Handlebar Tape

[Derosid]

Silca 2.5 Nastro Cuscino (red) and 1.8 Piloti (black) tape.

Switched from Supacaz to Zipp Service Course CX and it has been my go to for a couple of years now.

I dont like riding with gloves in the heat, and I think the Zipp CX tape has great grip even with sweaty hands.

How about Camp and Go Slow "Western Rattler?"





Seen here on an All City Space Horse.

I'm still trying to find silicone tape with no adhesive like Cervelo provides with a new Rouvida. Cervelo was no help. I found some at bike tires direct, but notice that it has some mild adhesive.

Maybe ali express.

There are plenty of other good options from brands like Enve, Silca, Zipp, and Easton (among others, I'm sure) --and the Giant brand stuff that always comes on my TCR's is fanastic -- but Supacaz is easily #1 for me. Lots of nice designs and color options to choose from, too. Just be aware that some of the more shiny blingy colors won't have the same feel as the more basic stuff.

Agree. The Supacaz SK stuff I have on my road bike isn’t cushy (bike takes care of that) but it’s grippy, even wet. Gravel bikes have Rodeo Labs (looks great, minimal cushion, durable, not super grippy) and PNW Coast (a bit of cush, stays grippy in the wet). As you may intuit, I have one priority for tape, then other considerations.

I got some Easton microfiber tape on sale a couple years ago for $9.99, I love it. I happily pay full price (still only $20-25) for it now, it’s great stuff. Stretchy, so it’s easy to install, but not too stretchy. Tacky, but not too tacky, and cushy, but not too cushy. It’s also fairly durable, though it’s no Fizik tape.

Bought this on a whim and really like it. It been very durable since it has been on my bike several months now.

What's up with these ridges if I may inquire?

I love this stuff. However, if you pull it too hard installing you can break that grid, fyi.

Durable as it gets.

I've used the Easton microfiber tape too and it's pretty nice.
