Ergonomics for the hands: Comfort and control with Ergon handlebar grips
Hands and wrists: A sensitive contact point
For Ergon, it is clear that the hands are a central contact point when cycling. A large part of the upper body weight is concentrated on a small area, which can lead to fatigue and discomfort, especially on longer rides. The wrist, in particular, is prone to problems as a bottleneck: as a complex part of the body, many nerve tracts run through the wrist. In the case of unfavorable hand position or excessive bending, tendons, nerves and blood vessels are further constricted. Numb hands, tingling or numbness are often the result. This is not only uncomfortable, but can also negatively affect grip and handlebar control.
The Ergon solution: Ergonomic grips for more comfort
Ergon offers an effective solution to these problems: ergonomic winged grips. The increased contact surface distributes pressure more evenly, thus protecting the nerves – especially the ulnar and median nerves – and avoiding discomfort. Thanks to the individual adjustment options of Ergon grips, the angle can be optimally adapted to prevent bending of the wrists. Ergon grips combine different textures to provide optimal comfort in the finger and thumb areas as well as on the palm.
When it comes to MTB grips, Ergon focuses on grip, damping and function: strategic structures, soft, non-slip material and easy installation ensure maximum comfort and riding fun on the trails.
For road bikes and gravel bikes, Ergon handlebar tape can be crucial. Ergon's special damping properties effectively absorb shocks and vibrations, reducing the strain on hands and wrists. Their grippy surface structures ensure a secure hold, even in wet conditions or on long rides. In addition, they are durable and easy to install, making them a practical solution for comfort and control on the handlebars.
But the correct seating position is also crucial – a rider and their bike can only form a harmonious unit if all components are optimally matched to each other.
With Ergon's ergonomic handlebars, cycling becomes more comfortable and pain-free – for optimal comfort and healthy hands on every ride.
