Allows a more upright posture for you back and a better hand grip.
Pricey, but if it saves you back and keeps you hands from going numb, it’s probably worth it.
I added a couple of bar end mirrors which makes it harder to fit through doors.
I bought these hoping they would help the tingling I get in my fingers while biking. They were very sturdy and I wanted them to work so badly. As others have mentioned, as tight as I could get them they did slip on my bike so I had to send them back. I wish handles were just universal. Thank you Amazon for letting me try them though!

Great Purchase!
A bit overpriced, but these are quite comfortable. The product was easy to install, and now I have “two” more grips to rest my hands in longer rides. It helps alleviate hand pain/numbness.
However, one must be careful while using those grips. Only holding the regular grip allows you to break/switch gears.
Not sure how long these will last.
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 finally bit the bullet and purchased these. Makes my ride much more comfortable. The wider ends on the grip better support my wrists and the side bars allow me to sit up straighter. Makes riding more enjoyable.

I was considering selling my 10 year old plus straight bar Bicycle because I was getting numbness in the hands from the straight handlebar on long rides. I tried some other add on bars and even add on drop bars. None of these worked for me, they were either too sharp on the ends with nuts exposed, and/or the angles just didn’t work for me. Also the extensions I tried previously were all metal and not very comfortable.
I figured I would try these as a last attempt to keep my bike which I absolutely love other than the bar. WOW! As soon as I installed them, I knew these were what I always needed/wanted. No exposed nuts since the handle bar grips and extensions are all incorporated together, The extensions have rubber covering making gripping them secure and comfortable, even when sweating. The set was extremely easy to install and adjust.
The comfort I now have on longer rides is exactly what I was looking for.
These make me feel like I DO have a New Bike!
I HIGHLY Recommend these if you get hand numbness on straight bar bikes.
Comfortable and good for multi hand positions
These were easy to install, and I carried an allen wrench on my first ride to make some adjustments until they felt correctly positioned. They fit on the handlebar tightly, no problems with slippage as others have said, and the indexing on the bar end makes it easy to ensure both bar ends are adjusted identically.
I bought the large because i have big hands (another reviewer said it had nothing to do with hand size, but manufacturer website says it does), and I’m glad I did because they seem a little shorter in length then what I removed. Very satisfied, being able to change hand positions more often really helps on long rides.
ive seen a lot of reviews on these mention that they can break if your bike gets knocked over. thats not the products fault. they do what theyre designed to do, give you more grip positions on your flat bar bike, and they do it. i tried a few different types of grips before these, these ones are solid as normal grips and the "arms" are long enough for a full hand grip even with my XL hands. i can ride as long as i want and dont have to worry about hand numbness or wrist pain. i also like that the grips and arms can be positioned independent of each other. i was worried that they would twist because they only lock in one place, but theyre solid once theyre on.

Sehr bequem
Habe nun alle Gren durchprobiert, diese ist die mit Abstand beste.
I put the Ergon G5 grips on my flat bar commuter/fitness bike, and I’m so glad I did. These aren’t cheap, but being able to change to multiple hand positions is a game changer and makes my long weekend rides and 16-mile round trip commute much more comfortable. I was afraid they would feel flimsy, but they are rock solid, even for a 6’2″, 200+ pound rider. Quick tip for putting them on if you’re mechanically challenged like I am — put the grip and the horn sections together *before* installing on your handlebars. You can adjust the horn once it’s on your bike.
Montage nicht so einfach
der rechte Griff ist Werkseitig vormontiert, der linke nicht, somit habe ich mir sehr schwer getan den Griff zu montieren. Nach mehreren Versuchen war dann die Montage erfolgreich. Der “Beipackzettel” von Argon sollte berarbeitet werden indem die Erklrungen nicht in “Fachchinesisch” geschrieben werden.
BEST BIKE GRIPS I EVER HAD!!!
JUST WHAT I NEEDED TO RELIEVE MY BACK STRESS WHILE RIDING. BUT DONT GET TOO COMFORTABLE WITH THESE GRIPS, YOU STILL NEED TO PAY FULL ATTENTION TO WHATS AROUND YOU.
MEASURE YOUR BIKE AND GET THESE GRIPS NOW, I NEEDED LARGE FOR MY EBIKE.
NO NEED TO USE WD-40 AND A SCREWDRIVER, THEY INSTALL EASY WITH AN ALLEN HEAD WRENCH.
NO NEED TO BEND OVER BECAUSE THE RISERS ARE AWESOME!!!
Easy to fi
I like the design a lot, they work well but there’s a hard plastic feel to uprights so that’s why not 5 stars. A softer upright grip is needed.
Perfec
Initially bought a copycat product called MEETLOCKS. Which seemed ergonomic enough, but after two weeks of use really started wearing on the inside of my hand, after a month had to discontinue use.
Bought these original Ergon grips and these have been amazing, and not much more expensive than that crappy rip off.
They are pricey but the level of comfort is game changing.
I ride to work every day. I had a wrist issue that was making my rides very uncomfortable. My old grips were definitely exacerbating the problem
Within 2 weeks of these my wrist was feeling much better. Now when I ride my other bike it feels weird and uncomfortable
Perfekt fr den Umbau meines Copperhead 3 zu einem Touren-MTB. Nun hat man bei lngeren Strecken verschiedene griffmglichkeiten. Mchte nicht mehr ohne diese hrnchen fahren. 1 Stern Abzug fr kleine optische Materialfehler die bei so einem hohen Preis nicht sein drften.
Works well. Met my expectations. Be sure that the grip is flush with the handlebar. I needed to move a few things around on the handlebar to make the grips work and feel solid and secure.

