With specifically placed and textured zones \u2013 such as the texture across the bottom, just for fingertips \u2013the GXR are the result of ERGON\u2019s unique manufacturing processes in Germany. The unique AirCell-Rubber has an exceptional damping thanks to countless micro air pockets (or cells) within its design, which also makes it super light, soft, and GXR has been TU\u0308V certified to be free of for harmful substances.<\/p>\n<h3>Details<\/h3>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<ul>\n<li>MSRP:\u20ac19.95,$24.95<\/li>\n<li>Two sizes:Small(32mm dia.),Large (34mm)<\/li>\n<li>90-grams\/pair(size small)<\/li>\n<li>100% designed, sourced, and produced in Germany<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Westsiders_2022_03_21_Cape-Epic_JV-73.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-286836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Westsiders_2022_03_21_Cape-Epic_JV-73.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Westsiders_2022_03_21_Cape-Epic_JV-73.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Westsiders_2022_03_21_Cape-Epic_JV-73-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Westsiders_2022_03_21_Cape-Epic_JV-73-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Westsiders_2022_03_21_Cape-Epic_JV-73-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>ERGON team riders Elmar Sprink and Peter Schermann already put GXR to task at the toughest mountain bike stage race in the world, the Cape Epic in South Africa.
