D3O's Impact Additive material has been a bit of a game-changer for mountain biking body armor, shoe insoles, and other impact-absorbing requirements thanks to the material's non-Newtonian principles, which causes the flexible material to harden when forces are applied to it.
D3O’s Material Science and Innovation Lab has been busy cooking up a new anti-vibration compound called GRIP. Similar vibration-absorbing D3O materials have been used in Formula 1 car chassis and the NASA Valkyrie robot, now ODI has partnered with D3O to use the GRIP compound in its new Vanquish lock-on mountain bike grips.
