GA1
A Technical grip for techincal riding. The GA1 is designed for the demands of freeriding and all mountain use. A cyclindrical grip allows for maximum freedom of movement. The anatomic shape reduces arm pump and protects the sensitive nerves going into the hand. Therefore a greater Level of control is achieved. Four different textures means that grip is provided where needed, and prevents rubbing where it isn‘t. A performance boast for everyone.
Optimized Surface
1: Minimal thumb rub2: Shaped mid zone
3: Rougher texture for increased grip
Optimized Core
4: 'Window' in grip core for improved feel5: Tuned and non-uniform wall thickness for improved damping
The Size Difference.
As hand size is different from person to person, Ergon manufactures the GP, GS and GA ranges in two sizes - Small and Large. This difference is in the diameter of the grip. The reason for this is that a larger hand is better able to grip a larger grip with less stress and effort.
This is the same in reverse for small grip. A smaller hand needs a smaller grip to allow the hand to close around it. Of course, this is all also down to personal preference.
