The Ergon GP1 Superlight grip is a lighter iteration of the GP1. Ergon did the hard designing and molding work with the original GP1. Now they’re just nudging the limits a bit by changing the rubber to soft Kraton rubber and swapping out the aluminum clamp for a carbon clamp.

Like the GP1 Carbon Superlight, the Ergon GR2 Carbon Superlight grips are an evolution of the GR2. The rubber has been replaced with soft Kraton rubber which is both super sticky and dampens vibrations. the magnesium bar end has been replaced with a carbon bar end -- a bar end that... read more

Taking the GR2 Magnesium grip up a notch is the Ergon GR2 Carbon grip.

Ergon, the maker of the Ergon GX2, seems like it could be someone's name. Like Ergon Schiele. But it's more appropriately a shortening of ergonomics. Regardless, the Ergon GX2 is a perfect application of ergonomics, which is, according to Random House Webster's College Dictionary,... read more

Stepping up from the Ergon GC2 is the Ergon GR2 Magnesium grip. We hope you've been paying attention to Ergon's naming convention -- anything with a 2 at the end has a bar end built into the end of the grip, anything with a 1 does not.
