 | Ergon MP1 Grip (2005) | | | Excerpt from the Ergon website:
When riding a bike with a round grip, points of very high pressure are concentrated in areas the hand cannot withstand for extended periods... The only way to deal with pressure is to distribute it over a larger surface and to eliminate any peaks in pressure. The ergon team achieved the perfect grip by increasing the surface area by 40% over traditional round grips. Not stopping there the designers of the ergon grip developed the optimum anatomical shape too, where 100% of the surface contacts the palm providing the lowest measurable pressure readings on the hand and ulnar nerve. All this adds up to elimination of pain and numbness of the fingers and hands and a more comfortable ride for you.
Problems with wrists (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)... eliminated: In a natural, relaxed position the lower arm and the hand (the wrist as a connection) should be in line. While in a riding position it is easy to rotate the hand to where a sharp angle develops between the hand and arm. The median nerve, which is the main nerve located inside the wrist, can easily become pinched, irritated and inflamed making riding painful. To keep the wrist and hand in line while riding, the ergon grip has an anatomical shape with built in correction (similar to orthopedic insoles) to keep the wrists and hands in line. With the ergon grip, the advanced shape guides you into the correct position for a comfortable pain free ride!
