The darling of some Enduro World Series riders. The gripping surfaces have been designed so that when correctly fitted, you automatically adopt the correct angle between your forearms and elbows.

The GE1 Slim with its thin diameter is one of our top favourites, both visually and functionally. With the rounded screw clamp and the ergonomic grip body it looks like a design object. It grips directly and non-slip, even when wet. The ribbing gives extra grip. Super!

The wide handlebar ergonomics of the Ergon GE1 creates even more grip on the outside of the hand. With great color options and a forged aluminum inner clamp, the grip is a practical addition to any tour.

As usual with the previous models, the slight rotation of the grip surfaces supports an optimal position of the elbows. The rubber compound of the grips has been further improved to provide even more grip.

The grip surface is designed to actively support the more aggressive, wider bar technical trail riding position. By turning 8 degrees to the handlebar axis, the elbows are automatically lifted outwards when gripping! This gives you maximum control at all times, even on the toughest Enduro tracks.
The GE1 Evo offers a precise gripping control due to its ergonomic shape and texture layout. This allows the rider to conserve energy that is normally wasted with a greater gripping force on a non ergonomic grip. Available in two diameters (Standard and Slim), suitable for different hand sizes and grip size preferences.
The increase of gripping control is due to the specific texture layout and ergonomic shaping. Having the texture go against the gripping force prevents hand rotation and enhances control for both comfort and performance.
The GE1 features an inboard, soft rubber, tear-drop shaping for the thumb area. The grip then flares out towards the oute edge to allow for more pressure distribution. The texture extends to the end of the grip and protects the pressure-sensitive ulnar nerve from being compressed. A better distribution of pressure in this area aids in preventing common nerve issues such as tingling, discomfort and numbness.
The grip wall varies in thickness within the inner core. This provides a specific delivery of damping of vibrations in common highly sensitive zones. The GE1 Evo offers additional damping comfort in the far outer end with the fully integrated grip end. This creates a soft, cushioned grip edge.
The material used in Ergon grips meets the highest quality purity standards, is TÜV-certified, durable and absolutely unique in the world of cycling grips. Developed without filler and 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. Ergonomics, product design and engineering – all Made in Germany.
The internal aluminum clamp of the GE series leaves ample space for a wide gripping style.
