GP4 Evo Kork

  • The popular four-finger bar end comfort grip in a completely new edition made with up to 40 percent cork
  • Reduces numbness and pain in fingers, hands and wrists
  • Effective relief through alternative gripping positions
The natural material cork ensures a pleasant feel and optimum long-distance comfort, even without cycling gloves. Cork combined with a bar end grip not only offers you better long-distance comfort by allowing you to adopt different positions on the grips, but your hands also feel comfortable on the natural material. Bar end grips in general provide better power transfer, which allows for more control on demanding sections of the route, such as long inclines. The Ergon GP4 Evo Kork is the further development of the globally popular four-finger bar end grip and offers you effective relief through ergonomic pressure distribution and the fully rubberised, infinitely adjustable bar ends that can be adjusted independently of the grips. For short rides or long tours – if you are looking for an ergonomic bar end grip made from natural materials, then the GP4 Evo Kork is the obvious choice. Not approved for carbon handlebars.

Comfortable cycling

Many grips look stylish, but offer very limited relief. Unergonomic grips can cause discomfort and pain due to incorrect pressure distribution or incorrect hand positioning – if the wrist bends sharply, carpal tunnel syndrome can even occur in the worst case. That's why you should trust the market leader. The Ergon GP4 Evo BioKork has been thought through down to the last detail and, thanks to its numerous ergonomic features, effectively prevents pain and irritation in the palm and wrists, numbness in the fingers, and discomfort in the forearms, upper arms, neck and shoulders.

Integrated four-finger bar ends – relief and control

Alternative grip positions not only relieve strain on the hands, but also on the entire upper body by straightening it up. The ergonomic four-finger bar ends of the GP4 Evo are fully rubberised, providing effective cushioning and even pressure distribution. The bar ends can be adjusted independently of the grip to give you the desired level of comfort and control.

Relief through even pressure distribution

Tingling, pain and numbness in the hands are common consequences of pinched nerves, especially the sensitive ulnar nerve. This is because a large part of the body's weight rests on the hands when cycling. To distribute this pressure over a larger area, the GP4 Evo Kork is equipped with an ergonomic wing, reliably preventing hand discomfort.

The wing shape of the GP4 Evo Kork distributes the high pressure points over a larger area.

A straight wrist for less discomfort

Pain, numb fingers and carpal tunnel syndrome are the result of compressed tendons, blood vessels and nerves – often caused by a bent wrist when cycling. The GP4 Evo Kork is equipped with an ergonomic wing that comfortably holds the wrist in a straight position, not only reliably preventing discomfort but also ensuring increased riding comfort.

The ergonomic wing design of the GP4 Evo Kork supports the wrist.

The right grip size for every hand

To ensure optimal pressure distribution, a grip must be adapted to the size of the hand. To enable every rider to take full advantage of the ergonomic features, Ergon offers the GP4 Evo Kork in sizes S and L, which cover most hand sizes without any problems.

CORK FOR A PLEASANT GRIP FEEL Natural materials you can feel

Cork is a renewable natural material that is ideal for bicycle grips. It feels secure and comfortable – perfect for long rides without gloves. The GP4 Evo Kork combines these features with the ergonomics and functionality of the GP4 Evo high-tech handle. The new version is made from up to 40 per cent cork, which is farmed in the EU (Portugal). The GP4 Evo is a clever symbiosis of natural materials and functionality.

THE ERGONOMIC FOUR-FINGER BAR END Relief, control, comfort

Quick and precise gripping is no problem with the Ergon GP4 Evo thanks to the fully rubberised ergonomic fourfinger bar end. The longer bar end gives you more grip positions than the GP1 Evo, GP2 Evo and GP3 Evo. Not only does this relieve strain on your hands and upper body thanks to the different grip positions, but the bar ends also offer improved responsiveness and power transfer, for example on long inclines. The bar ends can be adjusted independently of the grip to suit your individual requirements. The grip and bar end are easily attached to the handlebars with a single durable and sturdy aluminium clamp.

COMFORT AND STABILITY AT THE HEART OF THE GRIP The glass fibre reinforced inner core of the GP4 Evo

For even greater stability and improved comfort, the experts at Ergon have reinforced the inner core of the GP4 Evo with glass fibres. This gives the grip even better vibration damping, low weight and long durability.

PRECISION TEXTURES FOR MAXIMUM COMFORT Laser-cut high-tech functional surfaces for the best feel

The best grip comfort requires millimetre precision. That's why the Ergon GP4 Evo Kork features lasercut surface textures on all rubberised surfaces, which also ensure the best grip and riding comfort in all situations.

FROM REVOLUTION TO EVOLUTION From the original to the GP4 Evo Kork

The Ergon GP1 has been the benchmark for pressurerelieving wing grips for over twenty years. The GP4 Evo Kork is based on the further development of this revolutionary grip and is the ultimate evolution of the original: improved ergonomics, advanced materials and maximum precision in production make the GP4 Evo Kork the new benchmark for pressurerelieving bar end grips.
