Ergon GE1 Evo Factory (Moss/Oil slick) looks pretty good on my bike. The material feels really good on the hands without gloves. I had no problem riding downhill through Snow Summit. The only problem is the durability, I crashed with these grips and it was slightly scratched up and damaged at the end of the bar. Nothing major, and maybe my crash impacted the grip a lot harder than realized. Still a beautiful set of grips and if this one wears out, I think I will consider replacing them with another set. The durability and PRICE of the grips deducted one star that otherwise is an awesome and recommended grips for enduro and trail.

The new and unique rubber compound, 100% made in Germany, creates previously unknown grip and rebound characteristics. The feel is soft, yet very defined and precise. The GE1 is specifically developed around the demands of gravity and enduro riding. These 2 specific styles of mountain biking have riders gripping the handlebars very wide while the elbows are kept bent. This aggressive riding position dictates the construction of the grip. The result? The grip itself is able to prevent typical issues of arm pump in the arms and hands.
