DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Stompgrip Vulcano is the original tank traction pad — shaped around the unmistakable Caldera profile with a short peak that locks you to the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 whether you are threading through trackday traffic or threading through morning commute bends. Available in transparent, black and hybrid finishes, these pads bring both purposeful aesthetics and genuine performance to the 2017-2023 GSX-R 1000.
Key Features
- Vulcano design with short-peak, Caldera-profile grip surface for aggressive, confident body positioning on road and track
- Increased rider-to-machine contact reduces wrist and arm fatigue under hard braking and acceleration
- Enhanced cornering stability through improved leg and knee grip against the tank
- Transparent option preserves your paintwork or custom wrap; black option emphasises the GSX-R's sport silhouette
- Premium 3M adhesive backing holds the pads firmly in place and leaves no residue on removal
- Precision die-cut fitment designed specifically for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2017-2023)
Design, Finish and Heritage
Stompgrip invented the tank traction pad category, and the Vulcano line represents the brand's most refined expression of that original vision. The Caldera-profile surface — named after the volcanic crater formation that inspired it — creates a series of closely spaced peaks that bite into your riding kit at every lean angle. The short-peak geometry keeps the grip aggressive without snagging, so transitions between sides remain fluid even at the limit.
The three finish options each tell a different story. Transparent lets the GSX-R's factory livery or aftermarket wrap breathe through the pad as though it were barely there, making it the purest choice for owners who have invested in a bespoke paint scheme. The black variant leans into the GSX-R's race-bred character, adding a purposeful dark accent to the upper tank area. Hybrid combines elements of both textures, offering a visual contrast that suits bikes finished in lighter or two-tone schemes.
Performance and Rider Benefit
Good tank grip is one of those overlooked upgrades that transforms how a motorcycle feels from the first corner. When your knees and thighs anchor against the Vulcano surface, your upper body relaxes — weight transfers off the handlebars, steering becomes lighter, and the front tyre gets cleaner feedback. Under hard deceleration, you brace against the tank rather than the bars, protecting your wrists over a long stint. The same principle applies to drive out of corners: planted legs let you focus on throttle delivery rather than staying put on the seat.
The pads are equally suited to street use, where varying road surfaces and unexpected weight transfers make rider stability just as relevant as on track. Stompgrip markets these for streetbikes, dirtbikes and ATVs — the Vulcano's credentials extend well beyond pure circuit work.
Fitment and Compatibility
These pads are precision cut to fit the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 for model years 2017 through 2023. No trimming or modification is required. Installation uses the pre-applied 3M adhesive: clean the tank surface thoroughly, peel, position and press. Removal is equally straightforward and leaves the tank finish intact.