Stabiler Eindruck
Die breite Handballenauflage finde ich sehr angenehm und die “Hrnchen” ermglichen, dass man fter mal umgreifen kann und so nicht dauernd die Hnde/Arme einseitig belastet.
Insgesamt machen die Griffe einen sehr stabilen Eindruck und sind einfach zu montieren.
Rückenfreundlich
Gute Qualitt, einfache zu montieren und zu verstellen, bis die richtige Einstellung gefunden wird.
Da ich immer fters Rckenschmerzen bzw. nach einer halben Stunde Fahrradfahren das rechte Bein einschlief, bekam ich von meinem Physiothetapeuten den Tip, den Lenker so weit einzustellen, dass man relativ aufrecht sitzt.
Lenkereinstellung war schon im oberen Bereich, ein neuer Lenker nur mit grerem Umbau zu realisieren.
Dann diese ergonometrisch geformten Griffe gefunden. Auf den ersten Blick etwas teuer, aber jeden Euro Wert. Seitdem sind o. g. Probleme verschwunden.
Mein jhrlicher Fahrradurlaub an der Mritz, mit einer tglichen Leistung von 100 bis 150 KM, ist Dank dieser Griffe wieder mglich.
Von mir eine klare Empfehlung.
Excellent bar ends
These come as a handle bar grip and bar end all in one unit. They are held on by one allen bolt. So fitting and adjustment are very straight forward. I personally like the ergo GP5 as they are a large bar end, which is what I wanted. There are shorter versions in the range and so there is a good choice. They are made to a high standard and I recommend them.
I purchased these and have been offered no inducement to write a review.
Für Mich unverzichtbares Produkt.
Diese Fahrradgriffe sind fr Mich als MTB Fahrer unverzichtbar, pat aber auch an Trecking Fahrrad etc… Wer regelmig Fahrrad fhrt weis wie unangenehm es ist wenn man falsche(Nicht Ergonomisch) Fahrradgriffe montiert sind. Seit ich diese Griffe daran habe, macht Fahrradfahren noch mehr Spa als vorher! Weil ich die Mglichkeit habe immer wieder die Handposition zu wechseln. Der Kauf hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt.
Die Montage bedarf allerdings Kenntnis, beziehungsweise Bedienungsanleitung ganz genau Lesen!!!
Es muss exakt montiert werden damit es nicht whrend der Fahrt wegdreht und zum Sturz fhrt.
Dieses Produkt hat auf jeden Fall 5 Sterne verdient.
Manopole di qualità eccelsa
Costano molto rispetto alle concorrenti, ma danno anche di pi.
Impugnabili in 3 comode posizioni agevolano molto la postura in salita. Si ancorano al manubrio in modo solido anche aiutate dalla vite in metallo. La posizione dei palmi, nelle andature rilassate, aiuta molto a non stancare le braccia. Assolutamente consigliate.
Really comfortable. Easy to install. Ergon is a reputable brand and it's very well designed bar grips. Very happy with the purchase. The only complain I have is that the only stock (with a reasonable price) I can find is outside of Canada, and I have to pay additional customs and shipping charge. But it's still a very good buy. I would definitely buy again if I have a second bike.

