Ergon

We create German Innovation.

100% German designed and engineered. The Ergon development team consists specialists in different fields. There are bike experts, racers, sports scientists, physicians, ergonomics experts, and engineers. It is a comprehensive team. In terms of bicycle industry history, there has never been a product spectrum with as much effort placed on the development as with Ergon products. In all the small details, Ergon makes the difference.

The performance of Ergon products is tested in scientific laboratories, on the test rigs of the technical institutes, and with sweat and tears in everyday use or under extreme race conditions. The cycling media, international design award, and the hardest race conditions in the world confirm that Ergon products are at the cutting edge.

Ergon grips, pedals and saddles are an ideal addition to your electric bike.

 

Ergonomics of gripping

The hand

Many recreational and professional cyclists know the problem when the hands fall asleep or begin to tingle. The hand is a very complex and sensitive part of the body, a lot of nerves run through the wrist, which is a bottleneck and thus a problem zone. Due to the low fat and muscle, the hand is less protected and thus vulnerable to pressure load.

Why do I get hand pain?

The hands bolster a large part of the upper body weight onto the handlebars. Thus there is constant and high pressure onto a small area causing nerves to be irritated. To make matters worse, many cyclists bend their wrists too much. The result is sensory loss, tingling, numbness or abnormal sensations in the little finger and ring finger. In extreme cases, even the grasping function of all fingers is limited.

What can I do to combat hand pain?

Hand pressure must be distributed on a wider scale. Through a larger contact area of the grip, the forces are distributed better and the nerves are not irritated. A rider who has these problems should opt for an ergonomic wing grip like one form Ergon's GP range. Through the use of a screw clamp, Ergon grips can be fixed to a custom and individual angle on the handlebar. The result, the wrist is actively prevented from kinking of falling downward.

One should also pay attention to the seating position, since a poorly adjusted bicycle also has negative effects on the body.

 

 

Saddle Ergonomics

The sitting area

When cycling, most of your body weight rests on the relatively small saddle surface. The saddle contact area is one of the most sensitive regions of the body. This often leads to sitting problems such as numbness in the genital area.

Why do I get sitting discomfort?

The perineal and genital area at the buttocks is pressure sensitive. If the body weight is not evenly distributed on the less sensitive buttock structures, such as the sit bones, pressure points occur, which can lead to uncomfortable sitting problems depending on the saddle position and ride duration. Nerves compressed between the pelvic bones and the saddle lead to numbness and discomfort, with the pudendal nerve playing a particularly important role.

What can I do about saddle pain?

For a healthy distribution of your body weight on the saddle, the partnership of sit bone width and upper body angle should harmonize. The more the pelvis tilts forward, the narrower the distance between the sit bones. Accordingly, the correct width of the saddle must be chosen. There should be no high pressure in the perineal and genital area so that nerves and blood vessels are too compressed. Relief features such as a relief channel or even – in women’s saddles – a relief cut out provide help here.

 

Pedal Ergonomics

The foot

The human foot consists of 26 bones, which are connected by joints, ligaments, and muscles, forming a complex structure. Unlike walking, where the entire surface of the foot is involved in the movement, most of the power during cycling is transmitted through the forefoot. Due to the small surface area and relatively long duration of stress, the forefoot is often so stressed that nerves and blood vessels can be compressed. 

Why do I get foot pain?

A too small pedal surface and/or too soft soles of cycling shoes, especially in combination with too tight lacing of the shoes, can lead to excessive pressure on the midfoot and ball of the foot. This, as well as excessive pronation of the foot, can cause the arch of the foot to collapse – important tendons and nerves can be compressed. This results in tingling in the toes or even numbness in the entire foot. In extreme cases, and if the initial problems are not sufficiently addressed, inflammation cannot be ruled out.
