Features
Conical Grip Design
The GD1 Evo Factory features a conical, tapered shape where the grip diameter gradually increases towards the end. This design enhances damping properties while maintaining a slim, responsive inboard diameter. The result is a combination of excellent comfort and total control on demanding trails.
Minimum Effort – Maximum Grip
The anti-slip tread pattern, along with the new super soft thumb zone, provides maximum grip. The slim redesigned inner stop improves hand positioning and ensures full access to shift levers. This design allows for maximum control with less gripping force.
Available in Two Sizes
The GD1 Evo Factory is available in two diameters: Regular and Slim. The Regular size is recommended for glove sizes Large / X-Large (8.5 – 10.5) or riders who seek increased cushioning. The Slim version is suitable for glove sizes Small / Medium (6.5 – 8.5) or those who prefer a smaller grip range.
