The Ergon GE1 Evo Slim Black grips are a game - changer for mountain biking. Developed in the Enduro World Series (EWS), they offer top - notch race performance and full control. This is the evolution of the successful Ergon GE1, tailored for Enduro racing. It's the first ergonomic, rider - focused grip for wide rise bars, bringing more comfort, a sharper grip feel, and better performance. The grip surface supports an aggressive, wide - bar technical trail riding position. Turning 8 degrees to the handlebar axis, it automatically lifts your elbows outwards when you grip, ensuring maximum control even on the toughest Enduro tracks. With its ergonomic shape and texture layout, the GE1 Evo provides precise gripping control. This helps you save energy that would otherwise be wasted with a non - ergonomic grip. Available in Standard and Slim diameters, it suits different hand sizes and grip preferences. The specific texture layout and ergonomic shaping boost gripping control. The texture going against the gripping force stops hand rotation and enhances both comfort and performance. The GE1 features a soft rubber, tear - drop shape for the thumb area on the inboard side. It flares out towards the outer edge for better pressure distribution. The texture at the end of the grip protects the ulnar nerve from compression, preventing common nerve issues like tingling and numbness. The inner core has a variable - thickness grip wall, damping vibrations in sensitive zones. The fully integrated grip end at the far outer end adds extra damping comfort, creating a soft, cushioned edge. These grips are made with high - quality rubber. The material meets the highest purity standards, is TÜV - certified, and is made in Germany without filler, using medical - grade white oil as the plasticizer. The UV - resistant rubber compound is exclusive to Ergon. The internal aluminum clamp of the GE series allows for a wide gripping style.

Using your Ergon GE1 Evo Slim Black grips is easy. Just install them on your bike's handlebars using the internal aluminum clamp. Make sure they are tightened properly for a secure fit. When riding, hold the grips firmly. The 8 - degree turn of the grips will naturally lift your elbows outwards, giving you better control. For different hand sizes, you can choose the Slim diameter if it suits you better. When it comes to maintenance, keep the grips clean. You can use a mild soap and water solution to wipe them down after a dirty ride. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the rubber. Also, check the clamp regularly to ensure it remains tight. If you notice any signs of wear or if the grips start to feel loose, it might be time to replace them. Store your bike in a cool, dry place to prevent the rubber from deteriorating due to extreme heat or cold. And remember, the weight of the grips may vary slightly, but this won't affect their performance.
