Review by SJ_SpinAddictReviewed 11/20/2014by SJ_SpinAddictCycling EnthusiastSan Jose, CA4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Ya Get What You Pay For.I've mostly heard good things about the Lizards but was hesitant to fork out the dough. I wanted to bling out my white Trek Cronus Pro w a white tape so I splurged on the white 2.5's, I'm glad I did. It has a great tactile feel and is non-slip finish. The supple material soaks up vibration beautifully so I didn't even have to use gel padding under it. Did I say it feels good in your hands? It feels like no other tape in the most positive way. Kinda feels like Gummy Bears but more light and lively! Sure the white shows more dirt but rubbing alcohol cleans it up nice. On the plus side, it definitely gave my bike the pop I was looking for. I can't attest to the longevity since I've only put on about 400 miles.
Yeah these are pricy so I wouldn't put them on a commuter or a grocery bike but if you want to splurge on your carbon steed go for it, glad I did.

Review by WilliamReviewed 10/16/2018by WilliamPortland2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Will never buy any other bar tapeHeard about this bar tape and thought Id give it a try. Glad that I did. It has great grip properties and allows me to ride without gloves. Hands dont slip even when moist from perspiration. Will definitely purchase and put on my rain bike as well to see how it does during the upcoming Portland rainy season.

Review by Hood River bikerReviewed 5/27/2015by Hood River bikerCycling EnthusiastHood River, ORGreat cushion and feel, and I love the color optionsReally comfortable and grippy bar tape. I did have a little bit of slippage and had to rewrap one of my bars, but I think that was my fault for not wrapping tightly enough in the first place. I've just worn through the outermost layer after about 4,500 miles of riding and ordered the same Lizard Skins DSP 2.5 as a replacement. There was certainly more functional life left in my current tape, but it was looking a little shabby and life is too short for that!

Review by Beachbiker52Reviewed 10/29/2014by Beachbiker52Cycling EnthusiastMalibu, CAGreat grip. Love the colors.Love the tacky feel and cushioned bar. Wraps easily and lasts. I like the ability to clean with it with a mild cleaner. Pricey but worth the cost for the feel and the longevity.

Review by ReederReviewed 9/15/2014by ReederPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Best stuff out thereThis product is first class. Easy to wrap, fantastic feel, durable. More expensive but worth every penny. The 2.5 mm is just right. I had the 3.2 mm but like this better.

Review by PACyclistReviewed 9/18/2014by PACyclistCycling EnthusiastGlenmoore, PA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Best bar tape available.This definitely beats cork tape. It's a bit pricey but you get plenty of tape to do a handlebar (unlike cork) and you get bar caps that actually fit and are snug. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it doesn't last as long as cork. But I find it's more comfortable and I have a better grip in dry and wet conditions.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/18/2014by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSeattle, WAGreat bar tapeThis bar tape has great cushion and very good grip. Some tape gets slippery on long hot (over 90) rides, not this tape. With 1000 miles I can't really comment on durability yet.

Review by [email protected]Reviewed 11/11/2013PRICEY BUT WORTH ITThere are other bar wraps out there that are soft, stretchy and sticky like Liz Skins DSP, but none quite as good. This stuff sets the bar high(so to speak) and delivers on spec. Very soft, and it offers a phenomenally good grip when your sweat, or rain is soaking the bar. Two downsides Obviously the cost and secondly, it will wear out visibly faster than most other products. I don't care, I still like it.

Review by New OrleanianReviewed 8/19/2019by New OrleanianCycling EnthusiastNew Orleans, LADoesn't hold upFelt great at first, but after fewer than 50 rides the colored top layer started peeling off the tape in the high contact area near the brake hoods. It's back to Cinelli tape for me.
