I second the Ergon E1 series grips. I put a pair on my MTB commuter after spending two weeks with the basic foam stock grips. Such an improvement. I paid 40.00 for them. As far as ‘Blue Collar’ goes, I know blue collar people with 8000 movie setups in the LR, but a practical car. There is nothing wrong with splurging on your hobby, especially if its a safety or comfort issue.

I have to chime in as these grips are the best thing that I have found to relieve (completely) the wrist and ulnar nerve pains I’ve had on long MB rides and races. A long time ago, I tore the ligaments in my wrist and I can barely bend my hand back, making mountain biking painful. I raced 24 Hrs of Moab solo a few years back on standard grips and the technical nature of the course had shooting pains going up my arm to my shoulder. Not good. I switched over to the Ergon grips (large, with bar ends) a few months ago and have had no pain whatsoever. I just finished Moab solo again a few weeks ago and was amazed at the lack of pain and fatigue that these grips provide. (Actually allowed me to focus on the pain in my legs!) While they are certainly not cheap, they are in my opinion the best value in moutain bike components today. My 2 cents.

I’ve been looking for an ergonomic grip to hopefully reduce the wrist pain I encounter after riding even moderate distances. But I’m reluctant to put out too much money to experiment with something that in the end might not work. As an alternative, I found the Ergofix lock-on grip from BBB, a Dutch company, which can be had for $17 on Amazon. They’re not quite so paddle-shaped as the Ergons, so might be a good all-round grip for a variety of terrain and riding styles, but still look like they might provide similar relief. Anybody had any experience with these?

Michael: Ergon grips come in two different diameters/sizes that fit a wide range of hands. Perhaps what your friend was referring to was the shape of the “paddle” type Ergon grips. Ergon has addressed that with the E-1 series, which is a rounder grip made for more extreme conditions and folks into power moves like wheelies, lunges, etc. They are also available in two sizes.

I seriously doubt that you couldn’t wrap your hands around at least the small size of Ergon grips unless your hands are extremely small. Ergon has a race team with several top women on it that have some pretty small hands and still can use the grips.

A friend told me that Ergons aren’t any good on a mountain bike because they’re too fat to wrap your hands around. Is that true?

I bought a pair when I upgraded my handlebars. I was hesitant w/the price, but numbing was totally bumming. I saw them on either Suergo or Excel. The logic of the design seemed undeniable. I will never go back to tradional grips. No numbness now, killer control on downhills )w/ the increase in surface area. These will hopefully be the standard of the future. How many people still ride a not split seat. I just rode the Death Ride on my split seat and Ergon grips; No numbness anywhere, just soreness. You must ask yourself, “What is the price you’re willing to pay for the quality of your life and the things you do?”

Oh, and I am amazed at the marketing tactics of those boys at Ergon. They are really using the blogosphere to push their product…. I see a lot of blogging MTBers are running these grips and writing about them. Pretty ingenious since its free advertising for Ergon.
