Ergon GA3 Ergonomic Lock-On MTB Grips – Winged Design for Mountain Bike Comfort and Wrist Support, Black, Small

Decided to pay a bit more for this brand item. Made in Germany with durable authentic materials. Selected this version with smaller “paddle” mostly for cosmetic reasons and it looks great. Supportive enough to ease the pressure point. Clamp is sturdy and perfectly fit over the 22mm handlebar. The black color rubber is firm with just enough give. End cap is cool and held snugly into the end of the bar.

Have Ergon GA3 rips on all my flat bar bikes. Most comfortable I've found, good grip with or without gloves, and my hands don't go numb!

I don't know WHAT I would do if I ever had ride w/o these grips. I was getting serious issues with my hands when riding my hardtails on longer rides. I use the GP1 on my hardtail but that would be too much for my FS mountain bike. These looked just right, and it turns out they are. Most MTB riders are not going to need this kind of grip, but my hands get tortured in my work, and a little extra ergonomic comfort really works for mountain biking. Paired with my good gloves, I have no issues with my hands anymore while riding with these grips. Other riders are saying that it has to do with bar/stem height, saddle position, etc., I've been through ALL of that. Everything for "fitting" is putting me in the correct position, this one really comes down to my hands. There's something else I think is important here as well. Often times when mountain biking, you want to have loose/light grip on the bars, and sometimes you need to grip tightly, depending of course on the terrain you're navigating through. When I need a sudden momentary tight grip and more control, these things distribute your strength more evenly. There's is more strength and force in your hand the closer you get away from your fingers and nearer to your palm. If some of that strength gets distributed to your GRIP, you'll distribute that strength as a far better grip on the bars leading to less fatigue. The grip of the pattern and material is superb. I would suggest you ride them with gloves, but I always say MTBing with gloves is a no-brainer anyway, and I have NO slipping issues at all, in any conditions even plowing down over some rough rock garden terrain. The collet mounting screw hasn't loosened or moved at all. There are a lot of high quality pro level grips for MTB that I think are fantastic products, but I wouldn't use anything else due to that extra material extension that I really have to ride with to eliminate fatigue. In the pic' you'll see they even look great on my carbon Stumpjumer with the orange detailed Deity Black Label bars! ~JSV

Very comfortable on the hands, but the end cap falls off easily

Nice hand grips that are very easy to install and adjust the angle with a hex tool. I went with the size suggestion from the other reviews and ordered the One Size, which came as Small (what I wanted). The Small is fantastic for small women’s hands and bigger kids. The winged shape definitely helps with keeping my wrists from dropping. My hands go numb still but my wrists feel so much better compared to how they feel with standard grips. The surface is my only complaint, it’s rather uncomfortable without gloves due to the pattern on it. I’d rather have a flat surface but I understand not everyone likes that. I didn’t want to go with the flat or foam handles because I bikejor and my dog likes to run me into brush sometimes so harder grips are necessary. The grooves do help with keeping sweat off the grips, though. I’ve also crashed a few times on pavement and you can’t even tell. Same with my Ergon seat. 10/10 great company and fantastic products.

Better

So glad I upgraded my grips to these! Nice and squishy but not TOO soft. The channels are great for moving sweat away on the hot summer rides with no gloves. Installation was fairly easy. The end cap plug on the right side for mine keeps popping out part way, it still barely hangs in there but it's annoying to keep jamming it back in. Re-installing the grip might help but a bike mechanic I talked to said I was pretty much stuck with it. BUT that is the only complaint I have. The grips are comfortable, seem to help with hand positioning, and are dealing with my mild abuse very well!

Exactly what I needed. High quality and comfort.

But prone to dirt. Easily cleaned, but they pick dirt just as easily.

Ich habe bereits auf meinem Hardtail die Ergon GS3-L Griffe und bin mit diesen sehr zufrieden, daher fiel auch bei meinem Fully die Wahl auf Griffe dieser Marke. Da ich i.d.R. Touren fahre, war ich mit den ganz runden Griffen, welche standardmäßig montiert waren, nicht wirklich zufrieden, sie bieten zwar guten Halt, aber auf längeren Strecken wird es einfach unbequem, da man diese zu stark umklammert. Die kleine Auflagefläche der GA3 Griffe bringt enorm was, man denkt es gar nicht, wenn man die Griffe das erste mal montiert, aber nach wenigen Kilometern im Wald oder auf Schotter lernt man diese zusätzliche Fläche wirklich zu schätzen. Durch das Abstützen der Handballen hat man eine viel entspanntere Griffhaltung, ohne den Eindruck zu haben, nun weniger Kontrolle zu besitzen. Ich empfinde es sehr angenehm. Der Preis ist zugegeben nicht ganz günstig, man wird sich hier auch etwas den Namen bezahlen lassen. Aber ich persönlich betrachte gute Griffe als sehr wesentlich beim Fahrradfahren. Schmerzende oder taube Hände nehmen seinem sehr schnell die Lust an den Touren. Und man muss beachten, dass diese Griffe unter normalen Umständen mehrere Jahre halten. Insofern bin ich gerne bereit einmalig 10-15 Euro mehr zu bezahlen, das sind für mich keine exorbitant hohen Kosten, für die ich über 2-3 Jahre schmerzende Hände in Kauf nehmen würde. Natürlich summiert sich das, wenn man das bei jedem Bauteil am Fahrrad sagt, aber ich betrachte das gerade bei Griffen und am Sattel als wesentlich, dann spare ich das lieber an anderer Stelle ein. Nachtrag Juli 2019: Mittlerweile habe ich auch bei meinem Hardtail diese Griffe montiert. Diese bieten im Vergleich zu den vorherigen GS3-L Griffen mehr Platz, da die kleinen Hörnchen der GS3-L Griffe dazu führen, dass es für größere Hände etwas beengt wird am Griff. Die GA3 kann ich daher nach wie vor bedenkenlos empfehlen.

ブロンプトンP Lineに装着。純正のエルゴグリップからの付け替え。純正でも快適だったがより軽いものが欲しくなり使ってみたところこちらの方がグリップが細めで手の小さい私には純正よりもフィット感が高く気に入りました。カラーバリエーションも豊富でブロンプトンのカラーカスタマイズにも合わせやすく良い商品だと思います。純正のエルゴグリップよりも手のひらを置くスペース小さくなるので手の大きい人は試してから購入することをおすすめします。

Poignée ergonomique, très bon grippe , confortable et souple à la fois , je suis ravis de ces poignées elles sont de très bonne qualité , un tubes rigide est présent dans la poignée pour éviter qu'elle ne vrille sur elle-même. Je recommande vraiment ces poignée, je les utilise sur mon fatbike pour une utilisation de type enduro.

Easy to install, perfect for mtb, comfortable grip.
