Ergon GP1 Evo Biokork Grips

The GP series is a perfect solution for common wrist pain during cycling. In particular, the GP1 Biokork offers a sustainable approach to ergonomic pain relief with its compound and numerous hand positions. Further benefits of this grip include a pure rubber compound, an easy-to-install clamping mechanism, approved back-friendly ergonomics, and approval for carbon handlebars.

Features

Organic

The BioKork version of our successful GP series combines ergonomics, sustainability, and a comfortable feel consisting of 40% cork material. The material comes from organic farming in Portugal and meets strict ecological guidelines. In the inner support, 20 percent of the plastic is replaced by grass fibers.

Ecologically Sustainable

Sustainability is high on the agenda at Ergon. Under the “GreenLab” initiative, packaging is developed from recycled materials, and entire products such as the GP1 BioKork are made from particularly environmentally friendly materials. All parts of the handle are consistently manufactured in an ecologically sustainable manner.

Playing It Safe

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.

Feel-Good Grip

Minimum friction – maximum comfort: Gripping confidence is enhanced with Ergon’s super soft, UV-resistant, durable compound and specific texture patterns. Additionally, your riding enjoyment is elevated with a noticeably pleasing to the touch feel.

Always the Perfect Twist

GP Series grips are also available in different versions that are compatible with various types of twist shifters. With standard trigger shifters, both grips have the same length on both sides. The versions for Gripshift® and Dual-Twist shifters have two short grips, while Rohloff®, Nexus®, and Single-Twist shifters require the right-side grip to be shorter to accommodate the shifting mechanism.

Technologies

Nerve Relief

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, 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.
