TechSpec's flag ship tank grip material, Snake Skin, has over twenty years of material development. It's not easy bonding adhesive to rubber. TechSpec's, Motorcycle Tank Grips were developed to improve body, bike control and increase riders comfort. Gripping your motorcycle between your knees or thighs improves overall control of your ride by better securing your body weight and seat position under the forces of braking, cornering and acceleration while also relieving pressure from your wrists, elbows, shoulders and lower back giving you increased control and a more comfortable, safer ride. Snake Skin is a thin, .125" medium durometer "rubber" material that offers a secure, comfortable grip, durable protection and a clean stock look. Custom designed for over 250 motorcycles, used by multiple GP and Moto America racers plus riding schools
