Fairly easy to wrap, but does not stretch well.

The tape has a good feel and wears for a long time.

Review by gchapman
I use this tape on my cross bike and I ride without gloves. Tape is very slick and does nothing to provide cushion. Please do not buy this. Junk!

This is the perfect grip tape. Can be stretched to be as thin or thick as you like, lasts at least a season, and comes in great colors. Lightweight too.

Not a super padded tape but it's not supposed to be. Gets a little slick with sweat.

Nice feeling tape that seems to last a long time. I use this on most of my bikes. The only caution is that there is no extra lenght included and it is easy to come up short if its not stretched just right.

I used the Elementi and the Mistral tape by Deda on vintage restoration projects. The Deda tape is easy to work with. It sretches and conforms well. Price is the key for using Elementi. I don't care for the embossing you have work around so I usually use Minstral. It has a leather look & feel.

What can you say about bar tape - comparable to cinelli but at half the price. it's not too cushy - just right - but the white is more grey now.

Great grip wraps really easily stays put comes in a ton of colors lasts a long time.

When it comes to foam bar tape, you can't beat DEDA. It has string in the adhesive to aid in smooth removal, when you switch it out. If you like white, Simple Green on a rag will clean it. The price is reasonable & it feels like it should, in the hand. Money well spent.

I got this tape during the 2017 giro to put on my 2010 giant team rabobank giant , then dumlion lost the pink jersey, in support of him I put the orange tape on my bike, and his luck turns and wins!!

This tape is a little firmer than others you can find but it is durable and has a good feel once installed. I have used it before and it has lasted several years. I used it this time to double wrap the top part of my bars on my cyclocross bike to give it a little more cushion.

I did like the plush feel of this bad tape, unfortunately the longevity of this tape is not that great.
Review by BuckB
I put this on my green '76 Takara road bike. It was pretty easy to apply, this being my first time wrapping bars I did manage to botch it in a couple places. That was all user error. However if you have some experience I expect they will go on quite smoothly. They feel good, like suede underhand, with a slight cushion. All in all this was precisely what I needed for the price tag.

Deda Elementi tape is as good as it gets. It is comfortable and long wearing. Wraps easier than cork, less risk of tearing.

I ride a lot so I put some wear on handle bar tape. This tape last's and last's. I get the white and even white doesn't show any dirt, it doesn't stick for some reason. If it does it just wipes off.. I love this tape! It looks great, feels good, wears great!
Review by Flatlander
Its hard to find purple bar tape and I wanted it to match the trim on my 1999 Colnago Dream. It looks good and feels good. I bet the reviewers who said this is easy to install have more upper body strength than I do. I got a workout stretching it to fit the 42mm deep drop bars. It stretched enough and I got an exercise benefit I didn't expect.
