Ergon GP1 Grips

The Ergon GP1 Grip: A Groundbreaking Innovation in Cycling Comfort

Developed in Koblenz, Germany by a team of passionate designers, ergonomic experts, and engineers, the original Ergon GP1 grip continues to set the standard for grip technology in the bicycle industry.

The GP1's Winged Shape Offers Unparalleled Support The winged shape of the GP1 grip reduces overall pressure on the hands and the ulnar nerve area, while supporting the wrist in a comfortable, ergonomically-ideal position. This design effectively eliminates hand pain, numb fingers, sore wrists, and forearm fatigue.

Adjustable Forged Aluminum Clamp for a Custom Fit The forged aluminum clamp allows the grip angle to be easily adjusted for a personalized fit. Once tightened, the clamp prevents any twisting, ensuring a secure and stable grip.

Compatible with All Mountain Bike Handlebars The GP1 grips are designed to fit standard 22.2mm MTB bar diameters, making them compatible with all mountain bike handlebars, including carbon fiber models.

Optimized for Various Shifter Types The GP1 grips come in different lengths to accommodate various shifter configurations: - Standard Trigger Shifters: Right and left grips are long. - Gripshift/Dual Twist Shifters: Right and left grips are shortened. - Rohloff / Nexus / XX1 / Single Twist Shifters: Right grip is shortened, left is long.

Addressing Common Cycling Discomforts The GP1 grip's design solves two common problems faced by cyclists:

1. Finger Pain: Excessive pressure on the sensitive areas of the hands can lead to numb fingers. The GP1's full hand contact area of 100% (versus 60% for traditional round grips) distributes pressure more evenly, relieving this issue.

2. Hand and Forearm Pain: Excessive wrist curvature can kink the carpal tunnel nerve, resulting in burning pain in the hand or forearm. The GP1's ergonomic hand position helps to eliminate this discomfort.

Ergon: Crafting Cycling Ergonomics Ergon's design philosophy is to treat the rider and bike as a single, integrated system. Their saddles and grips are engineered to match the contours of the human body, leading to better force distribution and the elimination of unpleasant pressure points.

Ergon's Dedication to Design and Engineering Ergon's designers are avid cyclists themselves, rigorously testing new concepts and ideas in real-world conditions. Additionally, 100% of the brand's engineering and development is conducted in-house at their German headquarters, ensuring a highly integrated and tightly controlled manufacturing process.

Professional Rider Feedback Drives Product Development Ergon works closely with professional riders, whose competitive demands and subtle feedback help to push the brand's product designs to higher levels of refinement and performance, benefiting both elite and everyday cyclists.
