Good cushion and grip for your ride.

You can stretch it very tightly without fear of ripping it. I wrapped the 40cm Ritchey WCS bars on my fixie loose to give more cushion for my hands. I used Profile and other brands of closed cell foam tape for several years before trying this. The Cinelli tape cleans the smudges off really well and is holding up to everyday riding. I am in the process of replacing all the Closed cell foam handle bar tape on all my bikes with Cinelli cork.

Thank you for your feedback.

Is there anything else?

have tried other brands, but really, is there anything else that you would ride

ok, not really going to make you faster, not really going to change the world, but if you have a choice between Cinelli and any other brand, clearly, Cinelli

Thank you for your feedback.

BBW-Best Bar Wrap!!!

Of all the many bat tapes I have tried, this is the best. I double-wrap, so I put a different one on first, then overwrap with this! Gives me the fat bars I need for my big hands, and the best look, as well!

Thank you for your feedback.

This is a great product. I've been using it exclusively for the last 20 years

I have been using Cinelli Cork ribbon on all off my bikes the last 20 years. It's easy to install, easy on the hands and easy on the eyes.

This is the cork tape I rely on for rewrapping most bars, for people who want a little padding.

I wrap most road bars with this tape. The only thing I don't like is that if you pull it too tight, it will break. So it has some stretch to it which makes for a tighter wrap, but it can't be overstretched, or it will break. Luckily this time, it broke near the end so I had enough to fit the bar.

Thank you for your feedback.

A terrific handlebar tape.

I rode the BRAG last summer with this comfortable tape and it helped with hand fatigue it was def worth the price. I bought the pink to put on my 63 cm R 500 1985 'Ashes of Rose" 'dale, primarily in honor of breast cancer awareness but a side benefit was it also ticked off my buddy Mike and my sister whom I rode with priceless.

Thank you for your feedback.

More comfortable and stays cleaner than Lizard Skins

This replaced the mint green Lizard Skins bar tape that I previously had on my bike. Love the Cinelli - my new favorite. It's comfortable with decent grip without being a dirt/grime magnet. Will definitely buy again.

Thank you for your feedback.

Better than any bar tape on the market.

Superior comfort and grip. Doesn't leave your hands sweaty. My rides average around 50 miles on mostly chip seal. This bar tape truly helps absorb some of the vibration. My hands never feel fatigued even after a 100 mile ride.

Thank you for your feedback.

Cushioned and durable

I've had this for a few months now and I really like the cushioning on the tape. It has a high-profile, and does increase the radius of the bars by a few mm noticeably. Does well in wet conditions, drys out pretty quick.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent tape, low price

I know there are higher-tech, (much) more expensive handlebar tapes out there, but this stuff just flat works. It looks great, right amount of cushion and great grip. Not much else I need from my handlebar tape.

Thank you for your feedback.
