Ergon Grips, Saddles & Accessories at 3 Peaks Cycles

Ergon is a German‑based cycling components brand, founded in 2003 in Koblenz, that focuses on ergonomic design to enhance comfort, control and performance for cyclists. The company was created out of a desire to address common problems cyclists face — such as discomfort, pressure points or fatigue — by carefully designing parts that match human anatomy and respond to the real demands of riding.

What makes Ergon stand out is its emphasis on the “contact points” between rider and bike: grips, saddles and pedals. For example, their ergonomic handlebar grips (starting with the landmark model released in 2004) are carefully shaped to distribute pressure more evenly across the hand and reduce stress on nerves — which helps prevent numbness or hand fatigue, especially on long rides or rough terrain. Their saddles are similarly engineered: often gender‑specific and designed with thoughtful padding, cut‑outs, shape and surface materials to improve support and relieve pressure, making rides more comfortable for commuters, tourers, MTB‑riders or long‑distance cyclists.

Beyond grips and saddles, Ergon offers a wider range of ergonomic accessories — including pedals, backpack systems, handlebar‑tape/handlebar‑grip varieties for different disciplines (mountain biking, touring, gravel, urban commuting), and fittings to match riding style and body ergonomics. They also emphasise quality and sustainability: many of their products are developed and manufactured in Germany, using carefully sourced materials and processes aimed at minimal waste and environmental care.
