ERGON GP1 Evo BioKork Winged Grips

Ergonomics in sustainable form characterise the Ergon GP1 Evo BioKork grip. In addition to the pleasant feel and high comfort of the wing grip, Ergon’s revised grip concept impresses with sustainable materials to bring together ergonomics, performance and ecology. In addition to the natural material cork in the handle body, the grips are 20 percent grass fibres that replace the plastic in the inner support. The grips thus have very good damping properties and are quite light due to their low density.

Can the tried and tested be made even better? In the EVO update of the GP1 BioKork, the function, material and workmanship of the grip have been further optimised. These classic and comfortable grips for touring and fitness riders have been the global standard for wing grips for more than a decade and achieved many distinctions in tests. Development and production of the ergonomic grips takes place in Germany, to ensure the best quality down to the smallest detail, such as shorter transportation paths.

Ergon pursues the intention of the name GP (Grip Performance Comfort) by focusing on ergonomic comfort with excellent grip feeling. The special ergonomics of the Evo grips support your correct hand position, as long as the handlebars are not classic designs for Dutch bikes or English shapes that are bent sharply backwards for cruising. Complaints such as numb fingers or aching wrists and forearms are a thing of the past. The handles are especially comfortable due to the wide, pressure-reducing hand rest, which allows for various grip zones.

The material mix of cork, plastic and satin-finished aluminium ensures a modern grip look on a typical bicycle handlebar. Cork has natural antibacterial and anti-allergic properties and is therefore particularly skin-friendly. The cold-forged aluminium clamping rings fix the grips to the handlebar ends without twisting. Here, the screw clamp is fully integrated on the outside of the handle, increasing the contact surface without disturbing contact points. You will benefit from the ergonomic design of the GP1 Evo BioKork not only on occasional rides in the city, but also on your daily commute or extended bike tours.
