NewGP2 Evo

  • 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 bar end grip even better. The innovative evolution of the GP2 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 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 could lead to 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 provides effective relief and guarantees pain-free riding pleasure.

The integral Bar End – Change your Grip

The integrated two-finger bar end of the GP2 Evo provides an alternative grip position relieving the entire upper body. The bar ends are completely rubberized offering comfortable dampening for greater riding comfort, while the ergonomic shape ensures homogeneous 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 is equipped with an 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 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 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 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

The ergonomic Two-Finger Bar End Control and Relief

The ergonomic two-finger bar end of the GP2 Evo enables a quick and comfortable change of hand positions. This provides relief on long rides and increases control and power transmission, for example 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.

A Reference for 20 years From the Revolutionary Original to the GP2 Evo

For more than 20 years, the Ergon GP1 has been the benchmark for wing grips. The GP2 Evo is based on the redesign of this award-winning grip, which has been proven by millions of hands. The GP1 Evo and GP2 Evo are the ultimate evolution of the originals: improved function, made from the highest quality materials and a pioneering production process make these grips a true comfort milestone.

The Ergon GP1 has been the reference in bicycle wing grips for 20 years.

Suitable for all gear types The GP2 with a twist

The GP2 is available in special versions for different gear shifting systems. Both grips are the same length for regular shifting. Gripshift and Dual-Twist-Shift versions consist of two shortened grips. Rohloff, Nexus and Single-Twist-Shift only the right-hand side grip has been shortened.

The shortened Gripshift versions are classic GP2 models.
