Does Stompgrip work well?

IL MOSTRO · Oct 20, 2013

I was thinking about this product, but the DP Race seat keeps me planted just fine now.

I'm not a huge fan of sticky stuff that I have to keep reapplying.

Depends. I find under hard braking, it improves a little, but not all that much. It's not a large pad. And if installed correctly, while riding, it is just slightly above the knees when you are riding/braking. It is designed to give you traction when you lock your knee into the side of the tank - which means when you're shifted over and hanging a bit off you lock the opposite knee /into/ the tank. Locking the knee into the tank when done properly is usually raising your calf to wedge the knee into the side of the tank (which is why the stomp grip pad is just a bit higher than where your knee would be while normally riding). The stomp grip then gives you better traction right along the inner thigh above the knee and to the tank.

So yes, it helps when you're hanging off or shifted over. But for braking it may help a little but if properly applied - maybe not. As it should be applied probably right under the ridge of the tank and toward the middle. But that is not necessarily where you're applying pressure while under hard braking. It overlaps a bit but not entirely if that makes sense.

Exactly well said!!! +1199.

I have the Stomp Grip 1199 kit fitted to mine and it's OK on track, but not great. Nowhere near as good at the Stomp Grip kit i fitted on the Daytona. The problem i find it that the pads are quite small compared to the kits thy sell for other bikes and at 5' 9" with a 31" inside leg it's hard for me to lock my knee under the lip on the tank. In fact, its sometimes easier to lock your knee into the pocket below the tank, depends how much you're hanging off. You'll still end up ramming the family jewels into the tank under hard braking though. I don't think it's Stomp Grip's problem, there's just not anywhere to put a large enough pad to be really effective.

Stomp grip is hard on leathers if you're on the track a lot too.

Have Techspec C3's on mine, and like them. Wasn't sure about the black before, but find I like the look now and they definitely improve rider/bike traction. Maybe not so much on some bikes that have a good place to lock into, but with the Pani and it's confluence of curves and edges right where you'd want a nice flat surface area, they do help. More so when hanging off in corners, but also under braking since with the additional friction you don't have to use as much conscious force to lock in.
