High quality but a bit too slippery

This is a high-quality product, but on the bar the tape is too slippery for me. When I am in the drops my hands keep sliding ever so slowly off the bar due to the tape being a bit too slippery.

I find this tape to be very nice looking and it goes on very well. I prefer more padding on my bars which this tape doesn't provide. I plan to go back and install padding at certain pressure points.

That old school feel.

If you're looking for the modern, slightly velvet touch, these are not the ones. They resemble more of a pleather finish. The advantage with this material is its resistance to dirt, stain, the wet.

Very grippy, by far one of the easiest installations

I have installed this bar tape in my bike, and it's been awesome the past 3 months. When I replaced the bar tape, I was a little skeptical about the feel and installation. I can confirm, that this bar tape isn't hard at all to install. For a novice to install, it has a bit of give to it, allowing you to mess up a few times until you get it right. As for performance, this tape does take some breaking in after it is installed. For me, I took these on a few rides and they were grippy, but still a little stiff. But in about a week, they eventually gave loose, and you can feel it squish a bit and allow you to grip the bars well, as well as providing a reduction in vibration on some of the rougher roads.

Just installed this on a new build and it is really nice material however it is almost impossible to get the bar end plugs in and looking good due to the thickness, used a mallet and still not all good.

Wraps nicely, durable, comfortable.

Use this tape, orange, on a gravel bike. EVEN though it is orange, it is staying clean looking. It was a good choice for comfort and durability. Nothing to dislike.

The thickness of the tape makes it hard to stuff the end caps. There is a lot of self advertising on this tape that you can mostly cover when wrapping a specific direction. I'm not sure why one edge needs to be white. The tape works well, it just takes a bit of effort to apply it properly and achieve a nice clean look.

Tried tons of different tapes, none as good as the 1.8mm Pinarello branded tape that is now unobtanium, this is good stuff though, would use again.

I like it...

As with everything in cycling, everyone is different when it comes to components on their bikes. I have not used Fizik bar tape for several years. Mainly (if you can believe this) it is so long lasting that I pull it off as I get tired of looking at the stuff. Now onto my review- This is thick tape, not too flexible and I find it somewhat difficult to apply, especially around the bends. You have to wrap tight and slow and make sure not leave any gaps. There is a ridge on this tape that allows you to overlap perfectly, although when going around the bends you can't do that. When getting to the tops you might have to try a few wraps or it might not come out perfectly even to the distance to the stem. It's thick tape, like I said, but it wraps thin. Has a great feel to it. Perfect amount of cushioning for me (before I was using gel tape). It has a light adhesive backing, so if you mess up, you can pull it off and try again. It looks great. I have 44 bars and had to cut off a lot of tape (I'm thinking 8 inches or so). There are blank spots) on both ends of the tape that kind of baffles me. I cut about half of those off on both ends. I used black electrical tape and used the Fizik logo finishing tape as an after thought. And the bar end plugs fit my bars without a couple of wraps of electrical tape (horray!). I think this will be my go to tape.

Went on smoothly. Directions are not much so I would Google for more advice if you haven't done this before. Good cushioned feel on the bike.

This is a good bar tape that wears well. It's easy to wrap. I've got about 2000 miles on them and they still look great. I like the slight bit of padding built into them. I've wrapped other friend's bars with these.

I cant comment on the longevity of the tape but the installation and final look was fantastic. I used this tape to wrap the bars on a friends bike and I loved it. The texture is great and the stepped thickness make it easy to align for a smooth wrap. I am really bad at wrapping bars but this tape made me look good. I have bought tape for my personal bike and if it is as durable as it looks like it will be this will be my tape of choice in the future.
