CinelliCork Handlebar Tape(Return to Product Page)

This tape provided some nice comfort to my handlebars. Easy to apply and good looking. Provides just enough cushion and grip to keep the hands comfortable and in place.

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.

Product was exactly as advertised color fit and finish perfect

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.

Everything you want your bar tape to be. It's comfortable, fun patterns, nice grip and stays nice even when your hands get sweaty.

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.

Tell ya the truth I just like the feel of these tapes

This tape is on my road bike and it is very comfortable.

Great.

Durability

I like traditional, grippy tape, and Cinelli does it right in the correct color for my bike.

There are a lot of handle bar tapes and everyone has their preference. I just happen to like Cinelli. I find it easy to put on and it lasts. Pretty hard to beat.

And, honestly, it's better than lizard skins. It goes on much more easily, is less slick in wet conditions, and lasts longer. What more could you want?

Excellent finish and comfortable. My only concern is little bit slippery that I would like especially with my sweaty hands. Overall Cinelli is a great tape.

Been using this ribbon for years. I will always go back to using it.

Great tape, super feel, looks great.

The only downside is that the the adhesive on the back leaves a residue when the tape is replaced.

Very soft, durable, easy to clean and has a great feel when riding. I have used Cinelli Cork Ribbon for years and highly recommend it.

Even if the name of your road maschine doesn't end in a vowel, there is no better way to wrap your handlebars than the ribbon from the masters of Italian style, grace and comfort. I have used this tape for forty years and wouldn't even think of changing for my classic bikes!

Cinelli Cork is perfect for the classic road bike. Absorbs and is comfortable. The old school Paris-Roubaix racers used to double wrap the drop bars for the cobble stone sections (build by the romans) before gel gloves and 28c

tires. Saw the Paris-Roubaix in 2001 from the back seat of a FDJ car. Bought two rolls one for the caad7 on the trainer and the other for the new Cannondale Caad13 frame set I am building up for RAGBRAI 50TH ! Home made pie and a 500 miles week! Sweet!

The kit includes everything needed to re-tape your bars. It is on the thicker side, and I wrapped my bars on the tight side, making the build even thicker. I mostly ride on the hoods, so I'm usually experiencing the tape when on the drops. The padding is nice, and the grip, combined with my gloves, seems good. I appreciate the added bar width, making the bar easier to grasp and shift positions on while reducing some of the pressure on the hands. Overall a good product. No regrets.
