Superlight racing grips with slimmer wing than on the GP and GR series. Integrated full carbon fiber multiposition bar end, 1-bolt bar attachment
Medium wide, ergonomic grip shape prevents numbness and fatigue by supporting more of the palm and reducing pressure on the ulnar nerve. Unisex grips, one size fits all.

Strengths:
Once set-up the grip is very comfortable for riding 3+ hours.
Weaknesses:
The bar-end doesn't work for me. I have medium hands and it the top curve of the bar-end sticks into the palm.

Cane Creek bar ends with Oury grips
Bottom Line:
As I really like the grip portion of the GX-2, I replaced them with the GX-1 as the bar ends did not work at all for me

Strengths:
Looks good, the extra area in the grip is great because you can rest your palm in there.
Weaknesses:
pricy
Bike Setup:
Turner FLUX
Bottom Line:
Excellent product, I really like the extra "lip" where you can rest your palm in. It does make a big difference in a long ride. Beware: go with Large size, the Small size is way too small. The large size is the same size as other normal grip out there. I made the mistake of ordering the Small size, and it is way too small for normal hand.

Strengths:
Great Comfort, ideal bar end size and shape...ERGON is good with customer support...worth the $$
Weaknesses:
Rare flash between the two clamping points on my right bar end, this made it impossible to clamp securely. Ergon is great...due to this inability to clamp, the bolt was stripped as well...Ergon sent me replacement parts free of charge and were very helpful and intuitive over the phone with me and LBS crew trying to resolve the said issues...
Bike Setup:
'08 GF Cobia 29er, Ergon GX2
Bottom Line:
I have f#$%ed my wrists completely...both have broken, dislocated bones and torn and ripped cartilage and tendons. These grips help with comfort and efficiency immensely! Plus their really light weight considering what it adds...won't ride with any other style grip...worth investing in for comfort and functionality.

Strengths:
Nice product right down to the packaging. Good instructions.
Got these at cost from the shop I work at. They are nice but not $110 nice. Was hoping to alleviate the numbness in my right hand but still no dice. Looks badass and barends are just the right size and shape. Nice texture on the grips and underside also. Recommended torque was 7nm but max on my FSA K-Force bar was 3.9nm, I put them at 5nm and they don't budge.

A very comfortable grip. I have used the GC2 for some time but wanted something lighter. This is the lightest Ergon grip with carbon bar ends. Definitely worth waiting for.
