High quality tape that's pricey, but you know the old saying. It is very tough, but flexible enough to navigate tight spots so you end up with a smooth job. The diagonal texturing adds a cool effect making even the black version unique compared to most of the other boring black tapes. Your hands will not slip on this surface as it's grippy, comfy and firm. Not mushy. I measured it at 2.5mm thick X 240cm long. It covered my 44cm bars with a little to spare. All in all, a great product.
I've went through many brands of bar tape on my bikes, but after having tried this ENVE 3mm tape I won't try anything else.
This is probably the easiest tape I've wrapped. The tape stretches and contours to the bar, but if you need to redo a section it's easy.
The included finishing tape isn't your ordinary electrical or vinyl tape. It's a stretchy textured strip with adhesive. It makes the final product look and feel premium.
Finally, the overall feel and grippiness of the tape during rides is great. The 3mm thickness provides excellent damping.
Durability over time is still in the air as I had only installed it a couple months, but so far so good.
This tape is tacky and provides good cushioning, if that's what you are looking for then go for it. After a handful of rides, I don't think this bar tape is for me. I realized that I just don't like tacky tape.
All the other reviews are spot on, install is pain. There is some stretch to the tape, but it's hard to work with. The tape even started to degrade as I was making wrap adjustments. Maybe this tape would be better without a glue strip.
No more searching where I left that extra garage door opener and throwing it behind the flower pot as I leave the garage.
I mounted it with out the snap together holder which looked easy enough but just wrapped some tape around the barrel of unit and it fit snugly in the end of handlebar and placed a thin strip of tape around end for extra security.
Setup was easy even though my opener was not listed, just a few trial button pushes to find the correct number to connect.
