Experience a new level of comfort and sustainability with our 'GP1 Biokork' by Ergon. This highly-rated favourite puts forward a feel of natural cork, elevating comfort and user experience. Weighing only 182g per pair, these grips lighten your ride, enhancing manoeuvrability and control.
Why Biokork? Aside from its lightweight nature, cork is appreciated for being antibacterial and hypoallergenic. This makes the grips not only comfortable but also safe for all users. Moreover, cork's natural damping qualities make it an excellent material for grips, absorbing shocks and reducing ride fatigue during your cycling adventures.
The uniqueness of Biokork does not just reside in its features, but also in its creation process. The cork in our grips is sourced from ecologically sound and certified forests in Portugal, contributing to the preservation of the environment. 40% of the grip is made from this sustainably sourced cork.
Taking the same ecological concern further, the inner core of the grip is reinforced with natural fibre, making up 40% of its mass. Instead of mineral oil, the palm section of the grip is developed with vegetable oil-based gel. This eco-friendly approach is part of Ergon's 'GreenLab' initiative.
With the 'GP1 BioKork', you're not just investing in elevated comfort and lightweight ease, but also in a product that is globally aware and environmentally responsible. Let your cycling rides be a statement of sustainability!
Sustainability is high on the agenda at Ergon. Under the “GreenLab” initiative, packaging is developed from recycled materials, and entire products such as the GP1 BioKork are made from particularly environmentally friendly materials. All parts of the handle are consistently manufactured in an ecologically sustainable manner.
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 aluminum clamps are cold forged and not extruded – resulting in a much stronger structure.
GP Series grips are also available in different versions that are compatible with various types of twist shifters. With standard trigger shifters, both grips have the same length on both sides. The versions for Gripshift®and Dual-Twist shifters have two short grips, while Rohloff@, Nexus®and Singe-Twist shifters require the right-side grip to be shorter to accommodate the shifting mechanism.
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.
If your wrist is bent too much for too long, nerves, tendons and blood vessels are compressed. The result is the carpal tunnel channel is constricted, which could damage the median nerve. Long rides and fatigue make it even harder for the rider to maintain a correct and healthy posture. The wing design of our GP grips gives the hand more support and automatically puts the wrist into a more ergonomic position, preventing numbness, tingling and pain.
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 – Small and Large. 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.
The BioKork version of our successful GP series combines ergonomics, sustainability and a comfortable feel consisting of 40% cork material. The material comes from organic farming in Portugal and meets strict ecological guidelines. In the inner support, 20 percent of the plastic is replaced by grass fibres.
