Best bar tape around. Easy install and last forever. White grip is classy.
Have been using this tape for over 5 years, and have yet to find something I like better. I don't like wearing gloves, and even with the hot, humid, summer we've had, there is always an adequate grip on the bars, no matter how much I may be sweating. It has some cush to it, but use the bar gel under it & haven't felt the need for gloves unless ride is longer than 300kms!
like, feel, doesn't get (as )slippery when wet, can be washed & re used.
adhesive strip on back can tear tape when you try to reposition it
Excellent quality handle bar tape. Outstanding grip, with plenty of comfort. Great matching color schemes. I have used Stella tape for years, and decided to give Fizik a shot, sense I've been so happy with their saddles. I would buy this again, because it is another high quality product from Fizik.
I used the regular white tape on my wider road bars. Initially a bit slick in use so needed to wear gloves to keep a good grip, but after a couple of weeks there was enough tackiness in the tape to comfortably use without gloves. I like Fizik and had previously used soft touch tape, but that always stretched and curled up at the edges. After a couple of months on the bars, this version shows no signs of stretching and a quick wipe has removed any grime or marks.
Fizik Microtex Bar Tape is nice and easy to keep clean
I use the shiny red and it stays very clean and sharp looking. Grippier than I expected. It's not very padded so if you need a lot of shock absorption from your tape then this isn't for you.
Installed some Logo blackwhite soft touch. A little tricky to wrap as it kept on bunching up on the bends. I have 46 bars and I had to wrap the top of my bars thin to make it stretch long enough. If you like the feel of the road, you will like this tape. It looks great with my matching Arione blackwhite saddle. I have not used Fizik tape for awhile, it's durable and long lasting. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, if you like padded bars, put a layer of gel under the tape. I pulled off some Cenilli cork and the Fizik is quite lightly padded compared to it. Different feel, but nice. The Fizil logo is nice, but not really that visible to anyone else accept you, and I guess thats what counts.
White handlebar tape for a non-pro...fizik makes it happen here. A simple wipe and they look as good as new. Highly recommended.
Tape won't break when you stretch it. Minimalist feel, but crazy short, even without a figure 8 around the hoods it comes up short.
Lasts forever so it is more expensive.
Fizik Microtek bar tape is probably my favorite. It has the look and feel of leather without having to worry about care and upkeep. The only downside is the lack of padding but to solve that issue, I put pieces of leftover bar tape on the bar and wrap over it. Works great, looks great!
Nothing makes a bike feel new like new bar tape.
This quality bar tape comes in great colors and unlike some less expensive tapes, the Fizik tape really holds that color over the long haul.
Easy to clean.
Worth every penny.
It is grippy when wet, the black will show salt stains. it's better than the bontiger tape that came with my bike if you need new tape get this if you don't wait till you do.
This stuff wraps really easy, stays clean and lasts forever.
Even though it doesn't feel padded, it's quite comfortable as well.
One of the best bar tape for keep clean
I have a white Cervelo and the white tape looks great (I also like the Fizik logo), it's thin but still has plenty of comfort.
The softsuede texture is really nice. I ride without gloves quite a bit with this tape. When wet, it's not slippery. It lasts a long time and stays looking good. I find it installs welleasily. Two complaints I think they need to give about a foot more. C'mon Fizik - it stinks to do a tape job and come up JUST short. This is on 42cm bars. Now, I always use two rolls per tape job and overlap by quite a bit. You get a thicker, more comfy wrap this way and don't run short, but it's pretty expensive - which is my second complaint. Seriously!? What does this stuff cost to make? $20 is a lot for what's in the box, I think. But I still buy it cuz It's the Best!
I've had this tape for a few weeks and I'm very impressed with its performance. It's not padded at all but has an extremely nice feel, and provides good grip in wet conditions. It was also very easy to wrap, and was impossible to tear. If you're looking for an alternative to cork ribbon this is a good place to start.
The Fizik Bar Tape is awesome! I love that it comes in metallic colors - regular cork tapes can't offer that. I've used the silver and the soft touch black, both are fantastic, and hold up well. I haven't yet had an issue with them unwrapping, as some of the traditional cork tapes do. A great purchase!
I wore out a thicker, original equipment bar tape and replaced it with the Fizik. I like the thinner profile and the feel of the tape's finish. I get a good grip and good responsiveness. I've been racking up some miles and it's wearing very well.
I have the metallic blue - love the color.
