ERGON BIKE: The rider and the bike should work together as one

Ergonomic Principles

Line of cyclists on mountain bikes

Cycling is one of the few ways to get around where different parts of your body work together with different parts of the bike to make a single unit. Even small changes can have an effect on the body and how well travel works. So, the bicycle should be matched to the body as a whole.

Ergon, designers and manufacturers of comfortable ergonomic grips, saddles and more, apply these ergonomic principles:

1 Support
The design of the product takes on the form of your body and leads to a better distribution of opposing forces. Unpleasant pressure points and related discomforts are avoided.

2 Comfort
The physiological adaptation of ergonomic products to your body makes it exceptionally user-friendly and comfortable.

3 Optimization
Your joint position, range of motion, and overall posture can be optimized. Misalignments and the associated pains will be corrected or prevented.

4 Control
Different materials with specific properties on the various contact points of the bicycle optimize your contact to the bicycle, thus enabling a better control.
