Ergon GP5 Grips

Ergon GP5 Grips

• EXCLUSIVE QUALITY - The material used in Ergon grips meets the highest quality purity standards, is TÜV-certified, durable and absolutely unique in the world of cycling grips. Developed using medical grade white oil as the only plasticizer. The UV-resistant rubber compound has been developed and is manufactured exclusively for Ergon in Germany. Ergonomics, product design and engineering - all Made in Germany.

• 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 aluminium clamps are cold forged and not extruded - resulting in a much stronger structure. GP grip versions featuring lightweight bar ends - made of glass-fibre-composite and with grippy rubber inlays - deliver additional hand positions for more comfort.

• 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 noticeable pleasing to the touch feel.

The GP series is a perfect solution for common wrist pain during cycling. In particular the GP5 offers up an ergonomic approach to wrist pain relief with its pure rubber compound and numerous options for hand positions. Further benefits of this grip are the easy to install clamping mechanism and approved back friendly ergonomics. Not approved for carbon handlebars.

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 pinkie 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 more 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.

Specific to twist shifters:

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 Singe-Twist shifters require the right-side grip to be shorter to accommodate the shifting mechanism.
