Description

The original ergonomic grip. When the GP1 was released years ago, it took the market by surprise. Featuring a large platform for your palm, the GP1 offers a tremendous amount of support and reduces pressure. These are favored by riders all over the world. If you're a commuter of ride smoother XC trails, these are an excellent choice.

Who's this item for: This grip is designed for XC or commuters who are looking for more comfortable grip. This grip can aid riders who have carpel tunnel issues.

Mounting style: These are a slip-on grip with a single outer clamp.

Material: The body is made from 100% German rubber compounds of the purest quality, infused Medical-grade white mineral oil for improved 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 100% contact with the hand surface area, versus traditional round grips, that offer only 60% contact.

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: Available in different sizes for best fit.

  • Large XL-XXL glove size. 102mm hand circumference.
  • Small XS-L glove size. 92mm hand circumference.

Tips: Adjusting the angle makes a huge difference. From personal 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: Optimised to provide maximum comfort. For riders with carpel tunnel issues these are worth a look.

Cons: We have used these grips for all types of riding. They are great for smoother terrain, but we do not recommend them for rough or aggressive riding. We felt that they did not offer the same level of control as more conventional grips.

    Absolute comfort on those long MTB rides

    I have been using these grips on my MTBs for many years now . The flatter contour reduces the ability to "tense up" your hands when compared to the traditional round grips. For me, that means no more cramp in my hands when doing 3+ hour rides. I had a friend try out my ergon grips and she liked them so much she is now a convert!

    I put these on both

    I put these on both of my Giant Anthems to replace the standard round grips. The Ergons are way more comfortable so that my hands don't hurt even during a long ride of a few hours. They also give you more to hold on to so which gives you more control - especially on gnarly downhills. They are high quality and look good.

    Easy to fit. I have a

    Easy to fit. I have a dodgy wrist from many years age, and my wrist gets really sore after a couple of hours with round grips. The ergon grips have completely solved this problem. They provide excellent support and don't really affect the hand movement on the bars. They might not look cool but I don't care. They are excellent. I might but a set with the bar ends for really long days in the saddle.
