The GP series is a perfect solution for common wrist pain during cycling. In particular the Ergon GP5 Lock On Grips offer up an ergonomic approach to wrist pain relief with its pure rubber compound and numerous options for hand positions.Further benefits of this grip are the easy to install clamping mechanism and approved back friendly ergonomics. Not approved for carbon handlebars.Available in either a regular grip or Nexus/Rohloff and dual grip twist shifter systems. Choose from either Small or Large sizes.Features:Tested back-friendly.Full size bar end.No more numb fingers.Two sizes, for individualised control:In order to help you maintain perfect control over your bike, your hands should not completely envelop the grip, which is why Ergon offers many grips in two size diameters.The difference refers to the grip width (hand size), meaning a larger hand will have a more positive fit on a thicker grip, while a smaller hand is better fit to a smaller grip. For hand/glove sizes 6.5 to 8.5 we recommend Small, for 8.5 to 10.5 Large usually is better.Locked down for safety:The GP Series clamping system is extremely secure and easy to mount. Each grip is tightened with only one bolt to reliably secure its position and to prevent twisting. Another important safety feature is that Ergon’s aluminium clamps are cold forged and not extruded. Resulting in a much stronger structure.Nerve relief:When riding, your hands support a lot of your upper body weight on the handlebars. Placing high pressure on a relatively small grip area. In many cases this pinches the extremely sensitive ulnar nerve that runs near the base of the palm near the pinky and close to the skin’s surface. Often causing numbness.The wing grip increases the hand’s supporting area by distributing pressure over a wider surface and thereby preventing discomfort.Ergonomic Solution:If your wrist is bent too much for too long, nerves, tendons and blood vessels can become compressed. The result is the carpal tunnel channel is constricted, which could place damage to the median nerve. Long rides and fatigue make it even harder for the rider to maintain a correct and healthy posture.For more Ergon grips and saddles.
