Highly recommended. Super comfortable. I wear gloves with minimum padding because of this tape.
I agree with all the other reviews of this typically high quality Silca item. I would give it 5 stars except...if you ever, and I mean EVER, want to re-wrap your bars (move a shift lever or change bars for cyclocross season) you will NEED to buy new bar tape. Silca is the only bar tape I have purchased that cannot be removed without destroying it. The tape fuses to itself and leave the foam backing glued to your handlebars. It takes a long time to pick the remains off and then I needed to use a solvent to remove the remainder. I will buy it again, but I am disappointed by the single use aspect. Keep this in mind and be very careful wrapping your bars.
$50 for bar tape is a lot, BUT I'd gladly pay it again for this tape. By far the best tape I've ever used. It feels great on bare hands and it's very grippy.
Been road riding for six years and lately 200 to 300 miles a week. Silca Nastro Cuscino adds a touch of elegance to the bike and feels great on the hands. The only bar tape I'm using from now on..
The bar tape I used to use was discontinued. Over the last year 4 brands of bar tape. I found the Silca Nastro Cuscino perfect for my needs. It has good damping, it wraps thick for my larger hands & it holds up in all weather conditions. All 4 of my bikes now this bar tape on them.
I put this on my gravel bike, and it totally helps dull out the constant chatter of the road. Sticky, well made tape. I love it.
