Description
The Ergon GP1 Rohloff/Nexus Grips are the ergonomic handlebar solution for those of you running Rohloff or Nexus hubs!Â
The GP1 Grip eliminates numb hands, aching fingers & tired forearms. Using a comfortable & durable rubber compound & an aluminium lock-on clamp these Ergon Grips can be adjusted & easily readjusted for the perfect fit & do not slip once installed.
Â
Nerve relief
When riding, your hands support a lot of your upper body weight on the handlebars, placing high pressure on a relatively small grip area. In many cases this pinches the extremely sensitive ulnar nerve that runs near the base of the palm near the pinky and close to the skin’s surface – often causing numbness. The wing grip increases the hand’s supporting area by distributing pressure over a wider surface and thereby preventing discomfort.
Â
Ergonomic solution
If your wrist is bent too much for too long, nerves, tendons and blood vessels are compressed. The result is the carpal tunnel channel is constricted, which could damage the median nerve. Long rides and fatigue make it even harder for the rider to maintain a correct and healthy posture. The wing design of our GP grips gives the hand more support and automatically puts the wrist into a more ergonomic position, preventing numbness, tingling and pain.
Â
Adapted to various shifting systems
Our GP Series of grips are available in special configurations for different shifting systems. For trigger shifters, both grips are the same length. For Gripshift or Dual-Twist-Shift, both grips are shortened. For Rohloff, Nexus and Single-Twist-Shift cyclists are provided a short right grip and full-length left grip.
The grip variant Gripshift® is delivered as GP1 model, not GP1 Evo model.

Since hand sizes vary from person to person, these Ergon grips are offered in two sizes; Small and Large.
These sizes refer to the gripping circumference. The large size is a thicker grip, and the small is a thinner grip. Two size options offer better hand closure around the grip surface. These size differences have a direct impact on the overall handling of the bike, as well as comfort.
Size Small – suits a 92mm hand circumference, or a glove size XS-L
Size Large – suits a 102mm hand circumference, or a glove size XL-XXL
