Hey guy's , I have been using some trick CF frame guard's on my 125 from pro carbon. They look really good , but am looking for a set ( two sets actually ) of some guard's that have some good gripping . Wanted to get some for both my TC 250 and 125. Anything out there you guys like , that hold up well , look good with good grip?

Yeah , I've done the grip tape thing for years and I just get tired of changing it out all the time. Thought there might be something better out there that would hold up.

You mention grippy frame guards... was out at the track, a guy had a RM250, Work Connection frame guards and this https://www.stompgrip.com/shop/tank-grips/dirt-bike on the frame guards and air box.

This might be what your looking for.

JJW Designs - Trik Tape. My boys torture test for Justin. He has some prototype stuff that has held up amazing. Zach usually ruins anything within a couple of rides and this stuff is still hanging in after a couple of months. Even his standard stuff is better than most other offerings.............

Been wanting to try some on my 350sxf but due to people saying they trap mud and stuff between them and the frame and grind the finish away if you dont remove them after every mud ride, I just havent broke and bought a set.... same with the swingarm protectors i wanted to get as well...

Both work well. Razorback is a bit more aggressive Trik Tape is similar to the Nihilo stuff just much thicker. I am not sure when he will be releasing the stuff we have been testing lately. I will see if I can find out though.........

Thanks Tracktor , I'll try and get a hold of Justin some time soon. I already ordered two sets of the Acerbis X-grip guard's for now. Once I wear those out , I'll touch base with him.

Thanks guys for the help in here.

Jeffro.....i use the Stomp Grip stuff on my bikes and it works well enough. Just make sure to prep the area perfectly or it will come off. It’s not really for the frame but still helps wih the overall goal. I use the Nihilo grip tape on my KTM guards and it holds up well enough
