ERGON GP1 BioKork Rohloff/Nexus Grips
Experience the pinnacle of ergonomic design and sustainable innovation with the ERGON GP1 BioKork Rohloff/Nexus grips. Specifically engineered for cyclists using Rohloff or Nexus internal gear hubs, these grips provide an unparalleled solution to common cycling discomforts like hand numbness, wrist pain, and finger fatigue. They are the perfect upgrade for urban commuters, long-distance tourers, and any rider seeking a more comfortable and connected feel with their bicycle.
The revolutionary design is based on Ergon´s acclaimed Performance Comfort series, which is celebrated for its scientific approach to hand health. The signature wing-shaped platform of the GP1 BioKork offers a significantly larger surface area for your palm to rest on. This anatomical shape effectively distributes pressure across the hand, preventing the compression of the sensitive ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel, which are the primary causes of numbness and pain during rides. By promoting a straighter, more natural wrist alignment, these grips allow you to ride longer and in greater comfort, transforming your daily commute or weekend adventure.
Setting a new standard in grip technology, the GP1 BioKork features a unique, naturally derived surface material. This material is not only incredibly pleasant to the touch but also offers inherent antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties, making it an excellent choice for riders with sensitive skin or those who value hygiene. Its natural damping characteristics absorb high-frequency vibrations from the road, further enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue on your hands and arms. This results in a lighter overall grip that doesn´t sacrifice on shock absorption or durability, delivering a premium feel on every journey. This model is precision-crafted for seamless integration with Rohloff and Nexus twist shifters, featuring a full-length grip for the left hand and a shorter grip for the right-hand shifter side.
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.
