Zipp Service Course Gel Cork Handlebar Tape - Thickly Padded for Cyclocross

First time user of this tape. I've tried them all, 40+ years of riding. Goes on fairly easy. A bit of stretch to it, length is ample. No adhesive backing (gel). Grippy feel, you could ditch wearing gloves if you want. Feels similar to Lizard Skin DSP, but not as rough. No adhesive backing means you can take it off and start over if you mess up without tearing the tape. Wonder why this tape is not rated among the top handlebar tapes. Good value also. I used this tape on my fairly new Trek 2021 Domane + LT. Replacing the stock Bontrager Super Tack Perf tape. The Bontrager tape was a bit too sticky and mushy for me. This stuff is 3.5mm thick. Lots of padding, but installs easy for a thick tape. Usually thicker tape is harder to install, not this stuff. Good tape.

Finding quality bar tape is quite a maze these days, but look no further, this stuff is awesome! I ride primarily on the road and mix in hard pact gravel now and again. I have been riding with it for over a couple months now in the dry and the wet. In the wet is does not get soaked or slippery like other cork and gel tape I have used in the past. The raised bumps make it feel very secure against my finger tips. Applying it was a breeze. Stretches easily (I figure 8 behind the shifters) and the backing, while very tacky, does not leave any residue behind and can be easily lifted off if you mess up a bend. It's not the most cushioning tape, but I find the thickness more than adequate. The reality is your tire choice and the pressure you choose to run them at it going to make more difference than any tape will. If you are looking for an aesthetically pleasing, highly functional, and easily workable bar tape, then this tape is for you!

Great bar tape, one of my two favorites. There is a rubbery silicone backing that not only helps stick when wrapping but also gives a noticeable amount of padding. Good grippy texture too

I'm not very experienced in changing bar tape - this was only my 2nd time. But it went on really smoothly (check out Park Tool's how-to video for bar wrapping on YouTube) and I think it looks great. I've ridden nearly 1000 miles with it this year and haven't seen any signs of wear or shifting around. It's pretty grippy stuff. Not a lot of cushion, but my gloves have that anyway. Overall, no complaints, and I would definitely buy this again.

Delivered on time and in good shape. Went on better than most bar tapes I've tried. Was long enough to wrap the bars on two different bikes (one set per bike). After six months and about a thousand miles on one bike it is holding up well. Good grip and it looks good too.

This is the best tape. Right amount of grip, just the right amount of padding, and perfect amount of stretch! Only thing is the wording makes install a little bit more difficult in order to keep the orientation consistent. The finishing tape is also a bit too flashy with the white logos.

I must like this tape since I keep buying it. Haven't found any I like better. That said, I wish it were longer and more durable. In order to be long enough to cover my SRAM etap blips, I only can overlap by about 1/3rd. But then the tape always wears out just below the boots where I nreat my wrists a lot of the time (see photos). Only get about 1500 miles out of it before I need to replace the tape. Perhaps it would last longer if I could do greater overlap. Also, unlike some other wraps, the do not included extra pieces of tape for under the brake/shifter mount, further reducing the length. Now I just recycle a good section from my previous tape for that spot. All that said, I love the feel and grip of this tape, and other than the length, it installs easily. Just keep it under tension as you wrap.

Bought these to wrap the handlebars on my gravel bike. Easy, no issues with the wrap. It provides a good grip texture that is comfortable. It looks streamline and feels like quality tape.

This is slightly bobbly, high grip, reasonably thick, black bar tape. If that is what you are looking for, you are not going to go far wrong with this. I have wrapped the bars on my gravel bike with this and after many months it is still nice and comfy, nice and grippy and barely showing any signs of wear.

Es una cinta con muy buen acabado y un gran agarre. Al estilo de la marca de la competencia Lizard Skins. A priori parece más resistente que esta última, aunque habrá que comprobarlo con el paso del tiempo. Tiene un grosor medio, que para mi gusto personal es perfecto. Amortigua bastante pero sin hacer demasiado grueso el manillar. En definitiva, me encanta. Posiblemente repita cuando necesite cambiar de cinta y se lo recomendaré a mis amigos.

Qualitativ hochwertiges Lenkerband, welches durch die gedachte Verwendung im Bereich des Cyclecross besonders dick und gut gepolstert ist. Dadurch eignet es sich auch für Rennradfahrer, die auf etwas mehr Komfort stehen.

Il miglior nastro manubrio mai avuto, morbido, elastico da montare, bello, durevole e soprattutto lavabile!

Very grippy and comfortable bar tape
