Ergon Grips GE1 Evo Black

Excellent grips and feel very comfortable

The fill of the grip is the best.

It’s grippy, doesn't absorb shock of course but it is better than Stock handle bars

Switched over from a pair of raceface round grips on my Kona process a few months ago. Love them, they help me keep good posture, feel comfortable, and good grip. I almost always ride with poc gloves. I never had hand pain riding, but I did literally break my hand skiing in April and they feel… well… decent enough (using silverware, etc is tough).1.5 YEARS IN BUYING ANOTHER PAIRThe rubber is super soft and tacky and it wears down faster than others. Also, the plastic endcap does get beat up in crashes. I wish it would last longer, but obviously then grippyness and weight would be worse… 1.5 years of hard riding isn’t too bad, I’d love to have a rear tire last that long lol. I think the ergonomic contour is very slight, barely noticeable, but great at keeping your hands consistent, which helps technique. Hand is back to 98%, still constant feeling of wanting to crack my knuckles.

After suffering from some hand pain, I switched to these GE1 Evos. The hand pain is now gone and I really like these grips. They're grippy, comfortable and all around really nice grips. However, a major downside is the plastic ends. You knock them against a tree and the end of the grip just shatters. I've bought several pairs of these now and they just don't last because of this issue. It's become bad enough that I'm looking for different grips again. Disappointing because these are really great otherwise.

great comfortable grips

I installed these grips on my 2016 Giant Stance 1 and they looked and felt great. However, on the first ride, I skidded out, and one of the handles hit the ground and the underlying plastic (under the rubber part) cracked. The fall was a fairly soft fall, so I was extremely surprised when my grip lost its shape on my handlebars. Really wish that these were more durable.Bottom line is, it looks great, feels great, but not that durable.

I have been using these grips for many years. I have them on three of my bikes. I would highly recommend them.
