Ergon GP1 EVO Black/Grey Handlebar Grips

Ergon has made the best wing grip of all time even better. The consistent further development of the GP1 stands for maximum hand comfort, optimal pressure distribution, and the highest quality, pollutant-free materials. With this Evo version of the multi-award-winning original comfort grip, Ergon sets a new standard for ergonomic, pain-free cycling on touring and fitness bikes. For the first time, design, development, and manufacturing are "Made in Germany." This allows for a more targeted and sustainable implementation of the commitment to delivering the highest quality down to the smallest detail, all through shorter production processes.

No pain, no numbness

Hand problems while cycling are widespread, especially on longer rides. Conventional, rounded, or seemingly ergonomic grips often cause numbness in the fingers, as well as pain and irritation in the palms and wrists. Discomfort in the forearms, upper arms, neck, and shoulders can also frequently be attributed to unsuitable grips. Persistent misalignment can lead to pain such as carpal tunnel syndrome. With its iconic GP1 grip, Ergon has enabled millions of cyclists to enjoy a pain-free riding experience for over 20 years.

It distributes the pressure, protects the nerves

While cycling, a significant portion of the body weight rests on the hands holding the handlebars. This results in intense pressure on a small area of the grip. This often compresses the extremely sensitive ulnar nerve, which runs close to the skin's surface in the area of the little finger, causing unpleasant numbness. The GP1 Evo's wing shape, perfectly adapted to the hand, effectively distributes this concentrated pressure over a larger area, thus preventing discomfort.

A straight wrist prevents discomfort

When the wrist bends at an angle while cycling, nerves, tendons, and blood vessels are compressed. This can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome and potential damage to the median nerve. The ergonomic wing design of the GP1 Evo supports the wrist in a gentle, straight position. This effectively prevents problems such as painful wrists, numbness in the fingers, tingling, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Two sizes for optimal pressure distribution

To effectively distribute pressure on the handlebars and prevent discomfort, it's important that the hand doesn't completely encircle the grip. For this reason, Ergon offers the GP1 Evo in "Small" and "Large" sizes. The main difference lies in the grip width. A thicker grip provides a better fit for larger hands, while a thinner grip is more advantageous for smaller hands – also for safety, as the optimal grip ensures the best possible control of the bicycle.
