Ergon GS1 Evo Grips

The wing shape increases the surface area where your palm rests, which spreads out the pressure that would otherwise be concentrated on your ulnar nerve. By distributing this weight more evenly, it helps prevent the numbness and tingling often felt during long rides.

While they are optimized for endurance, the GS1 Evo grips are perfectly capable on technical trails. The three distinct texture zones provide reliable grip and control, though riders who prefer a round grip for aggressive, high-movement riding might find the wing shape slightly restrictive.

Yes, you will need a standard 3mm hex key to tighten the aircraft aluminum clamp. The lock-on mechanism is straightforward and ensures the grip stays secure on your handlebar without twisting.

These grips are designed for standard mountain bike handlebars with a 22.2mm diameter at the grip area. They are compatible with most cross-country and trail bikes, but they are not intended for drop-bar handlebars.

The dual-touch surface uses a softer compound that feels more forgiving and tactile than traditional, uniform rubber grips. It is designed to offer a secure, cushioned feel that reduces vibration without feeling mushy or unstable.
