Real Carbon Depth. Real Protection. Built for the R 1250 GS Adventure.

The BMW R 1250 GS Adventure is built for riders who go further — on any road, in any condition. This precision-cut 6D carbon tank pad is designed specifically for the R 1250 GS Adventure (2021), delivering non-slip grip and scratch protection exactly where you need it most, without compromising the bike’s commanding presence.

What Makes 6D Carbon Foil Different?

Not all carbon finishes are equal. The market offers 3D, 5D, and 6D carbon foils — and 6D sits at the top. An additional lens layer bonded over the carbon pattern creates extraordinary depth and a mirror-like gloss that closely resembles real carbon fiber. No yellowing, no peeling — backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty.

3M MP 468 Adhesive Technology

Backed with 3M MP 468 adhesive — an industrial-grade bonding solution that holds firmly through heat, vibration, rain, and fuel exposure. Applied via advanced transfer film technology for a bubble-free, seamless finish with no cutting required. Removes cleanly without leaving residue or damaging your paint.

Gel-Backed Non-Slip Protection

The gel-backed non-slip surface keeps your knees firmly in contact with the tank during cornering and prevents forward sliding under hard braking. The center pad is specifically designed to minimize sliding caused by braking forces, keeping you connected to the bike even during sudden stops. It also protects the tank surface from belt buckles, jacket zippers, and daily gear contact.

Built for All Conditions

UV-resistant, waterproof, and fuel-resistant — Grippatch tank pads are engineered to perform in rain, sun, heat, and humidity. Whether you’re commuting or on a long-distance adventure, the pad maintains its grip and finish through every kilometer.

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 the pad 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 the pad 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 the pad to the surface. This technique prevents air bubbles from forming and ensures long-lasting adhesion.
