Isolated Secondary Layer - To take advantage of the features of softer polymers, the Spider Grips design team placed a second layer on the grip. This created a boundary layer in the middle of the grip to reflect and dissipate vibration from the innermost layer. The softer outer layer also reflects and absorbs vibration, and it is completely separate from the motorcycle handlebar. This isolated layer of polymer seriously reduces the vibration making it to the rider's hand. The Spider Grip was designed to be the "quietest" motorcycle grip on the market. Multi-faceted Surface Area - After taking a good hard look at classic motorcycle grips, the Spider Grip design team realized that the 25-year-old waffle grip was, well, 25 years old. They considered many different designs before settling on a shape based on the inside of a cupped hand. This multi-facted vario shape is very comfortable and without ribs the riders got fewer blisters. Another benefit of the vario pattern is that it offers maximum contact area. This gives more rider control, and combined with the soft polymer that makes the Spider Grip sticky, it is easier to ride with a lighter touch. The less a rider uses "Death Grip", the longer he can ride without the dreaded arm-pump.

Spider's Original M1 and the new slimmer SLX give the off road rider two excellent choices for reducing vibration and increasing comfort and endurance.
