5.0 out of 5 starsThin tape, as it should be
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020
I've bought this tape before so knew what I was getting in to. This is not thick padded cushy tape. If that's what you want, look elsewhere. This is thin low-profile tape, but with Fizik quality. Its great. If you want to wrap your bars with low-key non-bulging tape, then this is the ticket. I've tried all manner of bar tape and keep coming back to this style, and Fizik in general. I've found that this thin tape is just as comfortable if not more and I like the solid feel of the bars just underneath the tape. If you have aero-shaped bars then this tape makes even more sense: the aesthetic of thin tape on a bike with nice lines is, to me, the only way to go. This tape isn't super grippy, but its not slippery: its a nice balance. I can slide my hands to different positions on the bars easily, but never have the feeling of slipping. The thin and slight stretch to the material also make these very easy to wrap. I'm an old school figure-8 bar wrap person and don't ever need the extra piece of tape to cover the lever clamps because of how I wrap the hoods and this tape makes that extra 'bend' in the wrap very easy. If you're looking at this tape, give it a go. I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed. If you're used to the big fat 3+mm cushy tape, why not try this out and see. You might be surprised how good thin tape can actually feel.
