I've been mostly a woods rider, but plan on doing more (nearly all) MX this year. Looking for recommendations on a good quality grip that helps ease the fatigue. I've searched and found some good info.

From what I have found, the Spider M1's appear to stand out as a "Best" category grip. Any other opinions out there? Thanks all! :thumbsup:

I had the Renthal Kevlars and I was amazed at how fast they wore out. I now use the Spider SLX MX grips. They seem to grip well and come in some sweet color options (though color was not a factor in my decision). $14.99 at RM.

+1 for Spider M1s. I was getting pretty bad hand cramps with just about any grips. Put the spiders on, problem solved. Love 'em, and they last a long time

Damn you guys! :thinking: You're making it tough. Looks like (at least for the number that have replied,) the Spiders and Renthal Kevlars are topping the list. Decisions, decisions! I think I may just go with a set of each.

Thanks all for taking the time...I appreciate it! Not going to be ordering for another 10 days or so, so I'll keep checking back. Again, appreciate it guys! :thumbsup:

Another vote for the Spider SLX, the M1 looks like a tempting option.....

There are a couple different Spyder grips. The diamond ones and the new M1. I prefer the Diamond ones as the M1 wears quickly. I'm also interested in trying the Pillow top grips but a buddy of mine who uses fat squishy ProGrips said they were too soft. I can't stand his so i don't know if I would like the Pillow ones.

I too was looking at the pillow tops but am worried about them being too soft with gloves. Haven't heard of the spyders. They look promising? Prices and where to get them??
