Ergon GA-1
I've been looking for an exceptional set of grips for nearly a year.
The old grips were torn, gooey and twisting on the bar.
So many ridebuds told me about the Ergon's, but I didn't want that "paddle-like" design for which Ergon is so well known.
The GA-1's are round,
not eliptical and flattened...Just what I wanted.
But how would they perform??
The included instructions are a wee-bit vague (pictorial form with some poorly translated text).
Also, regarding the lock-on hardware: The included instructions say "hardware facing forward. Yet on their website: "hardware facing backwards"
...a minor point that just might be the user's preference?
But once the concept is understood, the user must align the grips according to the reference markings. Then you can tweak them into your personalized positions.
They are super-compfy and hard. No squish. None whatsoever. It amazes me how such a firm grip can be so comfortable.
Because they are firm/hard, there's excellent control of the bar leading to improved handling of the front wheel and the entire front-end of the bike.
These grips deliver.
10/10
