The GP5 grip provides maximum comfort and stability with a full-size, multi-position bar end, perfect for touring, commuting, or climbing.
The GP series is a perfect solution for common wrist pain during cycling. In particular, the GP5 offers 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. Note: These grips are not approved for carbon handlebars.
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 pinky, often causing numbness. The wing grip increases the hand’s supporting area by distributing pressure over a wider surface and thereby preventing diskomfort.
If your wrist is bent too much for too long, nerves, tendons, and blood vessels are compressed. The wing design of the GP grips gives the hand more support and automatically puts the wrist into a more ergonomic position, preventing numbness, tingling, and pain. The bar end angle can be adjusted independently from the angle of the grip for the perfect personal fit, and the bar end doubles as a clamp to lock the grip in place and prevent movement while riding.
The material used in Ergon grips meets the highest quality purity standards, is TÜV-certified, durable, and 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. 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.
Minimum friction and maximum comfort are achieved with Ergon’s super soft, UV resistant, durable compound and specific texture patterns. Additionally, riding enjoyment is elevated with a noticeable pleasing to the touch feel.
