Easy to apply, no tangles like some others. Gives excellent grip and importantly reduces shock from the road to help prevent wrist and nerve discomfort.( 3.2 thickness) with no detriment to handling. Great range of colours.

This tape is real grippy and looks great when first put on. I have not experienced yet the peeling problem others have. If the tape holds up for a couple of seasons which I feel is a reasonable request then I'm satisfied with it. If it starts to peel or fall apart in any other way then it won't be worth it and my next tape will be a different brand.

The tape is very grippy. I have not had it on long enough to experience the outer layer peeling off. If I get a couple of years out of this tape I'll be happy. If it comes apart and looks bad as other reviewers have noted then it definitely is not worth the price. We'll see.

This tape has a really grippy feel and looks great when new. It's expensive so I haven't decided yet whether it was worth it. Don't have enough miles on it yet to experience the peeling problem others have stated. If it happens then it definitely is not worth it.

Love the grippy feel of the tape but the outer layer started to peel after 500 miles and rapidly got worse. Never again

The 3.2 thickness helps absorb road chatter and provides excellent grip.

I love the color of mine (bright green) as well as the extra padding. Took off 1 star because it is not significantly more padded than my 2.5mm ones although the way they advertise it, youd think it was much more padded. In fact I cant even tell the difference unless Im holding my different tapebar setups back to back! As with all DSP I love the feel of this tape in dry and wet conditions.

I bought the thickest version as I have osteoarthritis in all my finger joints, back and neck. Great grip, shock absorption and worth the money.

Lizard Skins from Bike Tire Direct was a great value on sale. By far this is the best white bar tape on the market. Cleans up easy and lasts whereas its competitors wear quickly picking up soiled marks and looking grungy. Spend the extra money and get Lizard Skins!

This 3.2 tape provides a cushy ride for my gravel bike. Cushioned but still allows good control.
Review by Zatoichi
I was a big fan of this tape at one time (especially after the 3.2 mm came out), as it is nice on the hands. However, long-term durability is not great, after a season or two, the colored outer layer starts to peel, leaving the tape looking shoddy. Any color other than black tends to get dirty quickly, and getting the dirt off is difficult to impossible (I recently tried to clean a friend's red Lizard Skins tape using Rock N' Roll Miracle Red degreaser, this stuff normally cleans most anything, but it didn't work at all on this tape). Given that MSRP is now $46 a box, I won't be using it any longer. Fizik tape is more durable and cheaper, though not as cushy.

Somewhat expensive but excellent bar tape. The thicker 3.2 mm tape offers more padding.
Review by Jim
Great bar tape, really reduces vibrations and doesn't slip on the handlebar. Only problem was the cheap bar plugs that came with the tape were too big for the tape thickness and broke.

This bar tape gives great padding to help minimize vibrations.

Light, extremely comfortable and tactile feel. Will make your bars thicker, which I really like. Great tape.

Very thick and hard to wrap around 3T Ergonova bars.

Put on a my roadbike, allowed for a better grip due to it's thickness, and provides a very cushy ride.

You hands and wrists will thank you, you will notice quality, vibration dampening and tape thats going to last more than a season of riding. The last bar tape I used quickly delaminated then the foam wore through to the bars all within 2000 miles.
I used Lizard skins on another bike which have over 5000 miles and the tape still looks and performs like new.
The next time I need bar tape I will buy again.