Erster Test verlief vielversprechend
Einen Preis fr Schnheit gewinnen die Teile nach meinem Geschmack nicht, aber das ist es auch nicht, worauf es mir bei solche einer Investition ankommt. Mir geht es darum, dass ich nach lngeren Touren (deutlich ber 20 km) keine tauben Finger habe. Nach einer ersten Probefahrt mit rund 40 km hat das auch ganz gut funktioniert, leider tat mir danach aber das Handgelenk weh. Ich gehe davon aus, dass sich das mit ein wenig Feineinstellung noch beheben lsst, allerdings htte ich mir gewnscht, dass ergo hier ein wenig mehr Anleitung fr die Installation gibt. Es ist zwar beschrieben wie man den Griff allgemein montiert, aber ber die richtige Ausrichtung im Detail findet sich nicht wirklich etwas. Auch ein Montagevideo von ergo brachte wenig brauchbare Erkenntnisse. Andere Stellen im Internet sind da schon etwas auskunftsfreudiger aber am Ende war alles, was ich fand eher nach subjektiven Empfinden ausgerichtet.
Quality German touring grips.
Very nice comfortable touring bicycle grips. Gives me a choice of hand positions. Quite expensive but German quality. Just be careful to order the correct ones.
The quality of these grips is absolutely first class. They definitely ease any aches or pains from the palms of your hand or wrists.
However, and there is a however, they are monsters. They’ve make the bike feel like it is twice as wide as it actually is. After using them for a few rides, I chose to go back to the GP1’s. Not because these grips are no good, they just seem slightly too big.
The GP1’s give exactly the same padding, but they don’t feel as enormous. Of course, the great thing about the GP fives, is that you can change your hand position on long rides. If you are doing long rides, then maybe these are the ones to ease fatigue.
I also think the GP1’s are better value as these are way more expensive.
Grips are very comfy but didnt quite completely ease my wrist pain or numbness. Made a difference for sure though. The ability to adjust the angle of the extensions is nice. Mine stay in place just fine. Had to make sure I had enough material sticking out for it to grip to. I weigh 295 and can fully rest on top of the extensions while riding. If they were 20 dollars cheaper I think that would be the sweet spot for pricing.

