Ergon

GR2 Biokork Grip - 2011

The extra-supportive Ergon GR2 Biokork Grips are hugely popular for a reason: they're super comfortable. The "wings" beneath them support the palm and wrist in a more natural position while also distributing your weight more evenly across the entire hand, rather than concentrating it on the ulnar nerve as most round grips do, which often leads to pain and numbness. The bar-end extensions on the outside of the grips help you get extra leverage on steep climbs, and they also provide alternative hand positions to help prevent positional fatigue. The Biokork compound from which the grips are made is a proprietary organic material sourced from natural, tree-grown cork.
