Anyone got the Ergon GR2?

Ive been wanting to get bar ends for a while mainly to help me on long uphill climbs. However I came across the Ergon's and the design looks really good. However I would still like to do alot trail centre riding such as Coed Y Brenin etc so should I stick with normal grips and get bar ends seperately so i still have maximum grip performance?

Replies much appreciated!

I have slightly older versions with shorter grips at the end, they are good. Reduce sore hands on long rides however I haven't really used them much off road as they are on my hardtails which are mainly dedicated to road duties.

I have some in the garage, used them until recently - very comfy with lots of hand positions without any bits to stick in your hands. They aren't too bulky and much better than normal bar ends but the do add width to your bars, I only changed them after buying my new risers.

very good, i'd go for the stubbie ones, pretty much perfect if you suffer from knackered wrists or sore hands.

Ive used these grips for the last 2 years with no troubles at all. I find them very comfortable and offer me a wide variety of positions for my hands. They have also saved my fingers from some nasty tree bites too on the odd occasion. I've used them at Coed y Brenin and the Marin trail in Betws with no problems at all, they didnt get in the way or hinder my ride.

I use the GX2 which has the same shape barend. It is very good.
