Description

The Ergon GP2 Evo Biokork Grips are a pair of comfortable, ergonomic handlebar grips designed for touring & bikepacking. With an integrated & independently adjustable bar end & made from 40% recycled cork, these grips are comfortable & sustainable.

• The evolution of the popular comfort grip with bar end
• Prevents pain in the hand and wrist
• Effective relief thanks to alternative gripping positions

Ergon made the most popular sustainable bar end grip even better.

The innovative evolution of the GP2 improves all aspects of its predecessor: optimum pressure distribution, best long-distance comfort and highest material quality free of harmful substances.

The newly designed fully rubberized two-finger bar end can now be adjusted independently of the grip and thus offers even more effective relief through alternative hand positioning.

Whether taking your bike for a short ride or sitting in the saddle all day – the GP2 Evo BioKork will make your ride more enjoyable.

Cycling without Discomfort

Irritation and pain in the palms and wrists, numbness in the fingers, discomfort in the forearms and upper arms as well as in the neck and shoulders – these are all common symptoms when cycling. They are often caused by unergonomic grips that distribute the pressure incorrectly and cause permanent misalignments. The resulting discomfort and pain can even lead to more serious hand or wrist injury. That’s why you should trust the market leader. The Ergon GP2 Evo BioKork provides effective relief and guarantees pain-free riding pleasure.

The integral Bar End – Change your Grip

The integrated two-finger bar end of the GP2 Evo BioKork provides alternative grip positions relieving the entire upper body. The bar ends are completely rubberized offering comfortable dampening for greater riding comfort, while the ergonomic shape ensures even pressure distribution.

Pressure Distribution to Relieve the Nerves

The hands are exposed to high pressure when cycling, as a large part of the upper body weight rests on the relatively small surface of the grip. This often pinches the very sensitive ulnar nerve leading to unpleasant feelings of numbness during and after the ride. The GP2 Evo BioKork is equipped with an ergonomic wing which distributes pressure over a larger surface area than common round grips, effectively preventing discomfort.

Less Discomfort with a Straight Wrist

A bent wrist applies pressure on tendons, blood vessels and nerves, which can lead to a compression of the carpal tunnel and damage to the median nerve. This results in pain, numb fingers or more serious injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The ergonomic wing of the GP2 Evo BioKork straightens the wrist position, relieving any pressure and noticeably increasing your riding comfort.

The right Grip Size for every Hand

Grip size is very important when it comes to preventing hand discomfort. Grips that are too small or too large can have a negative impact on pressure distribution. Therefore, the GP2 Evo BioKork is available in two sizes to provide the right grip width for every hand size – for more comfort, the best ergonomic relief and improved bike control.

Natural grip feel thanks to BioKork – Sustainable materials for highest comfort

The GP2 Evo BioKork combines ergonomics, function, feel and sustainability. The grip is made from 40 percent cork cultivated organically in Portugal and fulfilling strict ecological guidelines.

The ergonomic Two-Finger Bar End – Control and Relief

The ergonomic two-finger bar end of the GP2 Evo BioKork enables a quick and comfortable change of hand positions. This provides relief on long rides and increases control and power transmission on inclines or uneven terrain. The bar end angle can be adjusted independently of the grip, enabling customized performance for every rider. The integrated, durable aluminum clamp makes installation a breeze, it clamps the handle and bar end to the handlebars with just one screw.

The inner Core – Stability and Comfort – The Heart of the Grip

The inner core plays an essential role in performance and comfort. The GP2 Evo BioKork’s glass fiber-reinforced inner core provides effective vibration damping and more support to improve control in demanding situations.

Lasered High-Tech Textures – Maximum Grip and Comfort

The modern surfaces of the new GP2 Evo BioKork have been meticulously customized to provide incredible grip comfort. The precisely lasered textures ensure a secure grip in all conditions.

A Reference for 20 years – From the Revolutionary Original to the GP2 Evo BioKork

For more than 20 years, the Ergon GP1 has been the benchmark for wing grips. The GP2 Evo BioKork is based on the redesign of this award-winning grip (also available as BioKork version), which has been proven by millions of hands. The GP1 Evo and GP2 Evo BioKork are the ultimate evolution of the originals: improved function, highest quality materials and a pioneering production process make these grips a true comfort milestone.
