bar space each side. Only handlebars with 22.2 mm diameter in the grip area may be used. Only handlebars that have been approved by their manufacturer for use with bar ends should be
used and can withstand the required clamping force. Do not use with carbon handlebars. Very thin walled aluminium handlebars should only be used if a reinforcing insert is present, such as

that all functions of the bicycle can be used as normal. A secure fi t can only be guarantied with the use of the correct Ergon
bar end.

Information:
Ergon grips offer pain prevention through
optimized pressure distribution. This is realised
through the 40% larger surface area. This
pressure distribution allows better blood
circulation, which may cause the hands to
appear fl ushed.
The correct position for your Ergon grips is
an individual thing. Repeat steps (3) to (5)
adjusting the angle of the grips in small steps.
The angle maybe different for the left and
right hand. Ride a test course to allow good
comparison.
Should you suffer from pain or numbness in
your hands or forearms despite use of Ergon
grips it may help to try a handlebar with a
different profi le, or rotate your existing one.
If problems persist, it is advisable to check
your position on the bike including frame size,
handlebar height and saddle position with the
help of a professional.
Allergy information:
All Ergon grips are latex free.
