Ergon GP1 Evo Lock On Handlebar Grips

Ergon has further enhanced and refined the best-selling wing grip. The GP1 Evo is the new benchmark for hand comfort and support, is free of harmful substances and exceeds strict EU quality standards with a SGS certification. The Evo version elevates the original multi-award-winning comfort grip to the highest level of ergonomics and comfortable cycling. Design, development and manufacturing are Made in Germany to guarantee the highest quality product with increased sustainability and minimal waste production.

Hand discomfort while cycling is common, especially on longer rides. With unsupportive conventional round grips, riders often experience 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 be attributed to unsuitable grips with poor support. With the iconic GP1 wing shape, Ergon has made it possible for millions of cyclists to enjoy comfortable cycling for the over 20 years.

While cycling, a significant percentage of a rider’s body weight rests on the hands. This leads to high amount of pressure on a small area of the grips. This often constricts the extremely sensitive ulnar nerve, which runs under the skin surface in the area of the pinky finger. The wing shape of the GP1 Evo, which is scientifically adapted to the hand, effectively distributes pressure over a larger area, preventing discomfort.

Overly bent wrists while cycling results in nerves, tendons and blood vessels being compressed. This can lead to severe pain and mobility problems concerning the median nerve. The ergonomic wing design of the GP1 Evo gently supports the wrist in an ergonomically optimized position – effectively alleviating wrist pain and soreness and numb tingling fingers.

*Note: Ergon offers the GP1 Evo in sizes "Small" and "Large". The difference between the two sizes is the thickness of the grip in-hand. A thicker grip provides an optimized fit for a larger hand, while a thinner grip is more advantageous for a smaller hand. Riders with smaller hands are best to choose the Small size. Riders with large hands are an ideal fit to the Large size. Ultimately, choice of size is a rider personal preference.
