      Comments about Ergon GP1-L Grips - Large:

      This is a wonderful alternative to most handle bar grips out there. I can't believe it took this long for grips designed like these to come out. Specialized has some Body Geometry grips which are a bit ovalized, but I recommend these to everyone. My only gripe is that I've had to tighten them every few months, but it may be because I'm afraid of overtightening them.

      I've had these for over a year on a relatively new bike and have never regretting buying them.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Ergon GP1-L Grips - Large:

        I have used several mt bike grips but these really take the cake away from all the rest-- my hands are not as tired after a ride. I find that since I do not grip as hard the ft end stays on the ground better on steep climbs which I do plenty of and love. In other words they truly help me to have better control of the bike and hence track better. Bottom line---great product which adds power, comfort and control on the trails.

          Comments about Ergon GP1-L Grips - Large:

          I'm loving the thicker feel these grips give to my handlebars. Once tightened, these things just don't slip out of position. I found angling the grips slightly upward gave me the best comfort and hand position. Really helped to relieve the numbness I used to feel with the stock grips on my Trek 4500. For the type of trail riding I do these are wonderful. However, if you do more technical maneuvers and need a full grip all the way around the handlebars then these may not be for you. I would still recommend giving them a try first though.

          Comments about Ergon GP1-L Grips - Large:

          I upgraded my mountain bike grips to the ergon grips. I use my bike for commuting purposes so the ergon grips work great. They are much more comfortable than the regular grips. There is also an ergon grip with a built-in bar end which would seem to offer more hand positions.

            Comments about Ergon GP1-L Grips - Large:

            I have been riding and racing mountain bikes since the late 80s, I have tried alot of different grips, these grips are awesome. I bought these grips at Pedros Fest Last year, and later bought a second pair for the commuting bike. I was having problems with hand numbness on long off road rides. With the extra support and ergo design of these grips, hand pain is no longer a problem. Some reviewers commented that they can grip the bars hard enough for real technical riding situations. I think it depends on your skills and experience and the type of ridding you like to do. These grips work great for me on technical singletrack cross country type riding that I most often do. They may not be the best for downhill or free-ride specific riding, because your pinky and third finger do not wrap all the way around the grip.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              Comments about Ergon GP1-L Grips - Large:

              I bought these hoping they would be a good upgrade to the stock grips on my mountain bike which have been causing discomfort and numbness recently. For my purposes which is very bumpy trail riding they didn't meet my expectations. The idea is the extra area allows you to take stress off the fingers and allow you to put more weight on the palms. This is fine for smooth paved riding where you don't need a strong grip, but on the trails with lots of roots and ups and downs, where I need a firm grip to maintain control most of the time, they just didn't work well and didn't help with lessening discomfort at all. I felt my range of motion in my wrists was diminished and honestly they just felt kinda weird. They also got pretty slippery when wet with sweat. I wouldn't recommend them for serious offroad riding at all, but for road or paved trail riding I can see how they could might add some comfort. On the upside, they were easy to install and didn't slip at all.

              Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
