back or kept in place for a "death grip" (thumb-over-bar) style.

Performance Benefits
Fast Transitions: Without finger holes to engage or disengage, these grips can be flipped over the back of the hand in a split second when transitioning from pull-ups to double-unders or snatches.
Full Coverage: The wide, fingerless design provides protection for the entire palm and the base of the fingers, reducing the risk of painful tears and blisters.
Chalk Optional: The Pinnacle material provides natural grip on most bars. While compatible with chalk, many athletes find they don't need it, which helps keep the air and equipment cleaner.
Breathable & Lightweight: The single-layer microfiber is less bulky than multi-layer or leather grips, allowing for better "feel" on the bar while managing moisture effectively.
Minimal Stretch: Unlike natural leather, this synthetic material maintains its length and shape over time, providing a consistent fit throughout the life of the grip.
Sizing & Fit Guide
To find your size, measure from the wrist crease (where your hand and wrist meet) to the base of your middle finger. Ensure your hand and fingers are straight and flat.
| Size | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Small | 3.75” to 4.25” |
| Medium | 4.25” to 4.75” |
| Large | 4.75” to 5.25” |
| XL | Over 5.25” |
Note: If you prefer to fold the grip over the bar for a "dowel effect," it is recommended to size up one level.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Gently hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or high-heat cycles.
Drying: Air dry only. Do not place in a machine dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can degrade the synthetic fibers and adhesive bonds.
Hygiene: Between deep cleans, wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove skin cells and any excess chalk buildup.
Inspection: Regularly check the wrist strap and buckle for wear. Ensure the microfiber surface hasn't become "glazed" or excessively smooth, which can occur over very long-term use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these better than the 3-Hole version?
A: It depends on your style. The 3-Hole Pinnacle Grips offer more horizontal stability for beginners, while the No Hole version is the standard for advanced CrossFit athletes who prioritize transition speed.
Q: Will they work on a slick, painted pull-up bar?
A: Yes. The Pinnacle microfiber is specifically formulated to provide traction on both rough, textured bars and smooth, painted ones.
Q: Do they need a "break-in" period?
A: Very minimal. The 2.3mm microfiber is soft and pliable out of the package, though they typically reach their peak "tackiness" after 1–2 workouts.
Q: Can I return them if I don't like the feel?
A: No. Like most gymnastics grips, Rogue and Bear KompleX do not allow returns once the product has been used or chalked. Ensure the fit is correct before your first workout.
