Thinner, lighter, faster. Reduced to the essentials, the Ergon GXR Team does exactly what cross-country riders and racers desire: absorb shock, offer a secure grip, extremely lightweight, and an ergonomic fit. The GXR Team is a further refinement of the first truly ergonomic lightweight grip made of AirCell Rubber, the GXR. The team version was developed and ridden by professionals on the World Cup circuit and is now available for everyone. Offered in fast-paced neon colors, the GXR Team is thinner, lighter, and faster than the GXR. Utilizing a new and unique manufacturing process, the GXR Team is the first ergonomic lightweight grip made of AirCell Rubber. Super light, no clamp, no inner core, 100% made in Germany – the Ergon GXR Team defines a new chapter in lightweight MTB grips.

Features
100% Made in Germany
Completely new manufacturing process. The Ergon GXR is 100% made in Germany. From development to the material to the production – the entire manufacturing process takes place in Germany. For the GXR, we have created a unique manufacturing process in Germany utilizing an expanded TÜV-certified Ergon rubber compound.
Ergonomic Thanks to AirCell-Rubber
Micro air bubbles make the difference. The GXR brings together lightweight design and authentic ergonomics in a single product. Using a novel manufacturing technique, Ergon AirCell-Rubber is shaped into a grip that is ergonomically tailored to the hand, particularly for use in mountain biking. The exceptional AirCell-Rubber, rich in numerous micro air bubbles, boasts outstanding shock-absorbing features, being exceptionally lightweight, flexible, and SGS-certified for harmful substances. Conventional lightweight foam grips are limited in design because they are molded in one piece, compared with the ergonomic GXR grips. Due to this, ergonomic shaping and coordinated surface zones for the functional areas of the hand are not possible. As a result, bike handling is poorer, leading to earlier fatigue. However, with the GXR, you can maintain control of your lightweight bike at all times.
First Choice for Race Bikes
No clamp, no inner core. With no inner core or clamp, we have managed to reduce the weight to 75 grams (including end plugs), 15 grams less than the normal GXR. If you want to turn your cross-country bike into a lightweight race rocket without sacrificing grip, control, and ergonomics, you can do it with the GXR Team.
Technologies
Game Changer
MTB courses and routes are becoming increasingly demanding. There is also a trend towards downcountry, where longer travel lightweight full suspension bikes are used for racing and faster backcountry pursuits. Traditionally, bikes with a focus on lightweight construction usually do not offer optimum ergonomics and control. This is where the Ergon GXR Team becomes the game changer on today’s mountain bike cockpits: ergonomics enhanced, reduces discomfort, and provides the necessary grip to control the bike in any situation.

Special Textures for Every Zone of the Hand
In an MTB grip, outstanding grip feel includes not only the ergonomic design but also surface textures. The surfaces of the GXR Team are adapted and tuned to the different areas of the hand. The GXR Team fits perfectly in the hand when it comes to the fastest MTB mission.

Extra Grip at the Fingertips
For extremely technical singletrack, 100% grip on the handlebar is required. The texture is aggressive on the GXR Team grips where the fingertips must grip firmly.
