GP1 Mountain Bike Grips, Black/Gray, Rubber

I had been eyeing these bike grips for awhile but was not sure if I should spend so much. I finally pulled the trigger and I am glad I did. They are well worth the price for the comfort you will receive. I ride anywhere between 30-50 miles at a time and the grips I had were so uncomfortable. This are incredibly well made and easy to install. They secure well to your handle bar and provide an amazing amount of grip and comfort. I really did not know what I was missing until I used these. They also allow you to change your hand positions to provide better control of the bike. The best part that I had no idea until I purchased these is that now I find myself using better posture and now my back doesn't get as tight as it sometimes would during my long rides.

Excellent. Good quality product. This is my second purchase.

I installed these on my mountain bike last week and have put around 30 miles on it since then. Prior to these i had just the basic rubber grips and my hands were going numb about half way through this 10 mile ride. My goal was to get grips that turned my wrists more in line with my arms vs the slight angle of just the rubber grips and was thinking that would help with numbness. After getting them i was a little skeptical that they would accomplish this but they did. The are better than i expected, it's great to have a larger surface to hang on to and rest your palms on, and they straightened my wrists. Be sure and take an allen wrench with you on your first ride to adjust. I had to stop and move them slightly downward two times before they really felt perfect. Cruising they were great and under power pulling up the grade they felt great. I did have to adjust my shifters inward about 1/4" because my hands are moved in slightly. I didn't realize on my old grips that i was actually hanging my pinky off the end because they were uncomfortable. Install is easy, be sure to loosen the bolt and they slide right on, it's tightening the bolt that holds them in place so they are not like a traditional grip where you use rubbing alcohol or water to push the grip on the bar. These slide on easy and after I tightened the bolt they felt secure and no movement. I bought the large, I am about 6' tall with hands that are average size.

I had been feeling a bit of numbness in my hands when riding. Admittedly, I have not been riding that long, so I can't say for sure that my old grips were the cause. Anyway, when I got these, I was surprised to discover that they had almost the identical dimensions and shape of the grips that came on my bike (a 2016 Giant FastRoad CoMax 1). The padding pattern is somewhat different and a little softer on these, but not substantially so. I read the instructions and installed them accordingly. No problems. However, based on the instructions, I noticed that my original grips were adjusted (by the bike shop) with the palm pads turned much further down. As soon as I got on my bike I could feel the improvement. My palms felt supported. Given the angle the shop installed the originals, I'm not sure I ever made use of the palm pads. Or, if I did, it clearly required my wrists to be bent significantly. So, I went out for a 10 mile ride. I soon realized that my shifters needed to be adjusted to fall in line with the new angle of the grips. Once I did that, I did notice an improvement. A warning, though: At first, the numbness started to come back, maybe even a little worse. I paid attention and realized that, because the pad was now in a usable location, I was exerting considerable pressure on it with my palms. Once I realized that and began to use the pad as a rest, rather than to support me, the numbing went away. What surprised me is, despite the nearly identical dimensions and shapes of these and my original grips, the feel was very different. One last thing: The end caps are removable and not required to properly place or hold the grips. Since I have a mirror that mounts inside the end of the handle bar, that is a plus. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that I noticed after my ride, one of the tiny rubber nubs on the palm grip appeared to be slightly distorted. This could portend these will not last long. I will update this review after I have put some miles on the grips and adjust the stars accordingly. If you already have grips with palm support on your bike, make sure they are properly adjusted before changing them out. According to the Ergon instructions, while in your riding position, your palms should rest, but not bear down on, the palm pads with your wrists flat in line with your arms (i.e. not bent).

This product is so innovative and category-defining, I hesitate to call them "grips." That word accurately describes traditional accessories for preventing your hands from slipping off the handlebars. With that as their primary function, traditional "grips" do not properly cushion or support the riders' hands on the handlebars. The German engineers behind the Ergon - GP1 have created a product that expands the surface area where your hand supports your upper-body mass so that the weight is better distributed rather than concentrated in the narrow band of surface area found on traditional grips. I have only used these for a few days, but already I am ordering a second set for my other bike. I won't cheap-out and get the immitation Asian-produced products. These are best-of-class in material selection and design-- something I'm doubtful the cheaper offerings will match. For instance, notice that the clamp is on the end of the grip closest to the wide palm support. This is assumed to be the area under the most pressure as the flange would create leverage to try to twist the grips. Those Asian-produced grips put the clamp on the opposite end where there is less leverage, so I expect there will always be a little slippage and sloppiness in those designs. These Ergon - GP1 are manufactured in Germany and also feature 100% recyclable / compostable packaging. This is one of the top cycling accessories I have ever purchased.

Codice prodotto 42410005. Sono manopole veramente ergonomiche e danno un appoggio al palmo della mano che fa veramente la differenza. Non si riesce a capire semplicemente impugnandole, bisogna salire in sella per capire il perché del successo che hanno avuto. Stavo per desistere dal comprarle su Amazon per via delle descrizioni fuorvianti: queste con codice prodotto 42410005 sono le GP1-L, ossia quelle più grosse che hanno una circonferenza di 102 mm nel punto dove si appoggia il pollice, che poi è circa la misura di una manopola normale. Quelle da 92 mm sono le GP1-S, destinate a chi ha mani piccole. Nessun problema con le viti, ma serve una dinamometrica per chiuderle ai 5 Nm stampigliati, anche se devo dire che per ora le ho serrate a 4, che mi sembravano sufficienti, e non ho avuto problemi.

さすがの一流グリップのメーカーです。 手首がかなり楽になりました。 もっと早く着けておけば良かったです。

Changed out OEM grips on Specialized Vado Turbo e-bike and so much better for overall gripping and comfort. Easy to adjust and secure with single screw and easy to install with in-stem mirror. Specialized would be well advised to do a joint venture with ERGON to include these grips on all their e-bikes.

Se sienten geniales, un material de gran calidad, y es muy fácil de instalar

I bought these to replace the stock handles on my Brompton. The regular Brompton handles were causing numbness in my hands on longer rides. Since installing these, which too all of 5 minutes, using a very clear online tutorial, my hands and arms are kept in a more natural and comfortable position - no more numbness. They a really comfortable - I can'r believe that I waited almost a year of discomfort before changing to these. One important point for Brompton owners. If you have the curved handlebars found on the H & M models, the lower handlebar may strike the ground during a full fold. I have a rear rack so this is not a problem. Owners of a Brompton with the straight S type handlebars may not face the same problem, even without a rear rack.
