The SECRET World Of MTB Product Testing | Ergon Factory Tour

Grips are often overlooked when thinking about bike setup. But grips are one of your main points of contact with your bike. Without them, holding on down rowdy sections or keeping comfortable on long rides would be near impossible. Ergon knows this and always tries to create the perfect grips for every scenario. In this video, Owen heads over to the Ergon research facility to see what it takes to make a World Cup winning grip!
