The GDH grips demonstrate how effective ergonomics can enhance your downhill riding experience. Every detail of the GDH—shape, texture, and rubber compounds—has been designed to improve control and speed. The Ergon design team collaborated closely with two-time Downhill World Champion Vali Höll as well as pro riders Troy Brosnan and Fabien Barel to create the ultimate downhill-specific grips. Each functional zone is meticulously crafted to meet the demands of downhill riding while providing maximum hand relief. From the moment you grip these handles, you'll feel a secure connection with your bike. The extra-soft GravityControl Rubber compound is made in Germany and has been SGS tested for harmful substances. These grips represent the culmination of over 10 years of Gravity World Cup experience with the GE, GD, and GFR grip series. They meet ergonomic requirements for Gravity MTB grips by providing maximum control, high damping, reducing gripping forces, and decreasing fatigue. The grips feature multi-level cushioning on the top and maximum finger grip zone at the bottom, with intuitive orientation thanks to inner and outer stops that provide a secure locked-in feeling.
