Ergon Grips

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
