Review by SethReviewed 3/2/2024by SethTexasHelps with vibrationThis seems to help with vibration. A little extra cushion. Easy to cut so it fits under the bars correctly.

Review by RidingFineReviewed 7/11/2022by RidingFineCycling EnthusiastDavis, CAPricey but usefulGood extra bar padding on the hoods and in the drops. Helpful to me for a longer ride on gravel or road. I've tried double tape in those areas but the soft silicone gel in the bar gel provides better damping.

Review by Xpert936Reviewed 1/26/2017by Xpert936Casual CyclistAguascalientes, MX2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Less numbness, more milesThe Fizik bar gel gives my round road bars a nice cushioned feel that helps reduce the numbness. I've tried two layers of tape and flat-top road bars, but this gel has proven to be the best solution for me.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 1/12/2017by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastNew England2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Comfort!This is a great product. I have it on all my bikes (way too many). Really helps with dealing with vibrations, etc. and seems to last and last. The only downside is it does make your bars a little larger, but I think it is a little better than doing a double wrap. I have sort of large hands and I like the bars a little bigger.

Review by UphillcyclistReviewed 4/19/2015by UphillcyclistCycling EnthusiastSan Jose1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.RecommendedI use this with two wraps of cork tape. Nice and thick with plenty of comfort for those long century rides. If you're encountering numbness in your hands and shoulders I recommend this solution. My only criticism is that it would be nice if this product were less expensive.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 1/7/2022by AnonymousCompetitive RacerNW1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.fizik extra padding for road barsIn my opinion you can never have too much padding when you are gravel ridding. For using an arrow bar position without arrow bars, this padding makes all the difference.

Review by ChainstayReviewed 3/4/2018by ChainstayCycling EnthusiastToronto, Canada2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Great way to add comfortI run this on all my bikes. The cushioning helps a lot to prevent numb hands. Some double tape but I prefer the comfort in a smaller profile. It takes minimal attention to install and can be reused when you retape your bars

Review by Smiling BobReviewed 10/18/2017by Smiling BobCycling Enthusiast1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.excellent product, buy it you won't be sorryIf you suffer from pain and numbness then buy this product.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 6/27/2013by AnonymousCompetitive RacerToronto3 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Works well. Still gives a firm hold but cushions road shockI was having trouble with numb hands. This helped. Unlike gel tapes I used it still gives a firm positive grip when sprinting or climbing. It adds very slightly to the bar diameter which I prefer as it helps distribute pressure on the hands.

Review by Senior female distance riderReviewed 12/19/2022by Senior female distance rideroregonA little extra padding ??These really make a difference on long rides and rough chip seal roads. I have a full carbon S Works road bike with a future shock and use size 28 tires which makes for a nice ride already, but the extra padding is the perfect combination of added comfort ??

Review by CycleRodReviewed 7/14/2017by CycleRodCycling EnthusiastKennewick, WA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Creates a larger diameter bar for better grip and softens top bar I suffer intermittent wrist pain when riding 5 hours, bar gel has helped reduce the pain. I like the larger diameter it creates on the drops, and the padding allows me to rest my forearms on the top bar for long flat rides to take stress of my wristshands. Legs are supposed to suffer on a long ride, hands are not.
