Developed for touring riders who place importance not only in the best ergonomics for their grips on long tours and but also for their barends. Multi-position grip with oversize integrated barend made from lightweight and stable GF-composite, which also acts as the clamp for the grip. A completely new high precision alu clamping system provides a secure interface. The shape of the grip is identical to the GP1. Its size and shape are ideal for small to medium sized hands (Size S:6.5 – 8.5 particularly good for women)as well as for medium to larger sized hands (Size L: 8.5 – 10.5)). The barend and support platform on the grip can be independently adjusted for the correct angle to allow the best ?t for individual saddle position and riding style.

Strengths:
Very comfortable, and supportive can ride for much longer. Very cool looking and relatively light. Great concept, integrated grip and bar end.
Weaknesses:
Just put them on my bike. Went for one ride around the block and had one of the grips slip and fail. Was not able to get it to stay securely on the bars, it would just rotate no matter how securely i tightened it. I don't know if it is a faulty design or mfg. flaw. I have another ergon type with steel short bar ends and have had no problem at all with them. I hope they can work the bugs out because I certainly want to give them another choice.
