Scroll to witness the transformation
01: The Origin
Rubber pushed to its absolute limit on circuits that demand perfection. This is where our compound begins its life.
02: The Rebirth
What others discard, we transform. Hand-processed in Japan: the same rubber, reborn with purpose.
Three compounds. All born from the same Grand Prix racing slick: reclaimed, hand-processed, and ready to perform on rock, wall, and everything in between.
GP ZERO is the most limited and performance-focused compound in the RAToM range. Made from the highest-friction racing slicks currently available, it is designed for athletes who want maximum grip, maximum friction, and the closest possible connection between rubber and surface. Built for serious climbing, hard projects, and moments where every foot placement matters.

GP1 is the core performance compound of the RAToM range. Known from viral climbing videos and reviews by prominent climbers, it delivers high friction, excellent sensitivity, and confident smearing across technical terrain. A refined all-round choice for climbers who want proven grip without losing precision underfoot.

GP2 is the firmer, more supportive compound in the RAToM range. It balances grip, structure, and durability, making it a reliable choice for everyday climbing, training shoes, and resoles that need a little more support while still carrying the racing-slick DNA of GP Rubber.

The conventional way
Natural and synthetic rubber sourced globally, including natural latex from Southeast Asia and petrochemical-based polymers.
Raw materials transported internationally to industrial compounding facilities before processing.
Energy-intensive sulphur-based vulcanisation using heat, pressure, and chemical accelerators to create new rubber compounds.
Finished rubber sheets distributed through multi-stage global supply chains before reaching workshops.
The RATOM way
Grand Prix racing slicks reach the end of their race life. The compound has already been pushed to its absolute limit, and perfected under conditions most materials never survive.
Collected instead of discarded, these slicks are sent to our workshop in Japan. No new raw materials. No virgin rubber required.
Hand-processed by craftsmen in Japan. The compound is already exceptional. We don't reinvent it. We reclaim it.
GP Rubber sheets distributed across Europe, to resole workshops. The same rubber that survived the circuit, now under your feet on the rock.
Given a second life.
Built to send.
Handcrafted in Japan
Every sheet of GP Rubber is hand-processed in Japan by craftsmen who treat material like an art form. This isn't mass production: it's the kind of care and precision that the Japanese have applied to their craft for generations. The result is a rubber sheet with consistency, character, and performance that no automated factory line can replicate.
Join the growing network of European resole shops offering their customers the most sustainable, high-performance rubber on the market.
Advanced rubber treatment that restores friction and extends the life of your climbing shoes. Sole Energy's solvent-nutrient formula penetrates deep into the rubber, dissolving chalk, oils, and oxidation from within. Apply after every session to keep your soles performing at their peak.
