Excellent

Excellent product. Tacky grip regardless of conditions, plus soft and durable as well. I have this bar tape on all of my bikes. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your feedback.

My favorite bar tape

This is by far my favorite tape. Just enough padding, a good texture and feel, though, it can get a little slick when sweaty, and great durability - it only started wearing out after 2,500 miles. It's easy to wrap, and thick enough to pull it tight without worrying you're going to rip it. I had considered bar tape that was easily twice as much, I'm glad I purchased this instead. I'll keep buying it as long as they make it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Superior to tapes costing 3x as much

After many hours of use I can't find a negative thing to say about this tape. It has a density and surface that provides the perfect combination of comfort and tackiness (I ride with gloves). The white color cleans up nicely if needed but seems to resist getting grimey longer than other (even colored) tapes I've used. To top it off, the silicon backing is the best adhesive I've encountered that still allows for rewrapping. At this price it's an absolute must-try.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tape at a great price.

This tape has just enough, but not too much cushioning for me. It goes on easy and the silicon strip on the back holds it in place well.

It comes back off easy too, with none of the tape staying stuck on the bar like some other tapes.

Seems to stay in good shape for a long time.

Thank you for your feedback.

Goes on well, but tough to clean &40white&41

The tape installed very easily, and is a very comfy bar covering. I found the white tough to scrub clean. Next time I would go w the Pro, but probably in Black.

Thank you for your feedback.

Awful Tape

Silicone peeled off as I lifted the tape periodically to re-position as I wrapped it.ended up with sections with no silicone which made the finished tape job lumpy and uneven. Never had a wrestling match with bar tape before. An altogether inferior product.

Thank you for your feedback.

Probably the best tape on the market

The silicon backing is fantastic. When you tape bars there is often a need to retape a couple times to get it perfect. This backing doesn't destroy the tape when it's removed.

The tape also stretches well and doesn't break.

Nice grip with sweaty hands.

Thank you for your feedback.

Stays put, nice grip and feel.

I used this tape to replace the old hard foam grips on a vintage Raleigh Marathon that I use to cruise. Simply removed the old grips cleaned up the handlebars with alcohol and cloth then wound the new grips on, had about 6 inches left over on each side. I reused the original end plugs and used the set tape provided with the new tape. About 20 minutes.

Thank you for your feedback.

Easy to wrap, clean when removed, and a comfortable, secure grip.

This is a very easy and forgiving bar tape to apply. The silicone on the back, that replaces tape strip found on other brands, allows you to get the bar tape just where you want it. Its also leaves the bars very clean when removing it. It can be a bit slippery in wet weather or if your palms are sweaty.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tape!

I've used alot of cork tape over the years and I won't be buy anything that has a standard adhesive on the back anymore. The silicone on the back of this tape makes it much easier to complete a nice install if you don't get the wrap just right from the start. Plan on doing a figure 8 around your brake levers for a nice look. My only complaint is that with bar diameters increasing so much, and using a larger bar to begin with (44cm c-c) I wish that tape manufacturers would give us a little more length. That being said it's a minor complaint and this tape has plenty of stretch to reach a decent finishing point.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tape

Great feeling tape and it stays clean also. I use it on my cyclocross bikes and it usually lasts on cross season before it starts looking bad.

Great durability, thickness and feel.

This tape works for me - my favorite race bike tape. Looks good, easy to wrap (and re-wrap), lasts at least two seasons of hard use (and more if not so hard), and can be stretched for tactile feel or bunched for soft, cushy feel. Handles well when wet.

Thank you for your feedback.