Comfortable
Yes they are comfortable. They are also very expensive. Maybe trying some different handlebars first would be a cheaper option. I already had wide bars. These made the width far to big going through gaps. However, they are comfortable and it’s nice to change position to ease the aches.
Improved hand comfo
With arthritis affecting my wrists, I needed to improve my ride comfort by changing my handle bar grips. These alternatives were a great improvement, providing a multiple of hand positions to ease the pressure on my hands – particularly during a long leisure ride. They were easy to fit and adjust but do need a torque wrench to tighten correctly. My bike shop obliged during a recent service. A little bit expensive, but have paid dividends in improved comfort.
Klasse Produkt. Scheint seinen Preis wert zu sein.
Aufgrund des schlechten Wetters kamen die Griffe bisher nur auf einer kurzen Testrunde zum Einsatz. Da machen Sie aber einen sehr guten Eindruck. Gut verarbeitet, solide, saubere Kontrolle des Bikes.
Ich habe sie mir gekauft, um bei entspannten Fahrten etwas aufrechter zu sitzen und mich bei Anstiegen gut absttzen zu knnen. Das scheinen sie zu gewhrleisten.
OMG! These grips are amazing. 10/10. Easy to install, easy to adjust (yes the vertical part is adjustable), and they just feel fantastic. I installed and my test drive was MUCH longer than I ever thought it would be just because it was so comfortable I didn’t want to stop riding. Totally worth it. Going to buy another pair for my son. They literally feel so good you WANT to ride more! 🙂
I have these on two hybrid bikes, Trek FX6 Sport and Cannondale Quick Carbon Disc. The Ergon GP5 grips are very comfortable and extremely durable. I’ve taken a few good spills and other than a few scuffs, the grips took with impact with aplomb! Great product, highly recommend.
Genau was ich suchte und auf Touren unverzichtba
Hallo,
ich hatte bei Touren von 2-3 Stunden immer mal Probleme im Handgelenk, obwohl ich schon ergonomische Griffe hatte. Nun fahre ich ein Tracking Bike und auch die nach vorn gebeugte Haltung ist klar, dass mehr Druck auf die Hnde kommt. Ich suche etwas, wo ich meine Handhaltung variieren konnte. Sei es steil nach oben um bei z. B. Touren auf Asphalt aufrechter sitzen zu knnen oder sportlich nach vorne bei Waldtouren. Kurz gesagt, ich bin sehr glcklich ber den Kauf und auch die Verarbeitung.
Great bar end grips
Got these to fit on my Elliptigo bike, they are a lot cheaper than the original ones, but the quality is just as good and these are cheaper in price but not quality, they are very comfortable to use and help a lot for hill climbing, I recommend these
I just installed these on my 80lb adventure ebike and they have been fantastic. The bike and I are both tall and these allow me alternate hand and body positioning by adjusting my grip frequently during my often 2-3 hour rides. Being as my bike is unusually large the GP5 grips do not stand out looks wise like they might on a normal size bike but in any case, it should be all about comfort and utility and these grips provide both better than anything I have seen. They are pricey but considering my 400 – 500 miles a month ride routine they are a great bang for the buck purchase.
Re the grips slipping, you need to properly torque the screw to 8Nm as is indicated in the install instructions and printed on the grips next to the hex screw. 8Nm is pretty tight so you should use a proper a torque wrench or have a bike shop help you out.
Qualität.....
die nicht zu toppen ist. Der Griff besteht aus einer nicht riechenden Gummi-, Kunststoffmischung. Der Griff ist der Ergonomie der Hand optimal angepasst. Die breiteren Enden des Griffs sollten so eingestellt werden, das Unterarme und Handgelenk gerade ausgerichtet sind, somit werden die Handgelenke gesttzt und entlastet. Die Lenkerhrnchen sind ebenso der Hand angepasst, diese kann man in der Hhe optimal anpassen. Ja , die Griffe kosten etwas mehr, aber Qualitt hat eben seinen Preis……….
Never loose your grip...
Easy to fit and totally awesome. Fitted to my Carrera MTB and love the Ergon design styling that gives you plenty of grip combinations with effortless comfort. Rubber grips are that good you wouldn’t necessary need gloves. Expensive but well engineered (Spend well – spend less). Buy some and you won’t be disappointed.
Manopole confortevoli
Le ho acquistate per utilizzarle su di una mtb che purtroppo uso quasi solo su strada.
L’impugnatura sufficientemente ampia e morbida, con un ottimo grip.
Le appendici permettono un assetto un p pi stradale durante la pedalata.
Dopo aver regolato l’inclinazione delle impugnature e delle appendici il formicolio alla mia mano destra quasi sparito del tutto.
Buon prodotto, anche se un p costoso.
I was concerned that it would be hard to install on my bike, but it was very easy. To give you and idea, the hardest part was making sure they were at the same angle on both sides :). The palm size is generous, so that alone made my hands get some relief from pressure. When I do need to shift positions, the uppers are sturdy and the angle is moveable to whatever you desire. You can change the tilt after a few rides to get the best fit. The other feature I like is less prominent in the marketing; the end cap is removable. That allowed me to install a good mirror that folds away. Overall, this was a great buy and a huge difference in comfort on my rides.

