ERGON GP2 EVO GRIPS

The new GP2 Evo is the next iteration of our popular bar end grip, which we have improved in countless details thanks to our many years of experience in hand ergonomics. The integrated 2-finger bar end can be customized and lets you alternate your grip to tackle static hand placement. With the new rubberized design, the GP2 Evo bar end offers even better handling and very good damping – effectively preventing numb fingers, sore hands and forearms. Like the GP3 Evo, the GP 2 Evo is manufactured from certified SGS pollutant-free rubber of the highest quality and, if you prefer, also comes in a cork version.

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 GP2 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 GP2 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 GP2 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 GP2 Evo. The core provides security, dampens vibrations and allows the grip to sit comfortably in the hand. The inner core of the GP2 Evo is made of recycled plastic that we have reinforced with fiberglass.


                                                                                                                 

Seal of quality for quality of life
The GP2 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 GP2 has been the industry standard in bicycle wing grips for 20 years. Millions of happy cyclists have put their trust in the GP2. The worldwide bestselling grip has been awarded countless test wins and awards. For us, that was not enough. We have continuously improved the original GP1 in function, material and workmanship and now set a new milestone with the GP1 Evo.


                                                                                                                        


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 GP2 model, not GP2 Evo model.
