The world-class downhill grip is now even better! Collaborating with top professionals like Rémy Métailler and Vali Höll, the Ergon GD1 has evolved to deliver enhanced comfort and control in demanding terrain. The NEW Ergon GD1 Evo Factory features improved damping, better control, and increased comfort for a more enjoyable ride. Its conical shape, super soft thumb zone, and new inner stop design reduce the need for excessive gripping power. Twist-proof on carbon handlebars, the Ergon GD1 Evo Factory is available in two diameters, catering to different rider preferences.
- The first MTB Gravity Grip with tapered grip shape (patent pend.)
- More damping in the outer area with slim inner diameter
- Unique rubber compound manufactured in Germany offers adhesive and rebound properties which have never been seen before
- The grip feeling is soft, but still very defined and precise
- The surface profile provides optimal grip and reduces the gripping force at the same time
- The slim inner stop additionally improves fast positioning of the hand
- The high-strength aluminum inner clamp keeps the grip torsion-proof even on carbon handlebars
- Interchangeable end plugs
Gold in the "Grips" category – MTB-News User Award 2024
The GD1 Evo Factory is available in two diameters, standard and slim. Standard is recommended for glove sizes Large / X-Large (8.5 – 10.5) or for riders who want increased cushioning. The Slim version is suitable for glove sizes Small / Medium (6.5 – 8.5) or riders who prefer grips with a smaller grip range.
The GD1 has a conical, tapered shape. The grip diameter gradually increases towards the end of the grip. This increases the damping properties towards the end of the grip while the inboard diameter stays slim and responsive. The result is that you get the combined advantages of great comfort and total control on demanding trail.
