Product Information

Full details

The Ergon GP1 Evo grips are designed for cyclists seeking enhanced comfort and pain-free riding, especially on longer journeys or rough terrain. Their key benefit is superior pressure distribution and wrist support, preventing common cycling discomforts like numb fingers and aching hands. A minor caveat is that the integrated clamp design, while secure, requires specific tightening to prevent slippage. These grips are made in Germany, featuring a large, anatomically adapted surface area, ulnar nerve relief, and a twist-proof aluminum clamp for reliable performance.

FAQs

What is the difference between Small (S) and Large (L) sizes?

The S and L sizes refer to the grip's circumference. Small is generally recommended for hands up to size 9 (G5) and Large for hands size 9 (G5) and above. Choosing the correct size ensures optimal pressure distribution and comfort.

Are these grips suitable for drop handlebars?

No, the Ergon GP1 Evo grips are designed for flat or riser handlebars with a standard 22.2 mm diameter. They are not compatible with drop handlebars.

How do I know if I have the right size grip?

Your hand should rest comfortably on the wing without feeling cramped or overly stretched. The grip should fill your palm naturally. Refer to Ergon's sizing guide for precise measurements.

Can I replace just one grip?

Yes, you can replace individual grips, but it's generally recommended to replace them in pairs to maintain consistent feel and ergonomics across both sides of the handlebar.

What is the warranty period for Ergon GP1 Evo grips?

Ergon typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product documentation or Ergon's official website for specific warranty details.

Are the clamp screws replaceable?

Yes, the clamp screws are typically replaceable. If a screw is damaged or lost, you can usually find replacement parts through Ergon dealers or their customer service.

How often should I check the tightness of the clamp screw?

It's advisable to check the tightness of the clamp screw periodically, especially after the first few rides and then at regular maintenance intervals, to ensure the grip remains secure.

Troubleshooting

Grip rotates or slips during use.

Ensure the underside clamp screw is tightened sufficiently. Check that the handlebar surface is clean and free of lubrication. If the issue persists, the clamp may need replacement or re-adjustment.

Difficulty sliding grip onto the handlebar.

Clean the handlebar thoroughly. A small amount of isopropyl alcohol or specialized grip slip can aid installation, but ensure it evaporates completely before riding.

Numbness or discomfort persists.

Verify the correct grip size (S or L) for your hand. Ensure the grip is positioned correctly on the handlebar and that the clamp is secure. Experiment with slight adjustments to the grip angle. If discomfort continues, consult a bike fitter or medical professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Remove old grips from the handlebar. Clean the handlebar surface.
  2. Slide the GP1 Evo grip onto the handlebar. Ensure the wing shape is oriented correctly for your hand anatomy (typically extending downwards and outwards).
  3. Tighten the single underside screw on the outer clamp until the grip is firmly secured and does not rotate. Do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

The Ergon GP1 Evo grips are designed to fit standard 22.2 mm handlebars, common on most bicycles including mountain bikes, hybrids, and commuters. Ensure your handlebar diameter is within this range before purchase.

Care:

Clean the grips periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the rubber material. Ensure the grips are dry before riding.
