Love the comfort of this, durable and easy to install - what else do you need - used this for years
Review by AML PRO RIDER LOOK
I have used this tape for several years now and find it to have a lot of comfort, wares well,
and very easy to apply. Good stretch, and does not tear easily. Good vibration absorption,
looks cool too ! Buy it !

This bar tape is very easy to install and seems to hold up well.

Although a good deal for the price, started having cracks in a few places. Then when unwrapping, it would break apart too easily leaving part of the tape on the handlebar. The sticky strip may be too sticky.
Review by Avid cyclist
I have these on my 3 road bikes. They are inexpensive, look good, right thickness and comfortable. I was skeptical with the fake carbon look, but today I give it a chance with White carbon on my black bike and it turned out better than I expected. The only thing I dislike about these tapes is the adhesive glue they use, it's kind of over strong glue they use for the tapes, so every time I remove the old tapes, it leaves a lot of residues on handlebar that requires some extra cleaning. Other than that, these are super value!

As others have said, when this tape gets wet, it's very slippery, especially out the saddle. When it's not wet, it's a good to very good tape, that's easy to wrap, has decent shock absorption, and looks smart. However again, this tape is slick when wet and bordering on somewhat dangerous in that type of condition. I put this tape on a track bike that isn't seeing the outdoors so I'm keeping it but if you cycle in varied climates, I'd consider something with a bit more tack to it.

When the weather is dry this is averageok bar tape. When it is wet outside (I live in Florida so you will get wet) this bar tape is very very slippery. Ask me how I know...Good thing I didn't lose my front teeth.

Had older bike with handle bar issues, this made grip better & covered flaws

Feels nice, but it doesn't provide as much padding as some of the other bar tapes. On the other hand, it is a lower cost option than others.

as described. Easy to apply. But I always wish there was more of the black end tape, but this is not a brand-specific problem. Nice cushion.

Performs as expected

I use it to double wrap. Needs a couple inches more.

First time I've used the Deda bar tape as I've been a long time Fizik microtec user. So far I've been pleasantly surprised, the tape was very easy to put on and looks great with the Deda emboss adding to the looks and the grip. The tape is just flexible enough to make for a very neat job. Comfortable on the hands without being too bulky. Excellent value.

It's available in gold, do I need to say more?? Easy to install, stretchy enough that if you mess it up you can rewrap. Not the grippiest tape out there.. Riding Fizik high gloss on my other bike, much grippier than the Deda.. Still serves it's purpose well, if you lose your grip it's not the tape, it's you. Looks sick in Gold on my Celeste Cavaria with Gold TRP brakes.
Happy Riding!

Good firm feel, great looks and easy to work with.

First off, it's looks amazing, at least according to my tastes. The grip is very peculiar. It has no pores, it's smooth. The smoothness makes it grip skin.
Review by USA1169
The trade off with soft tape is the edges tend to curl up a bit with heavy use. I get about one season of heavy use out of this tape and then replace. On my third set... very happy with it over all.

A very good bar tape. It doesn't tear when stretching around curves, and the edges lay flat and smooth.

I think tpe can be way better. I would not recommend it unless there are
no other options.
