Ergon GX2 Leichtbau Bicycle Handle Bar Grips - Magnesium Grip
A lightweight grip for full-on racing. The same lightweight grip body as the GX1 the GX2 features a multi-position magnesium bar end. The bar end and grip can be independently adjusted for the correct support angle. The grip has been extensively tested by Team Topeak Ergon on the World Cup circuit and provides the support and control demanded at the hardest races in the world.

5 Stars Great Bar ends
I read about these in Outside magazine so decided to buy a pair. I was looking for some short lightweight bar ends. I liked these because they were Magnesium so their light weight wouldn’t add alot of moment arm to my handlebars (and they are much, much cheaper than carbon bar ends). Being short, they don’t catch trees and branches like my old 6 inch long Al ones did.
What I didn’t expect was the comfort that came from the integral grips. They really do a nice job of supporting the palm - so much so I can do away with the gel gloves. I do mostly steep mountain bike riding and the combination of the grips and bar ends is very comfortable and gives me a nice lever to lean on while climbing up hills.
