The Ergon GS3 grips are expertly crafted for marathon riding and racing, offering outstanding support in multiple hand positions. The bar end, with a length equal to the width of three fingers, can be adjusted to your preferred angle. Even top cyclists love the perfect blend of comfort and lightweight design. These grips are a game - changer for nerve relief. When you ride, your hands bear a large part of your upper - body weight on the handlebars, which can put excessive pressure on the ulnar nerve near the pinky, often leading to numbness. The winged design spreads the pressure over a wider area, preventing discomfort. For ergonomic reasons, a bent wrist for a long time can compress nerves, tendons, and blood vessels, potentially constricting the carpal tunnel and damaging the median nerve. The winged shape of the GS grips provides extra support, naturally placing your wrist in a healthier position and preventing numbness and pain. Ergon offers the GS3 in two sizes - Small and Large - for a personalized fit. A smaller hand fits better with the Small grip, while a larger hand suits the Large one. We recommend Small for hand/glove sizes 6.5 to 8.5, and Large for sizes 8.5 to 10.5. These grips are of exclusive quality. The grip rubber is made in Germany, meeting the highest purity standards and certified by TÜV. It's developed without filler, using medical - grade white oil as the only plasticizer. The UV - resistant rubber compound is unique and made just for Ergon. The adjustable 3 - finger bar end, made of GF composite, gives you additional grip positions. It has been enhanced with direct - control lightweight rubber and is fully compatible with carbon handlebars. The specific rubber compound in the GS series offers maximum comfort for long - distance rides. It has the right amount of flex to distribute pressure evenly across your hands, and its texture ensures a firm grip, preventing slipping on tough trails.

Using these Ergon GS3 grips is a breeze. First, choose the right size based on your hand or glove size. If your size is between 6.5 and 8.5, go for the Small size; if it's between 8.5 and 10.5, pick the Large size. Install the grips on your bike handlebars and adjust the 3 - finger bar end to the angle that feels most comfortable for you. When riding, try different hand positions on the grips to relieve pressure and prevent fatigue. Remember, these grips are designed to support your hands in multiple ways, so make the most of it. As for maintenance, keep the grips clean by wiping them with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, as this could damage the high - quality rubber. Check the bar end adjustment periodically to ensure it stays secure. If you notice any signs of wear or tear, it might be time to replace the grips. Enjoy a comfortable and safe ride with your Ergon GS3 grips!
