Comfort GEL Road Bike EVA Handlebar Tape Bike Bar Tape Camouflage Series Tape with Reflective Bar Plugs

Our wagon is 5 years old and the foam handle grip was ripped and missing chunks! This was an ideal replacement! The two (2) rolls were the perfect amount to cover the whole length of the push handle and it already feels more durable than the original foam grip (which I removed before applying this grip tape). Very happy with the result !

These got installed on an older, but new to me triathlon bike. After painting it, I replaced the aging components, and these were the finishing touch. Having aero bars and bull horns, but not wearing gloves, I like a little bit of squish for the tape, and this stuff is a great balance of having cushion, but not feeling like I'm holding my motorcycle grips. They were easy to undo, when I wasn't quite happy with one of the 4 sections I wrapped. Wrap thickness is very much a personal preference, but I think these are more than worth the cost.

I love the pattern of the grip but I noticed the tape is not as thick as my previous name brand ones. I had my local bike shop wrap my road bike drop down bars and it looks great on the bike. The lost star is that the tape started to fray at the bar end after 2 rides. I have since used gaffers tape to prevent the tear from spreading. It's inexpensive and looks great considering I don't ride as much as I used to.

I have an old road bike that had original fabric grips, and this was such an easy replacement. Clean your handlebars well before installing, and this will stay for a while. I was riding my bike multiple times during 2024, and have had no issue with slippage or anything. Works exactly how I hoped. Plugs that came with it, worked great to hold the ends together. If I have to replace them again, or replace other tape, i'd use this brand again.

Turned out real nice. I'm happy.

Excellent tape.

First off I have to disagree with the comments about it not being long enough. I have pretty standard bars and there was plenty left over when I was done. I provide how I do my wrapping below.The tape looks great and is comfy/cushioned. I give it only 3 stars because it is missing the little extra pieces for under the shifters for those that need it (they are shown in the picture but don’t come with it). I don’t use them (see below) but it does advertise them so… Also the bar ends (plugs) were too small for my pretty standard bar so I just used a spare pair I had. No big deal.Here’s how I tape (plenty of YouTube videos show this): I start at the bar end and wrap the tape in the direction my fingers go when I grab the bar on the drops. This way my natural pressure is not unraveling the tape. I cut a diagonal slice off the end so there is no tape hanging over the end and it is all overlapped to hold it on - thus no need to tuck any tape in with the bar end. My overlap is such that the double sided tape in the center of the tape reached the bar itself. I pull the tape tight and wrap up to the shifter. I go under over back over and under again (1 1/2 figure eights) and this covers all the area around the shifter so no extra separate tape is needed. This also resets the wrap direction so the wrap on the top of the bar is once again aligned with how my fingers point. I had plenty of tape to reach where the bar thickens to the clamp and tape it up with electrical tape. Probably cut about 6” off at the end.This tape isn’t particularly stretchy mostly because it appears to have cork inside but worked fine.

I like the seat it was what I expected
