Nerve Relief:

• When riding, your hands support much of your upper body weight on the handlebars. Placing a great deal of weight distribution 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 generally close to the skin’s surface.
• Prolonged pressure in this area often causing numbness. The wing grip increases the hand’s resting platform 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.
• The wing design of the GC grips gives the hand more support and specifically puts the wrist into a more ergonomic position. Preventing numbness, tingling and pain.

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.
