The GDH Team grips demonstrate how effective ergonomics can be for downhill riding. Every detail has been developed to enhance control and speed, with shape, texture, and rubber compounds all optimized for performance. The Ergon design team worked closely with two-time Downhill World Champion Vali Hll and pro riders Troy Brosnan and Fabien Barel to create the pinnacle of downhill-specific grips. All functional zones are 100% purpose-built for the demands of downhill riding while delivering maximum hand relief. From the moment you grip it, you’ll get a locked-in feeling that connects you with your bike. The extra soft GravityControl Rubber compound is made in Germany and SGS tested for harmful substances. The grips feature multi-level cushioning at the top and a maximum finger grip zone at the bottom. Intuitive orientation is provided by inner and outer stops that create a secure locked-in feeling. An aluminum locking clamp and replaceable end plugs ensure durability and easy maintenance.
