Fedorow, Head Trainer at So Ca MX Training wrote: “In my many years as a motocross trainer, I can without a doubt,
point to arm-pump as the #1 problem that plagues riders. While there are many theories on how to relieve this problem, I’ve
found that the grips used by the rider make a huge difference and are ironically the most overlooked. Out of all the grips
we tried and tested, the Spider SLX Slimline has proven to work the best. Not only does it reduce vibration, but the tacky
rubber compound and durability make this grip superior to any other grip on the market. I highly recommend to all my students
and to any who complain of arm pump, to try Spider’s SLX Slim Grips.”
Racer Perry Pritchard says “2
years ago I had a very bad crash while road racing, which left my clutch hand mangled. After all the surgeries and rehab my
hand has still been a problem when riding at an intense level. I used the Spider Grips in the Phoenix
race and frankly, I am totally impressed. I ran one stock grip and one Spider Grip; the stock grip gave my hand a workout,
but the side with the Spider Grip did not even get tired. So I switched the grips around and the hand and forearm that had
the Spider Grip on it did not get pumped. But the side that used the stock grip did in fact get bad, bad pump. Now I am a
convinced user of Spider Grips, I can’t believe the outcome. Thank you for helping me to find a solution for my damaged
hand.”
"With other grips I found my hands going numb from clenching the bars
and the bike vibrations but with SpiderGrips I was able to ride longer and harder."
"Thanks SpiderGrips",

While Chris Haines of the Chris Haines Motorcycle Adventure
Company was testing a set of Spider grips on a 1000 mile ride from Ensenada to Cabo San Lucas, one of his customers developed severe
blisters early on in the ride. Chris removed the test grips from his own motorcycle and installed them on the bike his customer
was riding. Now all of Chris Haines’ Motorcycle Adventure Company motorcycles and quads are equipped with Spider Grips.
Spider Grips are the best grips I have ever used! I even got GNCC pros Bill Ballance
and Johnny G to switch to them. They both couldn't believe how much better they were than what they were using! Jeff@TheQuadShop

Cycle News Project Bike 2002 is Spider Equipped
"The most inexpensive product put on the bike was the Spider grips - and they're one of the best investments of
the bunch. Serfas has, for a long time, made bicycle grips and related products, but they recently
developed the Spider Grips, which are probably the most innovative grips seen or used in a long, long time - maybe ever.
I don't want to get into the technology involved in the grip too much, so let's just say that the
tackiness and feel of these grips allow me to sort of just place my hand on the bars, instead of holding on with a death grip.
Since I'm putting less energy into holding on, arm pump is improved a ton. Also, they seem to isolate
vibration much better than any grip I've ever used. Definitely check out these grips." (Cycle
News April 17, 2002)

There's nothing worse than the feeling you get when your hands slip off of wet grips
while you're flying down the trail on your quad...These thumb throttle-friendly Spider ATV grips from Serfas are designed
to make sure that never happens (June 2002)
Dirt Rider Magazine
Look in the "27 Hot New Products" section of the June 2002 issue for Spider M1 Grips.
"Not just another grip, these are engineered to absorb vibrations and remain tacky so you can hang on with less fatigue."
Dirt Wheels Magazine
See Spider Grips in the Hot Stuff section of the July issue of Dirt Wheels. "Spider
wants to change the way you think about grips... The grips feature a soft, tacky, diamond pattern that is said to provide
excelent control even in water or mud."
MXoffroad.com Baja Torture Test
"The Diamond Gel design in the center of the grips, does a great job of absorbing impacts
as well as vibration." (Click on the MX off-road.com link to see the complete May 2002 review of Spider Grips)
Dirt Wheels Magazine
August 2002 Product Evaluation
Spider claims
their Diamond Web, Dual Density design will shed water, lessen vibration and, most of all, reduce fatigue. To see if the new
Spider grips are as good as they sound, we tried a few sets on some test machines. First a
set was installed on a Polaris Sportsman that we use to trail ride and move things around on daily. Then a set was slipped
on our duner Banshee that is equipped with a twist throttle, and the final pair went on our Meyer Racing pit scooter.
All three sets mounted up solid with a little dab of grip glue and the MX style twist throttle, grips
even had safety wire grooves so we wired'em up for a secure hold. The grips give a comfortable hold and perform as they claim.
Vibration was reduced on the scooter, water drenchings on the 4X4 were made without problems and overall
comfort on all machines was pleasant. (Dirt Wheels Magazine August 2002)

Speed Tech's Modified Banshee is Spider Equipped
"Super
tacky Spider grips replaced the stock Yamaha hand grips to offer a much easier way to hold on to our revamped sand sled."
(August 2002)
Racer X Magazine
Diamond Spider Grips
The last thing anyone
wants to do when they see a spider is grab one and squeeze it, which makes the idea of calling a set of grips the Spider Grips
pretty strange. But that's the key to these grips, the Spider M1 Dual Density, ...is designed
to be so comfortable that you'll use them no matter what they are called. They feature a cool Dual Density rubber compound
that absorbs vibration. This pattented design utilizes two different rubber compounds laid
on top of each other, and the different vibrating frequencies of each one cancels each other out, significantly reducing vibration.
The grips also feature a soft, diamond-pattern design, an idea borrowed from bicycle grips,
to provide a wide contact patch for the rider's hands, so you get better grip and less fatigue. Get over your arachnophobia.
