FAQs

What is BioKork?

BioKork is a sustainable material made from 40% natural cork harvested from certified Portuguese forests. It provides natural damping, is antibacterial, and hypoallergenic, contributing to a lighter and more eco-friendly product.

How do I adjust the bar ends?

The bar ends can be rotated independently of the grip. Loosen the internal clamp bolt slightly, adjust the angle to your preference, and then re-tighten the bolt securely.

Are these grips suitable for drop handlebars?

No, the Ergon GP3 EVO BioKork Grips are designed for 22.2mm diameter handlebars typically found on flat-bar bikes (mountain, hybrid, touring) and are not compatible with drop handlebars.

What is the warranty period for these grips?

Ergon typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Ergon warranty documentation for specific details, usually found on their website or with the product packaging.

Can I use these grips in wet conditions?

Yes, the high-quality grip rubber is designed for consistent performance in various conditions. The BioKork material also offers natural water-repellent properties.

How do I determine if I need the Small or Large size?

The Small size is generally recommended for riders with smaller hands or those who prefer a more compact grip. The Large size is for riders with medium to larger hands. It's often best to try them if possible or consult Ergon's sizing guide.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel too large or too small.

The GP3 EVO comes in different sizes (Small and Large). If the current size is not comfortable, consider purchasing the other size. Ensure the grip is correctly positioned on the handlebar.

Bar ends are not securely tightened.

Check the clamp bolt on the bar end. Ensure it is fully engaged and tightened securely. If the bolt feels stripped, contact customer support.

Numbness or discomfort persists after installation.

Adjust the angle of the grip and bar end to find a more neutral wrist position. Ensure you are not gripping too tightly. Consider adjusting your saddle and handlebar height for a better overall riding posture.

Grip rubber feels slippery.

Ensure the grips are clean and dry. If the issue persists, the grip surface may be worn. Check for any oil or grease contamination and clean thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your handlebars have a standard 22.2mm diameter where the grips will be installed. Loosen the clamp bolt on each grip. Slide the grip onto the handlebar, ensuring it is centered and oriented correctly for your riding position. The bar end should be positioned for comfortable reach and leverage. Once positioned, tighten the clamp bolt securely but do not overtightise. Adjust the angle of the grip and bar end as needed for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These grips are designed for standard 22.2mm diameter handlebars, commonly found on mountain bikes, hybrids, and touring bikes. They are not compatible with drop handlebars or handlebars with non-standard grip diameters.

Care: Clean the grips with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the BioKork material and rubber. For deeper cleaning, remove the grips (if possible) and rinse with water, ensuring they are thoroughly dried before reinstallation. Check the clamp bolts periodically to ensure they remain secure.
