Doesn’t the Dr. Grip bring back memories?
For some reason, the upperclassmen at my cram school who used these always looked so cool.
The reason I brought up the "Dr." is that I wanted to introduce Ergon grips, which are designed based on ergonomics.
They’re said to reduce the strain on your hands, whatever you’re doing. Truly, a "doctor."
I wonder what kind of prescription they have for us?
For instance, they’re full of clever features: the markings on the clamp allow for precise angle adjustments, and the thickness varies depending on the section of the grip. Ergon is impressive.
While writing this, I started wondering—honestly, how do you all choose your grips?
If it’s from a reliable manufacturer, I think most people ultimately choose based on color. I know I do. They say you should use high-quality items for the parts that come into contact with your body.
ERGON grips fit the bill exactly. Great quality and great colors. The color variations in their newly released series, in particular, are very nice. Let’s take a look at what kind of colors they are.
First up is the GE1 EVO.
【GE1 EVO】
Color: Deep Moss, Black, Yellow Mellow
Length: 136mm
Weight: 110g/pair
Price: ¥4,300 (tax excluded)
The GE1 EVO features a non-slip grip pattern and a soft rubber material. Deep Moss is a relatively subdued color, making it easy to match with a commuter bike, wouldn't you say?
Next is the GA2.
【GA2】
Color: Purple, Yellow, Nightride Blue, Berry
Length: 136mm
Weight: 110g/pair
Price: ¥3,700 (tax excluded)
The GA2 is an all-mountain grip with rubber thickness and patterns that change intricately depending on the area.
The Berry color in the photo provides an accent to the bike without ruining its calm vibe.
Colors that match your bike and a shape that prevents fatigue—there's really nothing to complain about, right?
Actually, Ergon also offers this.
A collaborative model with QUOC, known for their leather cycling shoes.
【GP1 Bioleder】
Color: Brown/Silver Clamp, Black/Black Clamp
Length: 133mm
Weight: 215g/pair
Price: ¥10,800 (tax excluded)
The more you use them, the more they conform to your grip, and the deeper the color becomes.
That’s the beauty of leather; it matches both understated bikes and flashy ones alike.
Why not enjoy the aging process and savor the feeling of creating your own original bike?
Please come by the shop to squeeze them for yourself and experience how good they are.
Please be aware that these are definitely not nunchucks.