Good but a bit expensive
I will prob contradict myself here but these grips are realy good.I Owned the gp3 version for my last bike which were great as well,these realy take a lot of finger tingle away as its something ive suffered on bikes for years.BUT 50 quid,come on.If you ride a lot you cant realy put a price on comfort.BUT 50 quid come on haha.Sorry just checked my order form 59squids
4 Bikes, 4 pairs of these grips fitted
All of my bikes came with reasonably good grips but none were anywhere near as good as these. Once tried there is no going back.
All good with the transaction. Wanted to do upgrades on my new-used KHS hybrid. Was fairly confident that I’d have a problem with the install due to the 700mm bar and Shimano rotary shifters, not enough bar length. I was correct with a short landing left for the grips. I went to plan B and replaced the rotary shifters with a shimano upgrade, which has less landing on the bars. I didn’t want longer bars and wanted to change out the shifters anyhow. Shifters arrived, performed the exchanges. Have about 8 rides on these. Takes about 90% of the blood circulation issue out of the picture, then with the horns, you get 100% out with periodic position changes. I did all my final adjustments in my living room during the inital install, taking time to eyeball, micro adjust, set horn angle off the natural angle of your arm and wrist. The set screws provide a very snug fit. After going out for a maintenance operational check, I retorqued everything down and haven’t performed any more adjustments. The local bikers tend to stop by during ride-break and inquire about these.
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'm so sad! I bought Bontrager bar end adapters from my local dealer, but they didn't fit into the ends of these Ergon grips with my Isozone handlebars. And believe me, I really tried to get them to fit! I think these would have been awesome had they fit, because they felt great in my hand, so there is nothing wrong with the product itself--I just wanted to save someone the same headaches I just went through! My solution is to add Profile Designs boxer bar ends to my existing grips, and tape those suckers up, in hopes that they will be as comfy as these Ergon grips would have surely been.

I got these Ergon GP5 grips to give myself different positions when riding the bike. They are comfy grips but tend to slide around a bit. You can't really put a ton of weight on the top of the grip/bar ends or you will lose balance, but that's not really a big deal, I'd imagine most people would use the middle of the bar handle, not the parts pointing in. Also, this doesn't come with a tool (you need an Allen wrench) which is kind of ridiculous considering how expensive these grips were. If you have a lot of money to spend, then I'd recommend these. If you don't, these are nothing crazy special.

I ordered these recently, installed them yesterday and went out for a ride. These are excellent hand grips! The bar ends are adjustable & lock in place, keeping the whole unit unmovable. A slight adjustment on the position of my brake levers was needed, but only took a moment. The hand grips are soft rubber, providing good 'painless' support of your wrists. The bar ends provide numerous grip positions that help reduce arm, wrist, hand and shoulder discomfort during longer rides. I definitely would recommend the G5!

Worth every penny to ride without hand pain!
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.
Love these
So comfortable to use, 4 hour rides and never any discomfort form hands. Don’t need the horns this long, would have gone with the 3s if I had seen them first but good for protecting you hands and bike in tight spots
I think it took me longer to get the old grips off than it did to install the new one's. I was worried that they slid on too easily, they might not stay in position, but when I tightened up the allen screw, they were rock solid. I already have much less wrist pain after a 45 min ride (four rides so far). It's nice to be able to grip the bars differently to relieve hand fatigue. I would definitely purchase again.

I've been getting into street / trail riding with my mountain bike for health and weight loss. I do 2 or 3 rides a week which take around 2 hours (22-28 miles). I've been having intense thumb pain on my right hand such that I could not open a twist bottle with that hand (gatorade/milk/soda). This grip offers three different grip options which I've been purposely switching between on my rides. All three options are comfortable and usable (you can climb hills in any of the three without changing grips). Result: my finger numbness and thumb pain are basically gone. Highly recommend these grips. Also, super easy to install

I put these on my Trek FX-2, love them so far. I've read the reviews about the danger of the bar ends not being secure and coming off; I think this must be an installation issue with the grips not being pushed far enough onto the handlebar so that the bar end clamp doesn't adequately grip the bar. I moved my shifters and brake levers in and took the end plug of the grips out when I installed them so I could visually confirm that the bar ends were seated completely on the bar. With the clamps tightened, they are rock solid and I can't imagine how they would come off.

great product. Much more comfortable than the stock grip on my bike. One of the bars got loose in the middle of a 30 mile bike ride and I couldn;t use it for about 15 miles or so because it was rotating downwards if I put pressure on it. It was fixed by tightening the screw when I got home. Made my bike about 3 pounds heavier. A little expensive too.

