Maximum Control – Ultimate Speed
The New Ergon GDH Team, Already a Two-Time DH World Champ
The Ergon GDH Team is the ultimate example of how effective ergonomics can be in a downhill grip. Every detail of the GDH Team – shape, density, texture, rubber – has been developed to provide more control and better grip. Each zone of the GDH Team is tailored to World Cup DH use requirements and offers maximum hand relief.
From the first touch, you’ll feel the locked-in feeling, allowing the rider to become one with their bike and thus convey precision, safety, and control. The grip with its extra soft GravityControl Rubber compound is Made in Germany and SGS certified.
The GDH Team manages the balancing act of offering the rider maximum control and optimum damping to stave off fatigue, even on the roughest of runs. The silhouette of the GDH Team follows the contours of a rider’s hand in an aggressive riding position and accounts for the gripping forces endured during a downhill race, while the grip is also teeming with ergonomic features and sport-specific details.
Multidirectional cushioning
Multi-directional texture blocks provide progressive cushioning on top of the grip, resulting in an unrivaled amount of control. The interlocking texture design prevents it from collapsing under pressure, enabling a progressive cushioning that is pleasantly soft at first without giving way under heavier impacts and G-outs. The asymmetrical design also provides additional relief with more rubber on the top of the grip.
Finger boxes for maximum grip
The perfectly pronounced finger grip zone on the underside of the grip with four individual finger boxes and pronounced ridges running parallel to the handlebar creates that “locked-in” feeling and ensures optimum handling, even during the fastest maneuvers.
Pronounced inner and outer stops
The outer stop of the GDH Team, ergonomically integrated into the end of the grip, generates a slight counter-pressure even in the constantly changing conditions of gravity use. The inner stop is a 2/3rds flange that helps as an intuitive orientation aid for the rider and is designed for an unencumbered operation of the shift and brake levers.
Extra-soft rubber compound
The GravityControl rubber compound used in the GDH Team grip is our softest rubber compound to date. GravityControl rubber provides incredible damping for a consistent feel and cushion.
