Both are grammatically correct, depending on how you prefer your sentence to read. Most two syllable adjectives form two forms of the comparative and superlative. "Narrower" is the germanic-rooted comparative form of the adjective "narrow," while "more narrow" is the French-influenced version. "Narrowest" and "most narrow" are both acceptable superlatives.

A few other words that are correct both ways are handsome, clever, and simpler. Some say that "commoner" is an acceptable comparative adjective, but "more common" has become much more, well, common. Prefered forms (like much of English) makes a slow and steady tectonic shift as certain usages fall out of practice.
