Ergon - Bar Grips Made in Germany
"Ergon products are sophisticated: sophisticated, highly developed, technically mature, refined, ingenious," Ergon CEO Franc Arnold once said. This aptly sums up the Koblenz-based brand's claim. Since it was founded in 2004, the company has developed into one of the leading bicycle ergonomics specialists in Germany and probably worldwide. The fact that the concept of concentrating entirely on ergonomic bicycle components has been well received can also be measured in figures: The two wing grips MP1 and WP1, which were launched on the market in 2004, have now sold over two million units - a proud figure.
The fact that the aforementioned wing grips are still Ergon's bestsellers shows just how deeply rooted Ergon is in the handlebar grip sector. Although Ergon now offers a wide range of saddles, seatposts, backpacks, gloves, handlebar tapes and pedals, bicycle grips are still the so-called core business.
MTB Grips From Ergon - Optimal Handling for Mountain and Touring
One of Ergon's specialties is developing ergonomic mountain bike grips that not only increase comfort, but also optimize handling on MTB, touring and other bikes. On technically demanding descents or long tours, Ergon MTB grips give you precise control while reducing hand fatigue. This promise is based on a combination of design, material and innovative shaping that follows the natural movements of the hand.
In fact, many cyclists report a significant difference in handling and comfort as soon as they switch to Ergon grips. The ergonomic shape provides optimum support for the palm of the hand. In addition, pressure on the ulnar nerve is minimized, reducing numbness and fatigue.
