The Ultimate Guide to Motorcycle Mats: What They Are & How to Choose

A motorcycle mat is more than just a piece of fabric under your bike. It protects your garage floor from oil drips, enhances grip when moving your motorcycle, and adds a clean, professional look to your space. Riders also use them at trackdays and shows because they define the bike’s area and create a display-like effect.

Why Use a Motorcycle Mat?

Floor protection – keeps oil, coolant, and tire marks away from tiles or concrete.
Grip & safety – the textured surface reduces slipping.
Aesthetics – your bike looks framed and more premium.
Noise reduction – softer than bare floor.
Events – some paddocks even require mats.

Choosing the Right Size

Most sport and naked bikes fit on 90 × 220 cm (35 × 87 in).
Cruisers, baggers, and touring models need 110 × 260 cm (43 × 102 in).

Tip: Always measure your bike length and allow a few extra centimeters in front and back for comfort.

Materials & Build

High-density textile mats are better than plain rubber. They are flat, non-slip, and washable. Look for edge binding and strong print quality so the design lasts.

Customization Options

You can personalize your mat with your name, racing number, or brand-inspired colors. Many riders match the mat to their bike’s livery, which creates a professional look in the garage or at the track.

Care & Cleaning

Vacuum or shake out dust weekly.
Clean spills with mild soap and water.
For deep cleaning, rinse with a hose and let it air-dry.
Roll it up for storage; don’t fold sharply.
