Ergon GP5 Gripshift

My hands used to go numb before I got Ergon’s for my bike. The different grip positions are great to reduce hand fatigue while on long commutes. I got mine back in 2018 and they have never gone loose while riding, great hand support and comfortable definitely recommend these for your road/commuter bicycle. The quality of the grips have been excellent, even when stored in the garage for a few years, they still have a good feel while bare handed. Even better if you got good riding gloves 🧤 assembly was easy and you can adjust them to your liking. I can’t recommend these enough 🤘

I had been eyeing these bike grips for awhile but was not sure if I should spend so much. I finally pulled the trigger and I am glad I did. They are well worth the price for the comfort you will receive. I ride anywhere between 30-50 miles at a time and the grips I had were so uncomfortable. This are incredibly well made and easy to install. They secure well to your handle bar and provide an amazing amount of grip and comfort. I really did not know what I was missing until I used these. They also allow you to change your hand positions to provide better control of the bike. The best part that I had no idea until I purchased these is that now I find myself using better posture and now my back doesn't get as tight as it sometimes would during my long rides.

I have a hybrid/comfort bike for exercising in the evenings and weekends. I already have a pair of large hand grips with extended pad; but, still had hand numbness after 15-20 minutes of riding. I upgraded my gloves to OutdoorMaster Half Finger with Shock-absorbing Gel Pad and that got me up to 30-40 minutes before numbness would start to hit. The Ergon GP5 have a larger hand rest pad to spread the pressure and I like the handles to change your hand position for added comfort without sacrificing control of the bike. I'm still playing with the best handle position for comfort; but, I like them a little higher up than in the near horizontal setting. The handle bar hole on the Ergon grips seemed to be a touch too big or my handle bar is a touch too small in diameter because the Ergon grips slipped on with not a lot off effort and rotated freely once I put my palms on them. I experimented with double wrapping black electrical tape the length of the grips on the handle bar and using hair spray to lubricate the bar/tape (YouTube trick). The grips went on with some resistance and took some effort once the hair spray started to evaporate after a while to adjust for the most comfortable hand/palm angle. I also had to insert the grips all the way to the end where the handle bar ends were near to the Ergon adjustable hand grip hold attaches with the Allen topped screw. If not, the Ergon handles will come loose/off when riding. Because of this, the supplied decorative end caps were too long to insert; but, no-one will notice. I have no grip rotation when riding and the handles are very secured on the ends. You may not have the same issue with your bike like I did. I even ordered a 2nd pair for the wife's bike because I like the improvement in comfort so much.

I recently purchased these and they've made a world of difference in my riding. Having tried several different grips in this style from other companies that only provided maybe 10-15 extra minutes of comfort before the tingling/numbness started to set in, I was somewhat skeptical but took the chance and am glad I did. I can now ride for much longer periods of time; my longest having been 2 hours with no hint of any kind of pain. The horns are great for resting, climbs and downhill as they don't budge or give way when really pushed and pulled on when properly tightened unlike some of the alternate brands. Yes, they're on the pricey side at $70, but well worth it to me for bringing back the enjoyment of riding, and I can't imagine getting any future bikes and not having a pair of these on them. Excellent product.

It seems to be well made and it was easy to install. They are pretty comfortable but don't completely alleviate pressure against your hand. I don't think any grip like this does anyway. I bought these because it had the incorporated extender grips which I'd plan to install. They are okay. They appear to be hard plastic with some (not enough) softer rubber insert. They provide the ability to have a different grip and riding position which is nice but I wish they were a little better material and more soft rubber for comfort. also I wish they were a little longer for more grip area and positioning. These were very pricey. Ergon is a good name and you're paying for that name. I probably could have accomplished what I got from this for much less money. But still a decent grip.

I ride roughly 30 miles a week on a Trek FX2, towards the latter end of the ride my hands would start to experience numbness. I was able to alleviate this partially by adjusting my seating position. The stock grips still rotated on their own though. I saw another ride with these grips and decided to give it a shot. Whether using the lower grips (for tight turns) or the upper while moving at a steady pace - my comfort has increased drastically, and my seating position is more natural. Worth every penny. Just make sure they're tightened fully or they can slip around.

Easy to install, makes riding so much better with the additional hand positions. I do find my hand position a little bit cramped when my hands are on the handlebars…

These grips were a game changer for me. I had recently purchased an Aventon ebike, and while riding I would get pain in my elbows. With the wide and softer grips, and the ability to sit up taller and take the pressure off my arms with the”horns”, pain resolved. Spends, but worth it.

3箇所握るところがあり、ロングライドでも手の痺れや疲れが軽減されました。 クロスバイクで、やや遠出のサイクリングをする方にはお薦め出来ます。

Ero scettico su queste manopole, non tanto per la qualità, su cui c'erano pochi dubbi, quanto per l'effettiva utilità delle appendici (o corna che dir si voglia) che sempre più di rado si vedono sulle MTB recenti. Le appendici le avevo usate tanti anni fa su un paio di MTB con forcella rigida e mi ci trovavo benissimo (specie in salita). Passato poi a una bi-ammortizzata non le avevo più adoperate per paura di snaturarne l'assetto, dando inoltre alla nuova bici un aspetto troppo vintage. Pian piano quindi ne avevo perso l'abitudine. Il mio scetticismo tuttavia era infondato: alla prima uscita ho potuto (ri)assaporarne tutta la praticità, non solo per affrontare più comodamente le salite, ma anche per la possibilità di cambiare spesso la posizione delle mani sul manubrio, combattendo stanchezza e formicolii vari. Appendici a parte le manopole, anche in presa classica, sono comodissime e permettono di attutire molto l'effetto delle vibrazioni sui polsi grazie al design ergonomico e a materiali di qualità. Utilissime quindi per combattere/prevenire efficacemente malesseri tipo l'epicondilite. Il montaggio è abbastanza semplice, occorre solo avere un po' di pazienza per regolarle al meglio (trovare la giusta inclinazione di manopole e appendici) in virtù delle proprie esigenze e conformazione fisica (oltre ovviamente che delle geometrie della bici). Faccio notare infine che ha differenza di quanto si potrebbe pensare le manopole consentono tranquillamente anche di impugnare il manubrio tenendo due dita fisse sulle leve dei freni (come in tanti fanno in discesa).

Es caro pero de muy buena calidad. Ya he comprado varios. Lo recomiendo.

Excelente calidad
