The Root Industries Distortion griptape is one of those pieces that pulls you in at first glance: an intense, swirling graphic that comes to life even more aggressively once the scooter is in motion. The Distortion series stands out for its visual energy — a vibrant, “ripped-open” style made specifically for riders who like to stand out in the flow of the skatepark.
The 23" length and 6.5" width (58.4 × 16.5 cm) give it a universal fit for most modern decks. The surface offers a sharper, more responsive grip that delivers stable control during quick direction changes, bigger drops, and mid-trick adjustments. The texture isn’t overly harsh, but defined enough to keep reliable contact whether your shoes are dry or slightly damp.
In terms of durability, Root Industries delivers the standard you’d expect: slow, even wear, no peeling at the edges, and a consistent grip surface even after long-term use. The Distortion graphic gives your setup a personality that others will notice instantly.
If you want a technically reliable, visually striking griptape that radiates energy, the Distortion 6.5" was made exactly for that.
