The Ergon GE1 Evo Slim Factory grips are a top - choice for cycling enthusiasts. Developed in the EWS, these grips are favored by professionals. They're designed for the toughest races in the Enduro World Series, evolving from the successful GE1. The factory rubber boosts performance with better durability, grip, and a great texture layout. With an ergonomic body position design, the grip surface supports an aggressive, wider bar technical trail riding stance. A simple 8 - degree turn to the handlebar axis automatically lifts your elbows outwards, giving you full control even on the most challenging Enduro tracks. Precision is a key feature. Thanks to its ergonomic shape and texture, the grip offers accurate control, helping you save energy that would otherwise be wasted on non - ergonomic grips. Available in Standard and Slim diameters, it suits different hand sizes and grip preferences. For maximum grip, the specific texture layout and ergonomic shaping work together. The texture against the gripping force stops hand rotation and improves control for both comfort and performance. The GE1 also features optimal pressure distribution. The in - board, soft rubber, tear - drop shape in the thumb area and the flared outer edge spread pressure evenly. The extended texture protects the ulnar nerve from compression, preventing common nerve issues like tingling and numbness. In terms of inner core construction, the varying grip wall thickness dampens vibrations in sensitive zones. The fully integrated grip end at the outer end adds extra damping comfort, creating a soft, cushioned edge. These grips are of exclusive quality, with the grip rubber made in Germany. The silicone - based, UV - resistant rubber compound is developed and manufactured just for Ergon, meeting high - quality purity standards and TÜV - certified. The internal aluminum clamp of the GE series allows for a wide gripping style. Technical specs: Name - GE1 Evo Slim Factory; Use - Enduro, All - Mountain/Trail, E - MTB; Weight - about 90 g per pair (weights may vary in production); Size - Slim; Material - Factory Custom Rubber; Clamp - Cold Forged Aluminium / CNC Machined.
Using these Ergon GE1 Evo Slim Factory grips is easy. Just attach them to your bike handlebars using the internal aluminum clamp. When riding, hold the grips firmly. The 8 - degree turn to the handlebar axis will naturally lift your elbows outwards, giving you better control. For different hand sizes, you can choose between the Standard and Slim diameters. As for maintenance, keep them clean by wiping with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid exposing them to extreme sunlight for long periods as the UV - resistant rubber, though durable, can be affected over time. Check the clamp regularly to make sure it's tight. If you notice any signs of wear, like loss of grip or damage to the rubber, it might be time to replace the grips. Remember, the weight per pair is about 90 g, but this can vary slightly during production.
