Ergon GP1 Evo Biokork Handlebar Grips

I figured if these grips are good enough for the GMBN (Global Mountain Bike Network on YouTube!! Great videos if you’ve not seen them before!!) team - they will be far superior to my standard grips on my bike and more than good enough for me! Recommended for large to XL hands (glove size 8.5-10.5) or for extra vibration dampening they weigh in at a fraction above their stated 110grams. No surprise to hear they are really comfortable, and surprisingly adjustable - as they are ‘ergonomically shaped’ to fit your hand shape as opposed to standard round grips, you need to rotate the grip when on the bars to find your optimal positioning - this make take a few rides or two, so it’s probably worth your while taking your mini tool, or a small torque wrench in your bag when you go out to adjust on the fly if you don’t already carry these with you on all rides. Upon travelling down a very rocky mountain decline (roughly a mile long at -7%) at a decent speed (23mph) on a hard tail bike - upon reaching the bottom my arms and wrists were fine - everyone else I was riding with (all going a lot slower) was complaining about wrist aches and pain - I honestly didn’t feel a thing and the main thing is I beat them all down by a good minute! Supposedly the rubber used for these grips are developed in house by Ergon, and it’s so pure - you could eat them and suffer no ill effects - although - I’d image it would be a bit tough to chew down on these and obviously wouldn’t recommend it - I mean where’s the nutritional value…just grab a sandwich or refuel with a coffee and a cake like a normal biker!! As with all things rubber, these will obviously wear out at some point, and I’ll update this review as to how long they last for - if it’s not been updated it means they are still on the bike, still grippy, still comfortable and still in use! So far so good, I’d definitely recommend these to anyone as a pair of comfortable grips - some places think they look a bit weird, I’m not seeing why myself I like the look of them!

Great bike grips. Look good on the bike.

Bought these for my son. He says they give great feel and sem to be quality.

Comfortable and grippy

Quality kit at a budget price. The design of the grip is subtly sculptured with support in the middle and outer edge. This grip feels more "secured in your hand on bumpy descents and generally more comfortable overall. Im actually quite impressed 🤟

Exceptionally easy to fit; firm but comfortable and squishy rubber! Revitalises my ancient handlebars - one of the best things I've bought for the bike recently.

Why did you choose this product over others?: Great quality would reorder

Arrived on time looks brand new and took minutes to set up. Made a big difference to comfort, highly recommended. But the package had been cut open with a pair of scissors, I cannot comment on what should have been in the package all that was in was the grips and a crumpled up fitting instructions pushed into one of the grips. Was this a returned pair of grips, I paid for a brand new pair of grips.

Excelente compra, buen precio y el paquete llegó antes de lo previsto Los grips son extremadamente cómodos y se nota la calidad de fabricación, el color es justo lo que buscaba

Great grip, supportive in just the right places to coax you into a better hand position. My second pair of Ergons as they keep delivering quality products.

Veramente ottimo prodotto, bello da vedere, ma soprattuto veramente comode e con una presa ottima. Le migliori manopole mai montate sulla mia Endurona

I rode my mountain bike with the stock grips for about a year, then purchased some cheap grips off ebay and never really thought much about grips. I then opted to "upgrade" not really expecting much of a difference; I was mainly doing it to have the accessibility of the lock-on. But, once I got these grips I realized what QUALITY felt like. You wouldn't think it, but these grips actually changed the comfort of the ride to a noticeable degree. I originally purchased some RaceFace grips, but it didn't feel like they were worth $30; to me, that was a lot for some grips. The RaceFace grips also felt sticky. I then decided to try these grips out, and I was definitely impressed. The grips are a perfect size (I have the standard size) and the material is soft on the hand. I will certainly be a repeat customer.

Amazing grips I will be ordering again.
