Ergon GD1 Evo Factory Grips - Standard, Stealth

The tapered shape increases damping in the outer area of the grip, providing better shock absorption and comfort on rough terrain, while the inner section remains slim for precise control.

This exclusive compound is developed and manufactured in Germany for Ergon. It offers a unique combination of softness, precise feedback, and excellent adhesive properties.

The Standard grip is recommended for larger hands (glove size L/XL, approx. 8.5-10.5) or those preferring more cushioning. The Slim grip is for smaller hands (glove size S/M, approx. 6.5-8.5) or riders seeking a more direct feel.

Yes, the internal aluminum clamp system is designed to be twist-proof and safe for use on carbon handlebars. Always follow the torque specifications recommended by your handlebar manufacturer.

While designed for superior grip and feel, the specialized 'Factory Custom Rubber' is optimized for performance. Its durability is high for its class, but extreme abrasion in very harsh conditions might lead to faster wear compared to standard, less grippy compounds.

Yes, the end plugs on the GD1 Evo Factory grips are designed to be replaceable, adding to the longevity of the grips.

The Standard diameter grips weigh approximately 120g per pair, and the Slim diameter grips weigh approximately 110g per pair.

Ensure you have selected the correct diameter (Standard or Slim) based on your glove size and preference. If already installed, consider re-installing the correct size.

Loosen the grips, ensure the handlebar is clean, and re-install. Tighten the internal clamp screws firmly, using a torque wrench for carbon bars to the manufacturer's recommended specification.

Clean the grips thoroughly with mild soap and water. Ensure no residues from lubricants or cleaners remain. Allow to dry completely. The 'Factory' compound is designed for grip, but extreme contamination can affect performance temporarily.

Check that the clamp threads are clean and undamaged. Ensure you are using the correct size Allen key. If the threads are stripped, the clamp may need replacement.
