GP2 Evo Kork

  • The evolution of the popular comfort grip with bar end
  • Prevents pain in the hand and wrist
  • Effective relief thanks to alternative gripping positions
We made the most popular cork grip even better. The innovative evolution of the GP2 Evo Kork improves all aspects of its predecessor: optimum pressure distribution, best long-distance comfort and highest material quality free of harmful substances. The newly designed fully rubberized two-finger bar end can now be adjusted independently of the grip and thus offers even more effective relief through alternative hand positioning. Whether taking your bike for a short ride or sitting in the saddle all day - the GP2 Evo Kork will make your ride more enjoyable.

Cycling without Discomfort

Irritation and pain in the palms and wrists, numbness in the fingers, discomfort in the forearms and upper arms as well as in the neck and shoulders – these are all common symptoms when cycling. They are often caused by unergonomic grips that distribute the pressure incorrectly and cause permanent misalignments. The resulting discomfort and pain can even lead to more serious hand or wrist injury. That's why you should trust the market leader. The Ergon GP2 Evo Kork provides effective relief and guarantees pain-free riding pleasure.

The GP2 Evo Kork relieves the hand and thus prevents pain.

The integral Bar End – Change your Grip

The integrated two-finger bar end of the GP2 Evo Kork provides alternative grip positions relieving the entire upper body. The bar ends are completely rubberized offering comfortable dampening for greater riding comfort, while the ergonomic shape ensures even pressure distribution.

Pressure Distribution to Relieve the Nerves

The hands are exposed to high pressure when cycling, as a large part of the upper body weight rests on the relatively small surface of the grip. This often pinches the very sensitive ulnar nerve leading to unpleasant feelings of numbness during and after the ride. The GP2 Evo Kork is equipped with an ergonomic wing which distributes pressure over a larger surface area than common round grips, effectively preventing discomfort.

The ulnar nerve is pinched off by strong punctual pressure. The wing protects the ulnar nerve and thus prevents numbness in the fingers

Less Discomfort with a Straight Wrist

A bent wrist applies pressure on tendons, blood vessels and nerves, which can lead to a compression of the carpal tunnel and damage to the median nerve. This results in pain, numb fingers or more serious injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The ergonomic wing of the GP2 Evo Kork straightens the wrist position, relieving any pressure and noticeably increasing your riding comfort.

If the wrist is bent too much, the carpal tunnel is jammed. The solution is provided by the wing grip: it optimally aligns the wrist and thus stretches the carpal tunnel.

The right Grip Size for every Hand

Grip size is very important when it comes to preventing hand discomfort. Grips that are too small or too large can have a negative impact on pressure distribution. Therefore, the GP2 Evo Kork is available in two sizes to provide the right grip width for every hand size - for more comfort, the best ergonomic relief and improved bike control.

The GP2 Evo Kork is offered in Small and Large. For hand(glove)sizes 6.5 – 8.5 we recommend the size Small, for 8.5 – 10.5 size Large

Pleasant grip feel thanks to cork Up to 40 percent of natural material for highest comfort

The GP2 Evo combines ergonomics, function and feel with a natural material. The grip body is made of up to 40 percent cork farmed in the EU (Portugal).

The ergonomic Two-Finger Bar End Control and Relief

The ergonomic two-finger bar end of the GP2 Evo Kork enables a quick and comfortable change of hand positions. This provides relief on long rides and increases control and power transmission on inclines or uneven terrain. The bar end angle can be adjusted independently of the grip, enabling customized performance for every rider. The integrated, durable aluminum clamp makes installation a breeze, it clamps the handle and bar end to the handlebars with just one screw.

The cork version of the GP2 Evo is based on the redesign of this award-winning grip (also available as cork version), which has been proven by millions of hands.
