Goodbye hand pain and finger numbness
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 GP1wing shape, Ergon has made it possible for millions of cyclists to enjoy comfortable cycling for the over 20 years.

                                                                                                                        

Distributes pressure, protects the nerves
When riding, your hands support a lot of your upper body weight on the handlebars, placing high pressure on a relatively small grip area. In many cases this pinches the extremely sensitive ulnar nerve that runs near the base of the palm near the pinky and close to the skin’s surface – often causing numbness. The wing grip increases the hand’s supporting area by distributing pressure over a wider surface and thereby preventing discomfort.

                                                                                                                    

Ergonomic solution
If your wrist is bent too much for too long, nerves, tendons and blood vessels are compressed. The result is the carpal tunnel channel is constricted, which could damage the median nerve. Long rides and fatigue make it even harder for the rider to maintain a correct and healthy posture. The wing design of our GP grips gives the hand more support and automatically puts the wrist into a more ergonomic position, preventing numbness, tingling and pain.

                                                                                                                  

Two sizes – for individualized control
In order to help you maintain perfect control over your bike, your hands should not completely envelop the grip, which is why Ergon offers many grips in two size diameters – Small and Large. The difference refers to the grip width (hand size), meaning a larger hand will have a more positive fit on a thicker grip, while a smaller hand is better fit to a smaller grip. For hand/glove sizes 6.5 to 8.5 we recommend Small, for 8.5 to 10.5 Large usually is better.

                                                                                                                

Made in Germany
Design, development, manufacturing - the GP1 Evo is "Made in Germany". This guarantees the highest standards across the manufacturing processes: maximum product quality, expedited production and delivery timelines, and secure supply chains. By sourcing all raw materials in Germany and using exclusively recycled plastics, we also contribute to increased sustainability and minimal waste.

                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                      

Free from harmful substances and SGS certified
The unique LongLife rubber compound in the GP1 Evo exceeds European quality standards, is free of harmful substances and as SGS certification. Even the European Toy and Food Standard is met - a particularly important aspect for gloveless cyclists whose hands often have direct skin contact with the grips for hours. Two durometers of grip rubber provide the best damping and comfort.

                                                                                                               

Locked down for safety
The GP Series clamping system is extremely secure and easy to mount. Each grip is tightened with only one bolt to reliably secure its position and to prevent twisting. Another important safety feature is that Ergon’s aluminum clamps are cold forged and not extruded – resulting in a much stronger structure. GP grip versions featuring lightweight bar ends – made of glass-fiber-composite and with grippy rubber inlays – deliver additional hand positions for more comfort.

                                                                                                            

Laser precision textures for each gripping zone
In a technically perfected manufacturing process, the GP1 Evo has been given modern surface textures perfectly adapted to the hand. The laser-applied textures are not only precise, but also give the ergonomic wing outstanding comfort.

                                                                                                         

Inner core made of recycled plastic featuring fiberglass
The inner core is instrumental in the performance and comfort of the GP1 Evo. The core provides security, dampens vibrations and allows the grip to sit comfortably in the hand. The inner core of the GP1 Evo is made of recycled plastic that we have reinforced with fiberglass.

                                                                                                       

Seal of quality for quality of life
The GP1 Evo has been awarded the rating "Recommended" by " Froböse Formula.” Developed by renowned university professor, health expert and bestselling author Prof. Dr. Ingo Froböse, the “Froböse Formula " is a scientific seal of quality for products in the areas of exercise, nutrition and regeneration - a guide to increased quality of life, health and comfort.

                                                                                                     

A 20 year success story
The Ergon GP1 has been the industry standard in bicycle wing grips for 20 years. Millions of happy cyclists have put their trust in the GP1. The worldwide bestselling grip has been awarded countless test wins and awards. For us, that was not enough.

Adapted to various shifting systems
Our GP Series of grips are available in special configurations for different shifting systems. For trigger shifters, both grips are the same length. For Gripshift or Dual-Twist-Shift, both grips are shortened. For Rohloff, Nexus and Single-Twist-Shift cyclists are provided a short right grip and full-length left grip.

The grip variants for twist shifters is delivered as GP1 model, not GP1 Evo model.
