Ergon GE1 EVO Lock on Grips

Directional grip texture - opposite hand rotation for maximum grip Improved pressure distribution Multiple grip textures for improved feel Maximum hand grip is assured with the use of silicone-based rubber compounds, a texture orientation which is opposite the rotation of the hand, and a damping inner core construction. The grip surface is rider-oriented and automatically ensures the correct angular position of the forearms and elbows. The grip surface is aligned at 8¸ to the handlebar axis and against the back sweep. This position allows you as the rider to automatically take the correct position of the elbows The optimization and expansion of the texture allowed us to make the grip rubber even softer and thereby further increase the grip. Varying wall thicknesses, in the different gripping zones, more grip rubber could be used where more damping was needed. Tuned damping within the various grip-zones due to different material thickness inside the grip core. The texture update is completed all the way to the edge of the grip itself, affording more room for comfort. The ulnar nerve on the outside of the hand is effectively relieved and numbness is prevented. The thumbs were also taken into consideration. The deeply drawn grip zone and the soft rubber compound further reduce the pressure in this area. Specifications: Model: GE1 Evo Use: MTB, Enduro, Gravity, All-Mountain Size: Regular Diameter: 32mm Material: Gravity controlled rubber Clamp: Cold Forged Aluminium / CNC Machined Advertised Weight ~ 110g per pair The GE1 (Blue, Red, Black, Lazer Lemon) is specially developed for aggressive mountain biking. Works great when handlebars are wide, and gripped right at the end, while the riders elbows are kept bent. This position dictates the construction of the grip, and in turn, the grip itself is able to prevent typical issues of tension in the arm and hand. With two rubber compounds, there are textured zones orientated against the direction of rotation of the hand. The grip also takes advantage of a lightweight high-quality aluminum clamp, securing the damping optimized inner core and the whole grip for better support and less fatigue. The aim of the GE1 update was to further increase the grip on the handlebars while further reducing required strength input. When mountain biking, less effort put into the handlebars leads to less muscle tension and thus reduces the risk of arm pump or numb hands. The results are more comfortable, better control of your bike and an optimized arm position. The evolution of the successful GE1. The new rider-oriented, ergonomic grip for wide riser bars. Thanks to the feedback collected from countless riders of the Enduro World Series, the Ergon design team succeeded in further improving the popular GE1 in certain details. The surface texture is now even more slip-proof and the rubber compound softer, lending constant precise grip. It actively supports the correct torso/forearm position during downhill riding by rotating the grip area towards the steering axle by 8 % the elbows are automatically outwardly raised! Forged inner clamp, fully integrated grip end connected to the inner core (Pat. Pending) this establishes a soft, damping grip edge, and your hand can grip right at the outer edge. Pressure is diminished from the sensitive ulnar nerve, which is located on the outside hand. Compatible with carbon handlebars.
