Good idea. I grip taped my frame guards and like the added control but wore through the rubber on the inside of my new tech 10’s in 6hrs.

Looks like the same thing as 3M rubber grip, but probably way more expensive.

It is rubber. I've used it on several bikes. Many factory teams seem to use it as well, e.g. Roczen's 450:

Stuff is indestructible. Make sure your frame is spotless and free of any grease. Pay special attention where it wraps around the frame. Once you lay it on it can't be repositioned. Doesn't destroy boots either.

Think I got them at Motosport. It was a while back though, like a year+, so who knows now. Only needed to buy one set so far.

So you're saying the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team uses Vibram toe shoes?
