Review by Tracey.HeilMore comfortable and stays cleaner than Lizard Skinsby Tracey.HeilCycling EnthusiastCamas, WAThis 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.

Review by 50 yr old plus female cyclist Better than any bar tape on the market. by 50 yr old plus female cyclist oregon1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by KikemonExcellent tape, low priceby KikemonDaily CommuterPortland, ORI 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.

Review by KpppCushioned and durableby KpppDaily CommuterPortland1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by GibsonatorWell, it's bar tape.by GibsonatorCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.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?

Review by OldwheelmanCinelli First, Last, Alwaysby OldwheelmanCycling EnthusiastCharleston, SC2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.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!

Review by AnonymousGreat Tapeby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastGlasgow, MTI bought this bar tape to add some color to one of my old steel bikes I was modernizing with new stem, bars, and shifters. This tape was easy to install and is very supple when riding. I did have to re-wrap the bars after a few weeks of riding (not because of the tape, but because of a brake cable issue). The tape did tear a little where the sticky stripe under the tape contacted the over lapped edge of the tape. Not a big deal but something to keep in mind.