Very good so far but needed the horns to tilt even further backwards
All OK so far – some people reported that the horns get lose after some time – but not so far. But I’m also not the usual MTB user – just cruising in the community and bought these horns mostly to be able to sit in an more upright position (severe lower back problems – which is surprisingly relieved very well by moderate cycling in my case :-))
So I guess my user case is quite specific and they are not meant for this – but still do the trick.
Delivery, Product Quality and Value all 5 stars – only 4 stars for my very specific requirement.
A must have for wrist support.
Brilliant! if you suffer from any kind of wrist pain then these are an excellent addition to any bike. They give so many options for hand position that you can keep riding and rest your wrists at the same time. They take a little practice to get the pads in the right place – took me a couple of rides to get them perfect. Worth noting that you can only use the alternative hand placements going up hill since you won’t reach the brakes 😉
Oh, they were dead easy to fit, too! Any amateur can fit these 🙂
Very well engineered grips. The palm is made of soft plastic which gives cushioned support. Especially matched with gel gloves for a comfortable ride which absorbs road chatter. I really like the style of the bar ends which give three positions to rest your hands on long rides and gain leverage when climbing out of the saddle. Only downside is the bar ends could be a little thicker as I have large hands. Overall very satisfied with this purchase. You can’t go wrong.
Gutes Produkt / Leider ein Mangel
Leider war einer der Beiden Lenkergriffe defekt bei Ankunft der Ware. Man konnte beim Linken Griff die Schraube nur bis zu einem gewissen Punkt drehen und dann blockierte das Gewinde. Es war mit freiem Auge nicht ersichtlich warum. Optisch hat alles gepasst aber die Schraube lie sich einfach nicht weiter drehen. Rckabwicklung (Rcksendung – kostenlos / Erstattung – nach 1 Tag Gutschrift) des Verkufers allerdings einwandfrei und anhand des funktionierenden Rechten Lenkergriffes kann man vorab sagen das dieses Produkt sehr gut zu sein scheint. Die Griffe sind aus meiner Sicht recht komfortabel. Auch in Sachen Stabilitt sollte alles gut und fest montierbar sein (wenn die Schraube funktioniert :)) … Falls sich etwas ndert in der zuknftigen Beurteilung der praktischen Handhabung werde ich dies aktualisieren, aber bis jetzt bleiben wir mal bei 5 Sternen vorerst.
Aktualisierung: Habe die Griffe neu bestellt. Gutschrift war innerhalb von 2 Tagen verfgbar. Die beiden Griffe waren einwandfrei zu montieren und halten sehr gut. Sehr angenehmes Fahrgefhl. Die Griffe halten genau das was sie versprechen. Es bleibt weiterhin bei den 5 Sternen.
Ero scettico su queste manopole, non tanto per la qualit, su cui c’erano pochi dubbi, quanto per l’effettiva utilit delle appendici (o corna che dir si voglia) che sempre pi 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 pi 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 praticit, non solo per affrontare pi comodamente le salite, ma anche per la possibilit 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 qualit. Utilissime quindi per combattere/prevenire efficacemente malesseri tipo l’epicondilite. Il montaggio abbastanza semplice, occorre solo avere un po’ di pazienza per regolarle al meglio (trovare la giusta inclinazione di manopole e appendici) in virt 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).
At first I was unsure due to the high price, but the reviews convinced me to give them a try, after all amazon always takes items back or exchanges them. They are better than I hoped for confirming once again you get what you pay for. They have reduced hand fatigue and they’re solid enough to take the pressure of shifting body weight during bumps, turns, and sprints. They are worth the money. I have large hands (they offer different sizes) and the grip is perfect. You can adjust them to the angle that’s best for your use. Once you’re comfortable where you positioned them, tighten them in place and they stay put. Make sure to push them on completely before locking the hem in place.
I want to assure you that I do not work for Ergon’s sales team. I’m skeptical of these reviews sometimes. However I put these GP5’s on my bike last night and today I rode my bike on one of my usual routes. These GP5 grips are awesome. I stopped by a local bike shop to get a mechanic to check the amount of torque I had applied to the bolt that holds these grips in place. These are simple to install but the directions emphasize using a torque wrench so these won’t slip when you ride. To make a long story short I had the original handlebar grips on my bicycle which were great but these GP5’s accomodate several different hand positions. I rode 30 miles today. These grips are awesome. Only time will tell if they hold up to the miles the original grips have seen(4000 miles). These are very comfortable. If I remember I will post another review after these Ergon grips see 2000-3000 miles.

