Product Information

Full details

The Ergon GP1 Evo Single Twistshift Grips are designed for cyclists experiencing hand pain, numbness, or wrist discomfort, especially those with right-side rotary handlebars. They offer improved pressure distribution and wrist support to prevent conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. While providing excellent ergonomic benefits, their specialized design for twist shifters means they are not a universal fit for all drivetrain types.

FAQs

Are these grips suitable for trigger shifters?

No, the Ergon GP1 Evo Single Twistshift Grips are specifically designed for right-side rotary (twist) shifters only.

Can I use these grips on both sides of the handlebar?

No, this is a single-sided grip set. The left grip is longer (130mm) and the right grip is shorter (95mm) to accommodate the twist shifter mechanism. You would need a separate set for double-sided twist shifters.

What is the 'Evo' in GP1 Evo?

The 'Evo' signifies an evolution of the original GP1 grip, featuring optimized function, material, and workmanship for enhanced comfort and performance.

How do I know if my bike has a compatible shifter?

A compatible shifter is a twist-style gear changer located on the right handlebar grip. If you have buttons or levers for shifting gears, these grips are likely not compatible.

Are the grips made from natural rubber?

The grips are made from a special LongLife rubber compound that exceeds European quality standards and is free of harmful substances. It is not specified as natural rubber.

What is the warranty period for these grips?

Product warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale. Please check with your place of purchase for details.

Can the length of the grips be adjusted?

The grips come in fixed lengths (130mm left, 95mm right) designed to work with the twist shifter. They are not adjustable in length.

Troubleshooting

Grips are twisting on the handlebar

Ensure the clamp screws on both sides are tightened securely and evenly. Clean the inside of the grip and the handlebar surface to improve friction.

Numbness or discomfort persists

Verify the correct grip is on the correct side (longer on left, shorter on right). Ensure the twist shifter is properly integrated. Adjust handlebar angle or saddle position, as overall bike fit can influence hand pressure.

Difficulty installing the grip

Ensure the handlebar diameter is standard. For tight fits, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or specialized grip glue can aid installation; allow to dry completely before riding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces hand and forearm fatigue on longer rides.
  • Prevents wrist misalignment, potentially averting carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Provides a secure and comfortable grip, even in wet conditions.
  • Durable construction with high-quality, non-toxic materials.
  • Easy to install with a secure clamping mechanism.

Cons

  • Only compatible with right-side twist grip shifters.
  • The specific shape may require a short adjustment period for some users.
  • Not suitable for bikes with traditional grip shifters or trigger shifters.
  • Shorter right grip might feel slightly less substantial for riders with very large hands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These grips are specifically designed for bicycles with a right-side rotary handlebar gear shifter. They are not compatible with left-side shifters, trigger shifters, or other types of grip mechanisms.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the handlebar is clean and free of old grip residue.
  2. Slide the left grip (130mm) onto the left side of the handlebar and the right grip (95mm) onto the right side, ensuring the twist shifter fits into the designated area on the right grip.
  3. Tighten the aluminum clamp screws on each grip evenly until secure. Do not overtighten.
  4. Check that the grips do not twist under pressure.

Care:

  • Clean the grips regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber compound.
  • Periodically check the tightness of the clamp screws to ensure continued security.
