Stomp Grip Tank pads – as used by 6 times World Superbike
Champion Jonathan Rea
Ever wonder how pro riders can hang so low of their bikes without falling
off, well they have extra traction… not on their tyres but on their fuel tanks.
Stompgrip’s tank grip and traction product line is made up of three product
groups: Bike Specific (customized), Universal and Tank Protectors. Between
these three product groups Stompgrip offers grip for every street bike.
They are vailable in clear or black and offered in multiple traction profiles;
Volcano, Icon, Super Volcano and Quad Plate. Universal products can easily
be “cut-to-fit” if no bike-specific grip is offered. They are custom designed
and injection-moulded specifically for power sports vehicles and are
manufactured with a proprietary plastic blend formulated to wear down like
a tyre and engineered with rounded edges to avoid snags and peeling. Each
piece is hand-cut to preserve the rounded edges. Manufactured with 3M
and Avery adhesives. Made in the U.S.A.
So! What benefits do they offer we hear you ask? They increase overall
control of the vehicle by locking knees into tanks. Improve confidence in
corners by eliminating the risk of slippage. Reduce arm pump by relieving
pressure on wrists. Prevent sliding on the seat under acceleration. Assist in
maintaining a stable body position. Stop riders and passengers from sliding
forward when braking (i.e. no nutcracker experience).
