Pros & Cons

Pros

Great leather-like look, wears like iron, good grip, and has just the right amount of cushion. I like handlebar tape that's on the thin side to give me good feel on the bars. This tape is way more comfortable than my lizard skin 3.

Nice to the feel and brightly colored. That's my rationale for my net 4 rating.

Love that the edges are chamfered. Always showed sewn with the roll in the middle.

It takes some work to install properly and neatly, but once on its very durable, stays clean, and feels great. Super durable in that it has held up through a collision drop and my getting hit by a car during a ride. Comes with 2 extra pieces for the g...  Read More



Cons

This product isn’t very durable. It applies easily enough and is durable, but it's so * uncomfortable. I feel like i might as well just ride on the bare aluminum for all the grip and padding it provides. Over night, the glue loosened due to them being...  Read More

The tape is brittle and crumbling in the box, and the edges are yellowed. This tape was stained with yellowish discoloration. Want to return but already tossed the packaging.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However i would honestly recommend a different color than white which i bought


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But it got dirty really quickly and i ultimately reverted back to darker colored tape which can better mask a little bit of grime


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ok well maybe not my whole ride im still on a road bike with minimal suspension that doesnt flex much riding on manhattan streets that havent seen a paving crew in decades after all


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But my wrists dont feel quite as beaten up after a ride and thats an enormous plus


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had some concerns about the length after reading some other reviews but decided to give it a try anyway since i have compact bars which would require less tape than other traditional drop bars


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The length and fit is perfect for a compact bar but there was no tape to spare so keep this in mind when considering this product


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The tape itself is high quality and has lasted nearly 2 years of riding 34x per week
