Stompgrip Vulcano Traction Pads KTM RC8/R 1190 (2008-2011) – Part No. 55-10-0058

If you want more control from your KTM RC8/R 1190 without invasive modifications, the Stompgrip Vulcano Traction Pads are one of the most practical upgrades you can make. Designed specifically for the RC8/R 1190 (2008-2011), these pads deliver aggressive, confidence-inspiring grip through Stompgrip's signature Vulcano profile — a short peak paired with a Caldera surface pattern — giving you a noticeably firmer connection to the bike in everyday riding and on track alike.

Key Features

• Vulcano design with short peak and Caldera surface profile for aggressive, consistent grip in all conditions
• Improved stability through corners and under hard braking and acceleration, reducing rider fatigue over longer stints
• Reduced strain on wrists and forearms — your legs do the work so your arms can stay relaxed on the bars
• Tank protection against environmental exposure, abrasion and incidental damage
• Available in black or clear: the transparent version keeps your paint or wrap fully visible, the black version sharpens the RC8's aggressive visual line
• Bonded with premium 3M adhesive for a secure, long-lasting fit that removes cleanly without residue when needed
• Precise laser-cut fitment for the KTM RC8/R 1190 — no trimming, no guesswork

Everyday Usability

The Vulcano pads make a genuine difference on every ride, not just on track days. Commuting through traffic, carving a favourite B-road or hustling through a mountain pass, the textured surface keeps you properly planted on the tank. That means less unconscious gripping of the bars, which translates directly to smoother steering inputs and reduced upper-body tension by the end of the day. It is the kind of upgrade that quickly starts to feel indispensable.

Road and Track Performance

On the circuit the Vulcano profile comes into its own. The short peak texture bites into your leathers or textile trousers and holds body position under the high cornering loads the RC8 generates. When you trail-brake deep into a corner or drive hard off the apex, the pads let your lower body absorb the forces rather than passing them through to your wrists and shoulders. The result is more consistent lap times and greater confidence in the bike's behaviour at its limits.

Fit, Finish and Installation

Each set is precision cut for the KTM RC8/R 1190 and ships ready to apply. Clean the tank surface thoroughly, peel the 3M backing, and position the pads — the adhesive bonds firmly and will not lift at operating temperatures. Should you ever need to remove them, they peel away cleanly without marking the paintwork underneath. Part numbers: 55-10-0058C (clear/transparent) and 55-10-0058B (black).
