Heskins Tank Grip & Gravel Guard Protection Tape combines two solutions into one – durable surface protection and enhanced rider grip.

The clear, black, or textured films act as a motorcycle tank pad or motorbike tank protector, helping prevent scratches, abrasions, and stone damage to painted surfaces. At the same time, the motorcycle tank grip element increases stability when braking, cornering, or riding in challenging conditions. Easy to apply and designed for long-term use, it offers both performance and protection in a single tank pad solution.

Applications

Tank Grip + Gravel Guard is suitable for a wide range of motorcycle and off-road uses, including:

• Fuel tanks and side panels (ideal as tank protectors)

• Fairings and frames

• Motocross and off-road bikes

• Panels and surfaces at risk of wear or impact

It can also be used on other vehicles where surface protection and additional grip are required. Application is simple – just ensure the surface is clean and dry before fitting.

Sizes & Finishes

Available in widths from ½” up to 49”, and supplied in rolls, sheets, or cut pieces. Options include clear finishes for discreet protection, or textured black for a bold appearance and additional tank grip.

Custom shapes and sizes are available to match specific tank profiles or bodywork requirements.

Tape Thickness

Tank Grip & Gravel Guard Protection Tape provides a total applied thickness of 0.71mm, delivering a strong protective barrier without compromising flexibility. Its durable PVC construction is engineered to absorb impact from stones, debris, and road abrasion while still contouring cleanly to curved, angled, or irregular surfaces. This thickness strikes the ideal balance- substantial enough to offer long-lasting surface protection, yet slim enough to apply easily on body panels, fenders, frames, and other vulnerable areas without adding noticeable bulk.

Custom Options

Through the Heskins custom cutting service, Tank Grip & Gravel Guard can be supplied in precise shapes tailored to your needs, ensuring a professional and consistent fit.

For racing, motocross, or off-road biking, the tape can also be custom printed with team names, graphics, or sponsor logos – combining tank protector functionality, grip, and branding in one solution.
