Ergon GS3 Grips

Yes, the Ergon GS3 grips are fully compatible with carbon handlebars. The clamping mechanism is designed to be secure without damaging the carbon structure.

The integrated 2-finger bar ends provide an alternative hand position, which is essential for relieving pressure and reducing fatigue during long rides. They are made from a fiberglass-reinforced composite, offering a sturdy grip point without adding significant weight.

The GS3 grips are specifically engineered to maximize contact surface area, which helps distribute pressure evenly across your palm. This design is highly effective at preventing the nerve compression that typically leads to numbness on longer rides.

While they are excellent for marathon and XC riding, they are designed for performance. The German-produced rubber compound provides precise steering and control, making them a great choice for riders who prioritize comfort and handling over technical, gravity-focused terrain.

The pair weighs 212 grams. While not the lightest option on the market, the weight is balanced by the added functionality of the integrated bar ends and the ergonomic support.

No, the grips feature an anti-slip surface and a specialized rubber compound designed for high-friction contact. The bar ends also include additional rubber texturing to ensure you maintain a secure grip even when changing hand positions in wet conditions.
