Stompgrip Panigale V4 (2025) Tank Grips

The primary benefit of Stompgrip tank grips lies in the enhanced rider control they provide. The textured surface, often featuring the “Volcano” or “Icon” pattern, allows riders to securely lock their knees into the tank. This seemingly simple action has a profound impact on the riding experience. By using their legs and lower body to grip the bike, riders can maintain a stable and consistent body position. This is particularly critical during aggressive cornering, hard braking, and rapid acceleration. The improved stability frees up the rider’s upper body, allowing them to relax their arms and wrists. This not only reduces physical fatigue and the dreaded “arm pump” but also allows for more precise steering inputs and overall control.

Beyond the performance benefits, Stompgrip tank grips also serve a vital protective function. They act as a shield for the Panigale V4’s beautiful paintwork, protecting it from scuffs, scratches, and abrasions caused by riding gear like leather suits, pants, and zippers. Given the cost and prestige of a bike like the Panigale V4, this is a valuable layer of protection that helps maintain its pristine appearance.
