FAQs

What is the main benefit of the winged design?

The winged design distributes pressure more evenly across your palm, significantly reducing localized pressure on nerves and preventing numbness and fatigue during long rides.

Are these grips suitable for all types of cycling?

They are ideal for touring, commuting, and long-distance riding where comfort and reduced fatigue are priorities. They are generally compatible with flat or riser handlebars and specific shifter types.

How do I choose between Small and Large sizes?

Smaller hands generally benefit from the Small size, while larger hands are better suited for the Large size. A precise fit enhances comfort and control. Refer to Ergon's sizing guide if unsure.

Can I use these with Gripshift shifters?

Yes, Ergon offers specific versions of the GP3 EVO grips designed to be compatible with Gripshift shifters. Make sure to select the correct variant during purchase.

What is the warranty period for these grips?

Ergon typically offers a manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the product packaging or Ergon's official website for the most current warranty details.

Do the integrated bar ends offer different grip positions?

Yes, the lightweight composite bar ends with rubber inlays provide an additional hand position, allowing you to change your grip for comfort and leverage, especially useful on climbs.

How do I clean and maintain the grips?

Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure they are dry before riding.

Troubleshooting

Grips twist during riding.

Ensure the clamp bolt is tightened sufficiently. If the issue persists, check for any debris between the clamp and handlebar or handlebar itself.

Hand numbness despite using the grips.

Verify you have the correct grip size for your hand. Ensure the grips are not overtightened on the handlebar, which can restrict blood flow. Experiment with slight adjustments to grip angle.

Difficulty installing on handlebar.

Ensure the handlebar is clean and free of grease or dirt. Do not use excessive force; if tight, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol can act as a lubricant that evaporates quickly.

Bar ends feel loose.

Ensure the end plugs are fully inserted and seated correctly within the bar ends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces hand numbness and tingling on long rides.
  • Improves wrist comfort and alleviates strain.
  • Expert-validated ergonomic design supports back health.
  • Durable, high-quality German rubber construction.
  • Offers multiple hand positions for varied comfort.
  • Secure and stable mounting system prevents slippage.

Cons

  • May not be compatible with all handlebar types (especially very narrow ones).
  • Integrated bar ends add some weight compared to bare grips.
  • Initial setup requires careful attention to the clamping mechanism.
  • The winged design may feel different for riders accustomed to traditional grips.
  • Specific versions needed for Gripshift shifters, requiring careful selection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have the correct grip size (Small or Large) for your hand size.
  2. Identify if you need the standard or Gripshift-compatible version based on your shifters.
  3. Loosen the single bolt on the aluminum clamp.
  4. Slide the grip onto the handlebar, ensuring it is straight and aligned with your desired riding position.
  5. Tighten the clamp bolt securely, but avoid over-tightening. The grip should not twist under normal pressure.
  6. Install the included end plugs into the bar ends.

Compatibility:

  • These grips are compatible with standard 22.2mm handlebars found on most bicycles.
  • Special versions are available for Gripshift and Dual-Twist shifters. Ensure you select the correct variant.
  • Check clearance with integrated brake levers or shifters, especially on drop handlebars, although these are primarily designed for flat or riser bars.

Care:

  • Clean the grips regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • The rubber is UV-resistant, but prolonged extreme exposure may eventually affect its appearance.
  • Periodically check the clamp bolt for tightness to ensure the grips remain secure.
