What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I like this tape for riders who want more grip and a bit more padding without losing road feel. The 2. 5mm thickness takes the sting out of rough pavement, and the zig-zag texture stays secure even without gloves. It's durable enough for daily miles but feels race-ready."When we're pushing pace on pavement, carving gravel corners, or lining up at the start line, cockpit grip makes all the difference. Race Bar Tape from Profile Design blends performance-focused texture with everyday durability, giving us confident control mile after mile. Constructed with a foam backing and natural rubber outer layer, this tape absorbs road vibration while maintaining direct feedback from the bars. The zig-zag textured pattern and perforations enhance grip and tactile feel, even during high-intensity efforts. At 2. 5mm thick, it provides comfortable cushioning for riders who prefer a gloveless ride. Each set includes two 215cm pieces-long enough for bars up to 44cm-and finishing bar end plugs for a clean, complete setup.
