Ergon GA3 Grip

The GA3 with Miniwing support is based on the well-established and proven design of the MTB-specific GA2 grips. The particular shape of the grips provides you with great comfort and grip, without compromising the freedom of movement. This allows you to have all the control you need to tackle the most demanding of trails with full confidence.

What exactly are the benefits of the wings on the grips?

The longer a ride is, the harder it is for a rider to maintain the ergonomically correct hand position on the bike. As a result riders often bend their wrists too much, stressing nerves, tendons and inhibiting blood circulation. Numbness and pain in your hands are often the undesirable consequences. The GA3 grip optimizes the hand position through the Miniwings and prevents over-bending in your wrist.

Two sizes – for more control

In order to help you maintain perfect control over your bike, your hands should not completely envelop the grip, which is why Ergon offers the GA3 in two size diameters – “Small” and “Large”. The difference refers to the grip width (hand size), meaning a larger hand will have a more positive fit on a thicker grip, while a smaller hand is better fit to a smaller grip. For hand/glove sizes 6.5 to 8.5 we recommend “Small”, for 8.5 to 10.5 “Large” usually is better.

Thoughts from Cyclewerks.

We've long been fans of the Ergon GA3 for bikepacking and long distance mountain biking. They do take a little time to set up the angle perfectly, and you might need to move your levers and shifters to match your hand position on the grip, but once set up they decrease fatigue and increase confort on long hauls. Highly recommended.
