As the name implies, the Ergon GE1 EVO Slim Lock On Grips are the evolution of the original GE1 Slim grips. The EVO takes things even further by increasing the grip available and reducing the amount of strength required to hold onto the bars, reducing the risks of arm pump or numbness in the hands. Ergon has achieved this by adjusting the texture of the grip against the direction of hand rotation so your hands will almost feel like they are screwing onto the grip. The grip surface extends all the way to the outer edge, eliminating any discomfort or hot spots that outer clamps can cause and the grip surface is aligned at 8° to the handlebar axis and against the backsweep. This naturally puts the rider into an elbows out position which maximises stability and control. The thumb area is optimized to maximise comfort and the inner core is tuned with varying wall thicknesses to provide more rubber where the most damping is required. 

Who's this item for: This grip is designed for Enduro riders and racers who are looking for more comfort, grip and a precise grip. The slim diameter of this version is perfect for people with smaller hands or those that just prefer a slimmer grip.

Mounting style: These are a slip-on grip with a single inner clamp so you can run your hands right out on the end of the bars without the discomfort that outer clamps can cause.

Material: The standard versions feature a dual-density rubber compound which offers an excellent compromise between grip, comfort, and durability. The Factory versions use a specially developed soft rubber compound with excellent grip and slow rebound characteristics.

Pattern: A directional grip texture that is opposite to the direction of hand rotation so your hands effectively screw onto the grip while you're riding.

Features: Ergonomic design that has been developed with feedback from riders on the Enduro World Series circuit to maximise comfort and control and reduce the amount of strength required to hang onto the bars.

Soft / firm: These are a soft grip.

End caps: The grip surface extends all the way to the outer edge of the grips with a fully integrated grip end connected to the inner core. There are no end caps.

Diameter: These are the slim version and have a 30mm diameter

Weight: 95g

Pros: Optimised to provide maximum comfort, control, and reduce arm pump. Slim diameter is perfect for people with smaller hands or those that just prefer a slimmer grip.

Cons: As these are an ergonomic grip you will probably need to do a bit of tweaking to ensure that your hands are in the right position in relation to your brake lever and shifter. Slim diameter may not suit people with larger hands.
