Features
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 over 20 years.
Distributes pressure, protects the nerves
While cycling, a significant percentage of a rider’s body weight rests on the hands. This leads to a 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.
Aligned Wrists Prevent Discomfort
Overly bent wrists while cycling result 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.
Technologies
Made in Germany
Highest quality, short production timeline, increased sustainability
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.
Unique Rubber Grips
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 has 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.
Safe, Simple, Subtle
Forged aluminum clamp for security
Extremely safe and easy to mount. With a single aluminum clamp, each grip is secured to the handlebar. The high-quality, forged aluminum clamp allows for customized and ergonomically optimized adjustment of the wing angle. The screw of the clamp is located on the underside of the grip, offering a streamlined appearance.
High-Tech Textures
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.
Comfortable and Secure
Inner core made of glassfiber reinforced plastics
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 from plastic that we have reinforced with fiberglass.
The Froböse Formula
Seal of quality for quality of life
The GP1 Evo has been awarded the rating "Recommended" by the "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
From the original wing grip to the GP1 Evo
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. We have continuously improved the original GP1 in function, material, and workmanship and now set a new milestone with the GP1 Evo.
