Wanted a thinner bar wrap for a bit more connection...that is this wrap. It's really thin, though, and doesn't stretch very well so I couldn't do the neatest install. Plus the logo is all over, and the edges are not tapered, so combined with the lowe stretch...feels kind of "edgy" on the bar.
This is my other go to bar tape. I don�t like gel or extra padding. Great grip even in the rain.
I've used this tape a couple times, once for my own bike and another for a friend's bike I tuned up for him. It's relatively thin and doesn't stretch much while wrapping, but has a pleasant texture and is fairly durable. However, for the price there are some other brands I prefer. But unless you need a lot of padding from your bar tape and want something that will hold up for a long time this is still a solid choice.
I love this tape. No cushion, but I like to feel the bars. Gets a little sticky on long rides from sweat, but cleans up nicely too. Quality stuff.
Bought it to replace the tape on our tandem. Liked it so much I got another roll for my road bike. Easy to work with and forgiving if you have to start over.
Love this tape. It is as advertised. Better feeling and control. Easy to apply. Looks great. Feels durable.
I am using this on my road bike. The tape has a good grip with my hands or riding gloves. It is not super thick and I can get a good feel of the road. I have only had it on my bike for 2 months. Over time I can better see how it will last. No issue so far.
The bright orange handle bar tape was a close color match to my original 1970's era Schwinn Varsity that I recently had refurbished at a local bike store. The leather-like comfort grip was an upgrade from the original plastic.
One of the best things about this product is the combination of the texture, not tacky, yet has just enough 'cushion' so you get that extra bit of padding. Colors are always true to what you see on the website, although I generally buy white. And...... it lasts a long time!
The 2mm Classic tape is your, well, classic minimal bar tape. It has that good old stiff leathery feel (it's textile), it feels like your hands are attached right to the handlebars. This tape is nice and thin, with absolutely no give. It's not the tacky kind, so if you're looking for that sticky feel in rainy conditions this might not be the tape for you.
This is by far the best handlebar tape I've had. It still looks brand new after almost 2 years!
The perfect tape for great feel and comfort.
