After the successful launch of the GD1 Factory in 2017 and multiple podiums, Ergon have launched the updated GD1 Evo using GravityControl Rubber. It features excellent damping properties, CNC clamps for a secure fit and interchangeable bar end plugs.Thumb Zone Ultra soft damping texture for the thumb areaFingertip Zone Maximum grip for the fingertipsLower Palm Zone (Top) Precise damping properties in the lower palm zone2 grip diameters: Standard for glove size Large/X-Large (8.5-10.5) & Slim for glove sizes Small/Medium (6.5-8.5)Carbon friendly CNC Aluminium clampsInterchangeable end plugs140g per pair (Standard)125g per pair (Slim)Sizing Information:In order to help you maintain perfect control over your bike, your hands should not completely envelop the grip, which is why Ergon offers many grips in two size diameters Small and Large.The difference refers to the grip width (hand size), meaning a larger hand will have a more positive fit on a thicker grip, while a smaller hand is better fit to a smaller grip. For hand/glove sizes 6.5 to 8.5" we recommend Small, for 8.5 to 10.5" Large usually is better. To measure your hand/glove size you need to measure around the largest part of the hand over the knuckle while making a fist, excluding the thumb.
The new gravity-focused grip series GFR1 Factory has been developed and tailored according to the expectations and wishes of Tahnée Seagrave (UK) and her colleague team riders of the Canyon FMD Racing. The Ergon development team always works very closely with athletes and teams, which enables them to design products for the highest demands within their target group and to be used at the very limit. The grip has a slim overall shape for maximum feedback, yet still provides an extremely high level of damping through the ribbed section under the palm. The lower grip zone (finger) is strongly pronounced to keep gripping forces at a minimum when lifting the front wheel. The slim inner stop further assists in finding the right-hand position while still providing free shifter access. The high-strength alloy clamps on the inside keeps the grip from twisting even on carbon bars. The Factory version provides incredible grip and rebound properties. The grip feeling is soft but still super defined and precise.
The new Ergon SM Men saddles are specifically tailored to the features of the male anatomy and optimized for the requirements of mountain biking. With the assistance of the latest scientific studies and intensive prototyping Ergon s interdisciplinary development team consisting of sports scientists, industrial designers, engineers and test riders have come up with a new generation of pressure-relief men s saddles. Relief Inlays: Increased comfort due to OrthoCell-Inlays in the seating area, which help distribute pressure betterLarge-Area Pressure Distribution: Perfect pressure distribution in the sit and pubic bones by means of a flat, even contact area and high-end padding foamsFlat Rear: The narrow, slightly inclining rear with a flat contour and a minimal ramp-up give great freedom of movement on the downhillsFlat contour: Due to the more upright pelvic orientation the saddle surface is flat with great freedom of movementShape: Through its Y-Shape the freedom of movement and legroom are maximized, while at the same time all bone structures are ideally supportedIntegrated Mount: Convenient removable mount for accessories like Topeak saddle bagsThe SM Men saddles effectively avoid discomfort and numbness for most applications in mountain biking for most types of mountain bike riders. The extremely deep and rearward increasing relief channel is complimented by a proper cut-out in the deepest spot. This construction combines all the benefits of a standard cut-out saddle without its drawbacks (often a very stiff shell) producing a particularly high degree of pressure relief of the sensitive perineal area. Exceedingly high pressures often are the cause for discomfort and numbness in the genital area.Shell: Nylon CompositeRails: TiNoxCover: MicrofibrePadding: Orthopaedic AirCell Foam with OrthoCell PadsWeight: 235g (S/M), 245g (M/L)Size guide:Small/Medium: 9-12cm Sit bone widthMedium/Large: 12-16cm Sit bone width
The GE1 Evo Factory Grips benefit from feedback from pro riders of the Enduro World Series. With a super-soft compound and anti-slip finish, they provide lasting comfort and outstanding grip no matter how hard you're pushing.2 grip diameters: Standard for glove size Large/X-Large (8.5-10.5) & Slim for glove sizes Small/Medium (6.5-8.5)Integrated end plugsCarbon friendly CNC Aluminium clampsMaterial: Gravity Control RubberThe aim of the GE1 update was to further increase the grip on the handlebars while further reducing required strength input. The results are more comfort, better control of your bike and an optimised arm position.The texture alignment is slightly adjusted against the hand rotation, intersecting channels in the gripping zone and differently shaped elements increase the grip of the GE1 Evo Factory. The texture update is completed all the way to the edge of the grip itself, affording more room for comfort. The ulnar nerve on the outside of the hand is effectively relieved and numbness is prevented.Ergon really has obsessed over every detail with these grips. In addition to the advanced compound and shape, there s a patent-pending inner construction. This features a forged inner clamp and the inner core is connected to an integrated grip end. The reason Ergon adopted this design, was to increase the surface area for the hand right to the grip s end, thus preventing pressure on the hand's outer nerves. This design also helps to dampen vibrations of sudden shocks and trail feedback.

Ergon SMD2 Comp Bike SaddleDesigned, tailored and perfected by Ergon as a result of an intensive development period with the help of some of the world's best downhill racers, the SMD2 Comp model provides the ultimate saddle feel. It's advantageous for riders who seek additional control when riding on the most challenging terrain at speed, making it perfect for racing.Ergonomically ShapedThe entire saddle and its profiled design follows an ergonomically shaped, tilted saddle orientation that offers the rider complete freedom of movement over and around the bike. Being able to control the bike with the inner leg is very important when riding at speeds over rough terrain and the padding around this saddles key contact areas is the marvel of its design.Clearance at the RearClearance at the rear of the saddle allows for undisrupted tyre clearance and suspension travel. This clearance is also a convenience to the rider when negotiating steep technical descents as it will not restrict movement when adjusting your centre of gravity over and around the rear wheel.Additional Stiffness and GripThe carbon composite shell and the anti-slip seating surface add additional stiffness and grip to the saddle making it ideal for riders who demand the most from their components. The added level of grip and stiffness boosts control, performance and rider confidence when riding through the roughest of terrain.Features: Cover Material: Microfibre, Anti-slip (outer), Carbon composite (shell) Padding: 360° Edge paddingRails' Material: Chromoly (CrMo), 7x7mmUse: Downhill (DH), Freeride (FR)Made for DownhillDeveloped with world-class professionalsDurable and slip-resistantExtra-flat, short rear without edges for better rear tyre clearanceWeight: 215gTechnologies: Downhill Saddle Positioning: The saddle is set very low and with the nose slightly upwards for the downhill riding position. This allows for more freedom of movement and control in technical terrain; especially noticeable when hitting jumps The SMD2 is not suitable for level saddle settingsOne Size Fits All: The saddle is rarely used for sitting in downhill. This saddle however serves in the handling of the bike for seated pedalling, as well as in the air. The SMD2 was developed precisely to meet these needs, which directly results in no need for different saddle widthsBuy Ergon Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
