The GR3 Grip has a four finger composite bar end that's slightly longer than what you'd find on the GR2. And being an Ergon grip, it has a patented wing-shape that offers more support for your hand and wrist than standard round grips. The Ergon design relieves pressure on the Ulnar and Median nerves -- pressure that causes numbness, tingling, or pain. It's no surprise either that the portion of your hand that receives the benefit of the additional surface area is also where many glove manufacturers are placing extra padding these days. Coincidence? We doubt it.

Ergon's naming convention is more simple than it may appear -- models with a 1 in the name don't have bar ends, any with a 2 have a short bar end built into the end of the grip, and anything with a 3 has a full-length bar end. The Ergon GR3 basically uses the GP1 grip, and adds a four-finger composite bar end.

The Ergon GR3 grip is 54mm at its widest (measured front to back) and 132mm long. The difference between small and large is found in the thickness of the grip. Most folks prefer the small, but if you have Paul Bunyon sized mitts, then you may prefer the large. The clamp tightens via a 4mm Allen key that is underneath the bar end and is designed to take not more than 7nm of torque. The left and right grip shapes are mirror images of each other. They come with end plugs and mounting instructions.
