About Stomp Design (Stompgrip): Traction Innovators Since 1994
Stomp Design — better known today as Stompgrip — has been engineering high-performance traction solutions for action sports enthusiasts since the company was founded in 1994 in Huntington Beach, California. What started as a small operation run by a pair of passionate riders has grown into a globally recognized brand, trusted by everyone from weekend snowboarders to professional motorcycle racers and competitive snowmobile riders.
The company's origins lie in snowboarding. Stompgrip designed and manufactured the first injection-molded snowboard stomp pads and pioneered the development of the first crystal-clear stomp pads, allowing riders to show off their board graphics underneath the traction surface. That spirit of innovation — solving real problems for real riders — has defined the brand ever since.
In 2004, Stompgrip expanded into powersports, introducing its now-iconic motorcycle tank grips. The concept grew from a desire to replace crude skateboard griptape solutions on dirt bikes with something purpose-built for two-wheel use. After collaborating with a riding coach at California Superbike School and testing prototypes at Willow Springs, the results were undeniable — and Stompgrip's powersports lineup was born. Today, Stompgrip exterior traction products cover everything from street and adventure bikes to off-road machines and snowmobiles.
What Makes Stompgrip Different?
Unlike generic grip tape or repurposed adhesive products, every Stompgrip traction product is purpose-built using proprietary plastic blends developed in-house with local suppliers. These materials are engineered to wear down gradually — like a tire — rather than cracking, peeling, or abrading riders' gear. Rounded, injection-molded edges resist lifting, while premium adhesives from 3M and Avery ensure a secure, long-lasting bond to tanks, frames, and boards alike.
The product lineup spans multiple distinct traction profiles: the classic Volcano, the high-aggression Super Volcano, the versatile Quad Plate, and the sleeker Icon profile introduced in 2018 for riders who prefer a less aggressive look and feel. Products are available in both clear and black, with the clear options allowing paint and graphics to remain fully visible beneath the traction surface.
All Stompgrip products are made to order in Huntington Beach, California, ensuring the freshest possible adhesives on every product shipped — a detail that matters because adhesives are perishable and shelf life directly affects bond strength.
