The low drag, compact profile maintains the same width, front-strap + back-strap geometry, and forward anti slip ledge of the original ULCG, but now features increased surface area and an optimized contact patch for the lower rear of your palm, increasing leverage and improving long term operating comfort.
The geometry change on the bottom also allowed for a fresh take on our integrated storage system. The included floorplate is now far easier to utilize, especially with gloves, all without sacrificing any security.
The final external optimizations come by way of the two texture options, originally designed for our Shadow Crossover Grip:
Apex texture – minimally abrasive, Apex was designed for those who like hockey tape wraps or similarly smooth but still tactile finishes
Atom (dot) texture – more bite, more traction, perfect for gloved hands or more demanding conditions (humidity, sweat, mud, etc.)
Internal improvements include an updated mounting interface for broader platform compatibility and reinforced walls to increase rigidity and durability through impact, with consideration of the new profile and accompanying likely impact points.
Through all of these changes, the weight is closer to our standard grips, sitting at 2.05 oz with hardware (less than 10% increase in weight over the first generation).