I had issues with minor numbness in my hands after 30 minutes of riding with the stock ergo grips that came with my bike (Ghost Andasol Trekking 5), and hoped these grips would cure that. Things got better, but as the stock handlebar is curved a lot towards the rider, the longer part of the bar ends is not comfortable to hold (wrists are twisted into unnatural position). The top part with the ~45 degree angle does offer an alternative grip, though, and helps in preventing numbness. I think the problem is with the handlebar shape, and with a straight(er) one the grips would be nearly perfect. In winter riding with thick gloves, the bar ends get a bit on the way, but I don’t think it can be avoided without losing the comfortable second grip position offered by the long bar ends. Given the price, I’m also slightly worried that the grips can be taken off by just loosening one bolt.
These were bought on my account but my husband writes more readable, entertaining reviews than I ever could. so here are HIS words with which I totally agree!
“My wife wanted something like these for actual relief of issues she was having in positioning as we were starting to ride longer distances. She’s smart like that. As we were looking through options and doing some reading these came up. The longer “horn” was touted as a better fit than some of the shorter ones we read about. She made the choice-love that gal. Once I saw them I wanted some as well. For only one reason, they look absolutely bad azzzz! I had to have them! Of course now that we have ridden about 50 miles (16 today) with them….no doubt the best $60.00 (X2) we have spent on this cycling habit-so far. They offer a variety of comfortable options for hand and arm positioning while riding. Even the plain palm down grip is more comfortable because of the wider platform (than even Specialized body geometry grips I took off my bike). These Ergon GP5 grips are very adjustable – you can find the exact right position for yourself. If you are riding further than the corner store with Toto in a wicker basket, spend the $60 bucks already.” 🙂
Ich habe die Lenkerhrner seit September 2016 im Gebrauch, fast 2000km damit zurckgelegt und ihnen dabei einiges abverlangt.
Aus meinen gemachten Erfahrungen heraus kann ich sagen, die Teile sind teuer, ja, dafr aber jeden Cent wert.
Bei mir haben sie schon zwei schwere Strze berlebt. Bei einem Sturz wurde sogar der eine Hcker abgeschlagen und ich dachte schon dass war’s fr den Griff.
Aber von wegen, zu Hause hab ich bemerkt das ich ihn nur neu anschrauben muss.
Und ganz ehrlich, bei einem Sturz ber bzw. auf den Lenker ist es mir deutlich lieber, der Griff gibt nach und bohrt sich nicht in den Fahrer.
Jeder Griff besteht aus zwei Teilen, dem Griffkrper und dem Barend (Hcker). Beide Teile lassen sich unabhngig voneinander verstellen.
Am Anfang ist das ein bisschen fummelig und bedeutet dass man schon etwas herumprobieren muss, wenn man aber einmal die richtige Position gefunden hat sitzen sie perfekt.
Die Griffe halten Bombenfest, bei mir hat sich da noch nichts gelst obwohl ich zum Beispiel beim Bergauffahren stark an den Barends ziehe, ja beinahe schon reie.
Die ergonomische Form des Griffkrpers mit der Ausbeulung nach innen finde ich persnlich sehr angenehm, richtig eingestellt verhindert er dass das Handgelenk zu weit nach unten abgeknickt wird.
Was ich super finde sind die Hrner. Bei langen Fahrten kann ich die Hnde in verschiedenen Winkeln auflegen, das entlastet die Handgelenke deutlich.
Ich nutze dabei auch die nach innen zeigenden Enden der Hrner, dann liegen meine Hnde halb auf dem Ende, halb auf dem nach vorne zeigenden Teil und damit schrg mit ca. 45 zur Lenkerstange.
Ich fahre meistens ohne Handschuhe, zumindest im Sommer, und auch nach Stundenlangen fahren mit entsprechend schwitzenden Hnden kleben sie nicht und hinterlassen keine Rckstnde an den Hnden. Da hab ich mit Griffen anderer Hersteller schon deutlich schlechtere Erfahrungen sammeln drfen.
Anfangs fand ich sie ziemlich teuer, mittlerweile finde ich sie preiswert und wrde sie wieder kaufen.
I used these grips to replace the factory grips on my Trek Navigator 3. The original grips were very comfortable, but I could never keep them from moving (twisting) on the handlebars. I've been told that it's more due to me having too much pressure on the grips and that I should not lean on the grips so hard. Although there may be some truth to that, I don't really care why they move, I just want it to stop. I also like to ride long distances and wanted at least one more riding position. These grips solved both problems. They were very easy to install and absolutely will not move when riding, regardless of the pressure I place on them. The bar extensions work perfectly to allow me a different riding position and they stay fixed in place as well. These grips are a great product and I'd definitely recommend them.

