To enhance comfort and prevent hand numbness, Escapa offers a wide variety of ergonomic grips, such as those from the Ergon brand.

Ergon has further improved and refined its best-selling winged grip. The Ergon GP1 Evo Grips set a new standard for comfort and hand support; they’re free of harmful substances and exceed strict EU quality standards with SGS certification. The Evo version takes the original, multi-award-winning grip to the highest level of ergonomics and comfort in cycling.

Say Goodbye to Hand Pain and Numb Fingers

Hand discomfort while cycling is common, especially on longer rides. With conventional round grips that offer no support, cyclists often experience numbness in their fingers, as well as pain and irritation in their palms and wrists. Discomfort in the forearms, arms, neck, and shoulders can also be attributed to improper grips with insufficient support. With the iconic GP1wing shape, Ergon has enabled millions of cyclists to enjoy comfortable riding for over 20 years.

Distributes pressure, protects nerves

While riding, your hands bear much of your upper body’s weight on the handlebars, exerting high pressure on a relatively small grip area. In many cases, this pinches the extremely sensitive ulnar nerve that runs near the base of the palm, close to the little finger and near the skin’s surface, often causing numbness. Winged grips increase the hand’s support area by distributing pressure over a wider surface, thereby preventing discomfort.

Ergonomic Solution

If your wrist is bent excessively for too long, the nerves, tendons, and blood vessels become compressed. As a result, the carpal tunnel narrows, which could damage the median nerve. Long rides and fatigue make it even more difficult for cyclists to maintain proper, healthy posture. The winged design of our GP grips provides the hand with more support and automatically positions the wrist in a more ergonomic position, preventing numbness, tingling, and pain.

Two sizes: for personalized control

To help you maintain perfect control over your bike, your hands shouldn’t completely wrap around the grip, which is why Ergon offers many grips in two sizes: small and large. The difference lies in the width of the grip (hand size), meaning that a larger hand will have a better fit on a thicker grip, while a smaller hand will fit better on a thinner one. For hand/glove sizes 6.5 to 8.5, we recommend the small size, while for sizes 8.5 to 10.5, the large size is usually better.

Free of harmful substances and SGS-certified

The GP1 Evo’s exclusive LongLife rubber compound exceeds European quality standards, is free of harmful substances, and is SGS-certified. It even complies with European toy and food safety standards—a particularly important consideration for cyclists who ride without gloves, as their hands are often in direct skin-to-grip contact with the grips for hours at a time. Two durometer levels of grip rubber provide optimal cushioning and comfort

Locking mechanism for added security

The GP series clamping system is extremely secure and easy to install. Each grip is secured with a single screw to reliably lock it in place and prevent twisting. Another important safety feature is that Ergon’s aluminum clamps are cold-forged rather than extruded, resulting in a much stronger structure

Laser-precision textures for each grip zone

Through a technically refined manufacturing process, the GP1 Evo grips have been equipped with modern surface textures perfectly adapted to the hand. The laser-applied textures are not only precise but also provide the ergonomic grip with exceptional comfort.

Inner core made from recycled plastic with fiberglass

The inner core is essential to the performance and comfort of the GP1 Evo. The core provides stability, dampens vibrations, and allows the handle to fit comfortably in the hand. The inner core of the GP1 Evo is made from recycled plastic that we have reinforced with fiberglass.
