Opening up a fresh round of Collective Reward giveaways, we teamed up with Ergon to offer one lucky winner a touch-point bundle that includes an SMC Sport Gel saddle and a pair of lock-on GMS grips. Find details on our latest prize package here\u2026<\/p>\n

With the winners of our fall Collective Rewards worth more than $12,000 announced<\/a> last week and prizes on their way to folks around the globe, we\u2019re starting our spring 2027 giveaways with a bundle of goodies from Ergon. For Collective Reward #259, one lucky winner will take home a set of GMS grips and an SMC Sport Gel saddle in their choice of options. That\u2019s around a $155 value, and as always, members of the Bikepacking Collective<\/a> are automatically entered to win.<\/p>\n

Released this year, Ergon\u2019s GMS grips reimagine the popular GA3 grips with a reshaped mini-wing, a fresh surface texture, and two size options. Miles shared a full review<\/a> in September, praising their pressure distribution, durable rubber compound, and grippy texture, concluding that they feel right at home on all kinds of rides. They\u2019re available in an impressive array of seven colors to suit your unique style. <\/p>\n

Ergon\u2019s longstanding SMC Sport Gel is part of a range of saddles specifically designed to solve long-ride comfort problems for mountain bikers and bikepackers alike. Miles and Emily both own one, and they appreciate the SMC Sport Gel\u2019s modest weight, large contact area, generous padding, and reasonable price point. Head over to Ergon\u2019s site to learn more about the grips<\/a> and saddle in men\u2019s<\/a> and women\u2019s<\/a> models. <\/p>\n
