Ergon GE1 Evo Factory

The GE1 Evo Factory uses a soft rubber compound and a sculpted inner core that varies in density. This construction absorbs trail chatter and vibrations before they reach your hands, which helps reduce the muscle fatigue that leads to arm pump on long, technical descents.

While the grip surface is tacky and comfortable, it is optimized for use with gloves. You will get the best performance and secure handling in wet or dusty conditions if you pair them with your favorite riding gloves.

The paddle shape is designed to support your palm and alleviate pressure on the ulnar nerve, which is a common source of hand numbness. Additionally, the shape naturally guides your hands into an elbows-out position, improving your control and stability on technical terrain.

Yes, these are lock-on grips, meaning they secure to the handlebar via a clamp rather than friction. This makes them safe and compatible with both carbon and aluminum handlebars, provided you follow the torque specifications for your specific bar.

Installation is straightforward. Because they use a lock-on mounting system, you simply slide them onto the bar and tighten the integrated clamp with a standard hex key. No glue or hairspray is required.
