A lightweight grip for full-on racing. The same lightweight grip body as the GX1 the GX2 features a multi-position carbon bar end (weighing an impressive 34g each). The bar end and grip can be independently adjusted for the correct support angle. The grip has been extensively tested by Team Topeak Ergon on the World Cup circuit and provides the support and control demanded at the hardest races in the World.

Strengths:
High quality, easy to install and comfortable to use for all types of riding. I use the grips both on my SS for XC racing and on my S-Works Stumpy for endurance racing. I have had great success in both areas.
Weaknesses:
I didn't care so much for the size of the grip so I switched to the smaller grip and have enjoyed them more.
Similar Products Used:
I guess any lock on grip and and aftermarket barend?
Bike Setup:
08 S-Works Stumpy with stock group and a 99' Schwinn Homegrown setup SS!
Bottom Line:
If you are looking for a high quality grip and barend combo, this is the setup for you! Light weight and confortable!
