Ergon has further enhanced and refined the best-selling wing grip. The GP1 Evo is the new benchmark for hand comfort and support, is free of harmful substances and exceeds strict EU quality standards with a SGS certification. The Evo version elevates the original multi-award-winning comfort grip to the highest level of ergonomics and comfortable cycling. Design, development and manufacturing are Made in Germany to guarantee the highest quality product with increased sustainability and minimal waste production. The GP1 Evo Single Twist Shift variant has been specially developed for bicycles with twist shifters (e.g. Rohloff) mounted on one side on the right. It includes a long grip on the left and a shortened grip on the right.
Goodbye hand pain and finger numbness
Hand discomfort while cycling is common, especially on longer rides. With unsupportive conventional round grips, riders often experience numbness in the fingers, as well as pain and irritation in the palms and wrists. Discomfort in the forearms, upper arms, neck and shoulders, can also be attributed to unsuitable grips with poor support. With the iconic GP1wing shape, Ergon has made it possible for millions of cyclists to enjoy comfortable cycling for the over 20 years.
Distributes pressure, protects the nerves
While cycling, a significant percentage of a rider’s body weight rests on the hands. This leads to high amount of pressure on a small area of the grips. This often constricts the extremely sensitive ulnar nerve, which runs under the skin surface in the area of the pinky finger. The wing shape of the GP1 Evo, which is scientifically adapted to the hand, effectively distributes pressure over a larger area, preventing discomfort.
Aligned wrists prevents discomfort
Overly bent wrists while cycling results in nerves, tendons and blood vessels being compressed. This can lead to severe pain and mobility problems concerning the median nerve. The ergonomic wing design of the GP1 Evo gently supports the wrist in an ergonomically optimized position – effectively alleviating wrist pain and soreness and numb tingling fingers.
Highest quality, short production timeline, increased sustainability
Design, development, manufacturing – the GP1 Evo is “Made in Germany”. This guarantees the highest standards across the manufacturing processes: maximum product quality, expedited production and delivery timelines, and secure supply chains. By sourcing all raw materials in Germany and using exclusively recycled plastics, we also contribute to increased sustainability and minimal waste.
Free from harmful substances and SGS certified
The unique LongLife rubber compound in the GP1 Evo exceeds European quality standards, is free of harmful substances and as SGS certification. Even the European Toy and Food Standard is met – a particularly important aspect for gloveless cyclists whose hands often have direct skin contact with the grips for hours. Two durometers of grip rubber provide the best damping and comfort.
Forged aluminum clamp for security
Extremely safe and easy to mount. With a single aluminum clamp, each grip is secured to the handlebar. The high-quality, forged aluminum clamp allows for customized and ergonomic optimized adjustment of the wing angle. The screw of the clamp is located on the underside of the grip offering a streamlined appearance.
Laser precision textures for each gripping zone
In a technically perfected manufacturing process, the GP1 Evo has been given modern surface textures perfectly adapted to the hand. The laser-applied textures are not only precise, but also give the ergonomic wing outstanding comfort.
Inner core made of glassfiber reinforced plastics
The inner core is instrumental in the performance and comfort of the GP1 Evo. The core provides security, dampens vibrations and allows the grip to sit comfortably in the hand. The inner core of the GP1 Evo is made plastic that we have reinforced with fiberglass.
