A lot of GNCC racers swear by them. I have only used them for a couple of minutes while riding Jeff Stoess' bike. I really didn't notice anything spectacular about them. I know Jeff won't use anything else. I don't have a problem with my scott grips. I use the smooth type. I can't remember which model they are.

Blisters from Spiders? I've got a set on one of the quads and they feel better to me than any I've tried. Used to I'd constantly get blisters but they're basically a thing of the past w/the Spiders on.

I was thinking about getting the spider A3 model grips they are the ones they are a solid color without the flange on them

I love mine. Even wet they are tacky. My brother in law has some on his MX quad and he likes them too. But they do look diffren than mine. Almost 'gooshier'.

I run the TAG atv grips in the SOFT compound. Very cushony, and comfortable.

WARNING!!!!!: Will wear out fast with aggressive riding.

I have been running spider grips on all 3 of my quads. With them I have less blisters compared to my Renthal grips that I used previously. The really perform well when the riding gets wet and muddy. the only thing I don't like is they wear out faster than my other grips.
