My hands have been wrapped firmly around Ergon for a good while now and I don’t see that ever changing. Here’s the top five reasons why they are the best grips on the market.

1. They are the most comfortable - Before Ergon I thought grips were grips. They either had a lot of padding or didn’t. Now that I’ve ridden with Ergon I realize I was so very wrong. I don’t get near the ache or numbness that I would feel on long rides.
2. They are the most comfortable, even when installed incorrectly - Here’s a quote from a conversation between Nat Ross (endurance racer) and Jeff Kerkove (Ergon pimp and endurance racer):Jeff: “Dude, your Ergon’s are on up side down.”Nat: “Are they? But they are so comfy that way.”Jeff: “Trust me. Switch them around to feel true hand nirvana.”
3. Different options for different rides - Do you ride long gravel grinders? Their grip with the support platform are for you.Do you ride more intense singletrack where you need the maximum grip? Then go with the Enduro (that’s what I ride).A grip for every situation.
4. Clamp-on - I won’t ride any kind of grip that doesn’t come as a clamp-on. The slide-on grips never stay completely still and shift around… especially when wet. I love clamp-on and Ergon does it right.
5. You can get them in green - … if you know the right people. They sell in black but the green is their “team” color. But I’ve seen these around and if you look under the right rocks you may be able to get your hands on a set as well.

There you have it… the top five reasons why Ergon grips are the best. Now go buy a pair and make your hands happy on your next ride.
