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.
Review by 50 yr old plus female cyclist
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.

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.

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
Review by Chris
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.

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 like traditional, grippy tape, and Cinelli does it right in the correct color for my bike.
Review by Gibsonator
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 CerveloRider
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.
Review by St Paul Rider
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.

Been using this ribbon for years. I will always go back to using it.
Review by boldaddy
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.
Review by Napa Valley Cyclist
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.
Review by Oldwheelman
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!

Over the years I have tried other bar tapes when I think Cinelli is getting too expensive or not keeping up with the times. I have repeatedly been proven wrong. Cinelli Cork Tape is as much cushioning as I can expect. It is easy to apply, I never run out. I think their finish tape is a step above others, it is longer wider and has a texture to it.