I’ve used these grips for the past few weeks and am very pleased with the changes they’ve made to the bike. The larger resting area for the heel of my hands greatly reduces the pressure that caused the discomfort in my hands. I previously had standard shape grips made of foam, and although they were an improvement over rubber grips, my hands would go numb after an hour or so. these grips extend that time and also give the handlebars a different (better) feel. In addition, the ‘horns’ allow me additional riding positions, allowing me to sit more upright on occasion. I debated if I wanted this type or the GP4 style. Settled on the GP5 style for the added height and additional hand position. Only negative I’ve run across it that I sometimes bump my hand against the additional curved length, but with time I’m sure I’ll get used to it. Overall, I’ve ended up with a more comfortable riding bike and at a savings vs. a new, longer handlebar stem longer cables.
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 bought these to help reduce wrist pains, my circulation getting cut off, and/or pinching of my nerves. After riding about 10 miles with the old grips, I needed to take a hand off the bars to shake it loose and get comfortable again. With these, I’ve ridden 30 miles at a time and haven’t felt any discomfort. Unfortunately, I had twist-grip shifters, so these were too wide to fit on initially (-1/2 star), so I needed to replace the shifters with a set of these: Shimano ST-EF51 3 x 7 Speed Bike Shift / Brake Lever set . Once the old brakes and shifters were off and the new ones were on, these grips had plenty of space to fit. My old grips were very tight and a touch difficult to get off, however these slipped right on, and around, and off. To secure the wrist pad in place, the upright bar is tightened around it, but I found that even tightening them heavily was not enough to keep the main grip from twisting around, so I had to wrap the bare handlebar in tape to add some thickness inside the grip so that they would stay put (-1/2 star).
Always loved Ergon grips but always wished they didn’t have closed in ends that prevent the use of bar-end mirrors. Now the new GP series have bar-end plugs, I can pair these beautifully with Mirrycle mirrors – result!
Chose the GP5 as I have a Bosch equipped ebike and, even with the Intuvia unit removed, I still have the vulnerable connector base exposed if ever I need to up-end the bike to remove wheels. These are long enough to protect the connector base (along with other bar-mounted accessories) when the bike is upside-down.
Finally I can enjoy long trips!
I was more and more frustrated riding my new Scott as my hands numb when using the original grips. I usually go on 50-70 km routes and I had to find some solution, as after first 15-20 km I was fighting with pain in my hands instead of enjoying the ride. The Ergon GP5 totally changed the situation – now I can forget abt pain and I love riding more and more… 🙂
I had to change a few times the right settings of the grips to adjust them perfectly to my needs, and it works perfectly now.
If you think of which dimension to choose, “S” or “L” – my fingers are ca 7-8 cm long, my palm is ca 9-10 cm long and I bought the “L” size – fits perfectly. I have a very firm and wide support of the ball of my hand, and the fingers conveniently grab the grips.
I wish I had bought it earlier…
Not used much because of bad weather but a comfortable addition to my Whyte Stirling which had standard Ergon grips from new. Like the feel and the longer grips give a good range of riding positions. Got into the habit of using this type of grip having used alloy ones on my, now vintage, Muddy Fox for many years – can’t be without them now.
Not used to torquing my components so will have to buy a suitable torque wrench so as not to do the typical man-thing of over-tightening for future accessories of this quality.
I ride 7 miles to and from work. (14 miles a day 6 days a week). I experience a lot of numbness in my hands and fingers especially on the way to work which has a lot of downhill sections.
These have been on my bike for about 6 months now. They are easy to fit and take almost all of the numbness out of my fingers and on the occasions I do feel numb I am able to move my hand to a new position. These are one of the best buys I have made for my bike.
I bought the Ergon GP5 L for my new Scott Sportster 20 Hybrid. It’s grips were just round and hard on my hands for longer cycles. I had the Ergon GP5 grips fitted in minutes. They are fantastic. Their ergonomic design supports my hands brilliantly in the standard holding position. The extensions allow me to change hand position and are great for hill climbing. The grips are sturdy and very well made. They also look very well.
They are not cheap but they are worth their price.
