Ergon offers many bike grips that offer comfort, control, and tactile feel in a very specific manner. These options are incredibly popular, but there many riders who desire smart but non-specific ergonomics in a grip that has a more traditional shape. These riders want feel and control, along with the ability to relax their hand pressure a little while having the flexibility for greater hand and wrist movement. Serious trail and all mountains handle the toughest trail and corners with their body, and be being able to relax and loosely shift their body weight and position. You won't find too many times when these riders have a death-grip on the handlebar. They need to be loose, yet have tactile control. If all that makes sense to you, the Ergon GA2 Evo Grip the inboard Lock-on collar clamp may be the ideal grip for your bike.

Ergon shapes the grip from the inside out, in two dimensions. Visually this starts with the outer-core. First the zone around the collar (and your shifter/controls), is more slender and smooth, for better reach, and freer movement. As you move out towards the end of the grip/bar, it widens, and textures come into play. A larger parallelogram cushions and comforts, and wrapping under the outermost section is a more lined shape, offering ring and little finger the wrap and grip control that allows the rest of the hand to relax.

Of course the shape isn't the only reason the tactile control is superior, as you also have to give credit to the exclusive, super-soft, UV stable rubber compound made in Germany for Ergon. It just has the right balance of compression and surface tension that comforts and increases tactile feedback without feeling sticky. The unseen 2nd dimension is under the surface in the dual core base. The wall thickness of the inner-core itself is tapered, to increase the cushioning effect and provides the foundation for the highly effective and space economizing internal aluminium clamp, which allow the exclusive rubber to run out the end of the bar and end, while being super stable without twisting. It is the integration of all four facets that drive you and the Ergon GA2 Evo Grip to greater glory on the trail.
