FAQs

What makes the Ergon GXR grips unique?

The GXR grips are unique due to their 100% Made in Germany construction, innovative AirCell-Rubber material for superior damping, and an ergonomic, lightweight design without an inner core or clamp.

Are these grips suitable for all types of mountain biking?

They are primarily designed for cross-country (XC) and downcountry riding where lightweight, shock absorption, and ergonomic comfort are prioritized. They can also be used for general trail riding.

How do I choose between the Small and Large sizes?

The sizes refer to the grip diameter. A general guideline is that Small is suitable for riders with smaller hands or those who prefer a slimmer grip, while Large is for riders with medium to larger hands or those who prefer a fuller grip. Trying them out or consulting Ergon's sizing guide is recommended.

Do I need to use grip glue?

While the AirCell-Rubber offers good friction, using a recommended grip glue is highly advised for a secure, permanent fit, especially given the no-clamp design. This prevents any potential slippage during demanding rides.

How much do the grips weigh?

The Large size weighs approximately 95 grams, and the Small size is around 80-90 grams, making them exceptionally lightweight for their category.

Can I use these grips on an e-bike?

The Ergon GXR grips are compatible with standard 22.2mm handlebars, so they can be used on e-bikes if the handlebars are of this standard size. However, their primary design focus is on XC performance.

How do I clean the AirCell-Rubber material?

Clean with mild soap and water using a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the unique rubber compound.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel loose or slip on the handlebar.

Ensure the correct installation procedure was followed, including the use of appropriate grip glue. Re-apply adhesive if necessary, ensuring full contact and proper drying time. Check that the handlebar diameter is standard 22.2mm.

Hand fatigue persists despite using the grips.

Verify you have the correct size grip for your hand (Small or Large). Ensure the grips are installed straight and in the optimal ergonomic position for your riding style. Adjusting handlebar position or brake lever angle may also help.

Grip surface feels too soft or gummy.

This is a characteristic of the AirCell-Rubber material designed for maximum damping. Allow the grips time to break in. If the softness is excessive, ensure you have the correct size and consider if a firmer grip material might be preferable for your riding.

Difficulty sliding grips onto the handlebar.

A small amount of isopropyl alcohol or a specialized grip slip solution can help ease installation. Ensure the handlebar is clean and free of debris. Do not force the grip on, as this can damage the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Ergon GXR grips feature a no-clamp, no-inner-core design. To install, carefully slide the grip onto the handlebar. Ensure it is positioned correctly and evenly. For a secure fit, it is recommended to use a grip glue or suitable adhesive designed for bicycle grips. Apply the adhesive to the inside of the grip or the handlebar before sliding the grip on. Allow adequate drying time as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions before riding.

Compatibility: These grips are designed to fit standard 22.2mm bicycle handlebars, common on most mountain bikes. The diameter is 3.4 cm, with available sizes Small and Large to suit different hand sizes.

Care: Clean the grips regularly with mild soap and water using a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the AirCell-Rubber material. Ensure the grips are completely dry before storing or riding. Periodically check for any signs of wear or detachment, especially if grip glue was not used.
