Ergon are a German based company, lending their name from the term ergonomic, meaning to work naturally around the human body. They have taken that theory and put it into practice with their comfortable products. I had recently been suffering a tad from hand-pump during racing, that classic pain in your hand muscles, which can be caused by any number of things. It could be that the forks are set up wrong, bars or levers are in the wrong position, gripping too tight, not relaxing, not breathing correctly or just plain incorrect grips. Well, these Ergon GE1 grips are supposed to be designed to decrease the amount of hand pump, due to the way they are shaped better for the gripping hand. They feel a lot more fitted and with their shape it seems impossible to let the hand turn around on the grip.
