ERGON GP1 BioKork Grips | Ultimate Ergonomic Comfort for Urban Cycling
Transform your daily commute and weekend tours into an experience of unparalleled comfort with the ERGON GP1 BioKork grips. Designed for discerning cyclists who refuse to compromise on performance or sustainability, these grips are the definitive solution to hand fatigue, wrist pain, and numbness. As the benchmark in the Performance Comfort series, the GP1 BioKork sets a new standard for ergonomic bicycle grips, blending award-winning design with the unique, natural advantages of a specialized cork construction.
Experience the Difference of True Ergonomics
Say goodbye to the discomfort that cuts your rides short. The GP1 BioKork features the legendary ergonomic wing shape that has made Ergon the leader in bicycle touchpoints. This design effectively increases the support surface for your hand, distributing pressure over a wider area to alleviate stress on the sensitive ulnar nerve. The result is a significant reduction in pressure points, preventing the common issues of numb fingers, and aching hands and wrists. This optimal pressure distribution and correct hand posture allow you to ride longer, farther, and with more control and enjoyment, making them the perfect upgrade for your urban, commuting, or touring bike.
Natural Performance and a Superior Feel
The GP1 BioKork provides ultimate ergonomics for the hand just as the rest of Ergon´s Performance Comfort series do, however the unique qualities of cork means that it is now antibacterial and hypoallergenic.
Cork´s natural damping qualities also make it an ideal grip material, and its now density mean the resulting grip is a lot lighter.
The GP1 BioKork uses 40% cork, sourced from sustainable forests in Portugal which is certified for its ecologically sound production.
This ecological theme is continued throughout the rest of the grip.
The inner core is plastic reinforced using natural fibre, which make up 40% of its mass.
In place of mineral oil, the gel in the palm section of the grip is vegetable oil based.
The clamp can also be 100% recycled.
It is all a result of Ergon’s “GreenLab” initiative.
For Grip Shift.
The unique material not only feels incredible to the touch but also offers superb vibration damping. Road chatter and trail buzz are effectively absorbed, leading to a smoother, more controlled ride. This makes the GP1 BioKork an ideal choice for riders navigating varied city terrain, from smooth bike paths to bumpy cobblestone streets. The lightweight nature of the design ensures your bike remains nimble and responsive without adding unnecessary weight.
Secure, Sustainable, and Built to Last
A single, high-quality forged aluminum clamp ensures a secure, twist-proof fit on your handlebars, providing confidence and stability in any situation. Installation is simple, and the angle of the ergonomic wing can be easily adjusted to perfectly match your individual hand position and riding style. Developed under Ergon’s “GreenLab” initiative, these grips represent a commitment to eco-friendly innovation without sacrificing a single ounce of performance or durability, allowing you to invest in a product that is better for you and the planet. This specific version is perfectly tailored for use with Grip Shift® shifting systems.
