The Ergo-Shape was developed in the laboratory. We were curious to see how the grips would feel in practice on the trail. We admit that they are comfortable to hold with plenty of grip.

The catalogue says: "Developed with the help of enduro movement analyses". Wow - we couldn't help but smile. The enduro hype is making its way into science! Fact is: The "GE 1" with its Ergo-Shape fits comfortably in the hand without corners and edges. The alternating rubber compounds can be felt and do what they are supposed to do. An Allen screw is all that is needed for uncomplicated assembly.


CONCLUSIONElaborately crafted handles in an ergonomic shape. They lie comfortably in the hand with plenty of grip. Available in many colours.
