Description
The Ergon GS2 Lock On Grips With Barend were developed as a specific marathon and XC grip. The grip's unique internal construction supports the hand using two internal supports individually tuned for perfect rebound and control. The lightweight Direct Control rubber ensure ultimate feel and feedback. The compact 2 finger bar end is made out of a durable fiberglass reinforced composite, with an anti-slip rubber grip. Offering an extra hand position for increased leverage and comfort.
Who's this item for: This grip is designed for XC and Marathon riders who are looking for a comfortable grip with 2 finger bar ends.
Mounting style: These are a slip-on grip with a single outer clamp alongside the bar ends.
Material: The body is made from 100% German rubber compounds of the purest quality, for comfort and durability.
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 offer greater contact with the hand surface area, versus traditional round grips. Bard ends to offer secondary hand position for the long days in the saddle
Soft / firm: These are a semi firm ergonomic 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: Available in different sizes for best fit.
- Large XL-XXL glove size. 102mm hand circumference.
- Small XS-L glove size. 92mm hand circumference.
Weight: 222g per set
Tips: Adjusting the angle makes a huge difference. From experience, we have found that these grips work better when the 'wing' is raised up towards a level position. This will keep your wrist straight and reduce the most stress.
Pros: An endurance MTB grip that provides maximum comfort. The increased leverage that the bar ends offer. Endurance riders will benefit from these grips, especially if you suffer from carpel tunnel issues.
Cons: Ergonomic grips are not for everyone. More aggressive riders should look are traditional round grips.

Excellent grips
by Lachlan
Holy crap, these grips changed my entire riding experience. Mainly due to the shape of my hands - after a while with my old grips I realised I was curling my wrist in to suit the handlebar angle, leading to some pain on even mild rides. But the rubber wedges on the GS2 push back into my palm to straighten up my wrists to the angle they really need to be at. There's no pain anymore. There's also a lot of impact dampening in the rubber pads, which helps even further. The short end bars provide an alternate hold, which I'm convinced is a trick to comfort on longer bike rides. Well worth the spend.
Comfortable

Grips turned up minus one bolt. The team at MTB direct were right on it and had a replacement pair out to me straight away. Fast and professional service.
As for the grips we’ll their Ergon, another comfortable, supportive and quality product as you’d come to expect.
Great option for bar ends

A great option for bar ends that provide several hand positions for more endurance focussed riding. Great quality from Ergon and easy to install.
