The Riders Who Know, Choose 6D Carbon.

There’s a reason serious S 1000 XR riders don’t settle for printed stickers. This laser-cut 6D carbon tank pad set is engineered specifically for the S 1000 XR (2023) — not adapted, not approximate. Every piece fits the tank geometry exactly, covering the contact zones that matter most: where your knees grip in corners, where your belt buckle meets the paint, where daily riding quietly destroys an unprotected surface.

If you ride it hard, protect it properly.

Why 6D Carbon — Not 3D, Not 5D

Most tank pads on the market use 3D or 5D carbon foil. The difference is visible. Grippatch uses genuine 6D carbon foil — a multi-layer structured foil with an additional lens layer that creates real depth, mirror-like gloss, and a finish that holds its look for years. No yellowing. No peeling. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

3M MP 468 — The Adhesive That Doesn’t Quit

Industrial-grade 3M MP 468 adhesive holds through heat, vibration, rain, and fuel exposure. When it’s time to remove it, it comes off clean — no residue, no paint damage.

Non-Slip Gel Surface — Feel the Difference in the First Corner

The gel-backed non-slip surface keeps your knees anchored to the tank through every lean. Less sliding means less fatigue, more confidence, and a ride that feels like the bike is working with you — not against you. The center pad prevents forward sliding under hard braking. The side pads lock your legs in during cornering.

Application Instructions

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry before application. Any oil, dust, or dirt residue may reduce adhesion performance. If necessary, clean with isopropyl alcohol or a suitable cleaner and allow to dry fully.
2. Positioning: Before peeling the backing, position each piece on the surface to confirm correct size and orientation. Incorrect positioning may extend adjustment time or risk damage to the pad.
3. Application: Peel off the protective backing gradually and press each piece onto the surface section by section. This ensures even and consistent adhesion across the entire pad.
4. Air Bubble Removal: Apply firm pressure from the center outward to secure each piece to the surface. This technique prevents air bubbles from forming and ensures long-lasting adhesion.
