Ergon Grips

Comfortable, performance grips with control under pressure.

Why I Like It

These are the Ergon GE1 Evo Factory Grips — originally recommended to me at Buzz’s shop in Vail, Colorado. While they’re probably more trail/gravity oriented, I use them on my XC race bike because they’re just that good. Once you find a grip that feels right, it ends up on every bike.

They provide excellent control and comfort, especially on long, technical rides. I’m a heavy hand-sweater and these grips don’t get slick or wear out easily. The lock-on design also makes them incredibly easy to install or replace.

Pro Tips

Unlike others that wear or get slick, these hold up really well to sweat.
Paired with my favorite Pearl Izumi gloves, they make long descents and rough trails more manageable.
Great for anyone who experiences grip fatigue or wants better control in chunky terrain.
