My hands numb up no matter what bike I ride and I have a bunch of them. I can all but stop it by relaxing my neck, shrugging my shoulders from time to time and taking each hand off the bar for a few seconds every once in a while. I got ergonomic grips which help a lot as well. Try to make sure you're not tense through the neck, shoulders, and arms. Relax a bit and it helps a lot. I used to really lock my arms and grip the handlebars tightly. Catch myself doing it sometimes still.
Fortunately when my hands go numb I can get off the handlebars, shake once and get all feeling back quickly.
