Ergon GDH Grips – GravityControl Rubber (MTB / eMTB)

The Ergon GDH grips are built around a simple principle—maximum control with less effort through the hands.

Unlike traditional grips that rely purely on texture, the GDH is a fully engineered contact point. Every zone of the grip is designed with purpose: a cushioned upper surface for impact damping, defined finger zones underneath for control, and integrated inner/outer stops to lock your hands into position.

The result is a noticeably more stable and “connected” feel on the bars. You don’t need to over-grip to stay in control, which directly reduces hand fatigue and arm pump over longer or rougher rides.

The GravityControl rubber compound is Ergon’s softest to date, delivering high levels of grip and damping without collapsing under load. This becomes particularly relevant for eMTB riding, where additional bike weight and speed increase vibration and demand more from your contact points.

In practice, these grips allow you to relax your hands slightly while maintaining control—something that makes a real difference on longer rides and technical terrain.

Key Features

• Ergonomic grip design with defined control zones
• Multi-level surface texture for progressive cushioning and damping
• Aggressive finger zones underneath for maximum control under load
• Integrated inner and outer stops for a locked-in hand position
• GravityControl rubber compound (extra soft, high grip, high damping)
• Single lock-on clamp for secure fit on carbon or alloy bars
• Durable replaceable end plugs

Torque Collective Insight

Grips are one of the most overlooked upgrades on a bike—especially for eMTB riders.

More weight, more speed, and longer rides mean more load through your hands. Standard grips often force you to hold on tighter than you need to, which leads to fatigue and loss of control over time.

The GDH changes that.
It’s not just softer—it’s structured.

You get:

• better control with less effort
• reduced arm pump on longer descents
• a more consistent feel through rough terrain

This is exactly the kind of contact point upgrade that riders feel immediately.

Fit & Sizing

• One diameter (mid-fat ergonomic profile)
• Designed for a defined hand position (less adjustable than traditional grips)
• Best suited to riders who prefer a “locked-in” feel rather than free hand movement

Who It’s For

• Trail, enduro, and eMTB riders
• Riders experiencing hand fatigue or arm pump
• Riders prioritising control and stability through the bars

Who It’s Not For

• Riders who prefer a completely neutral / round grip
• Riders who frequently reposition hands on the bars
• Lightweight XC setups focused purely on minimal weight
