It takes more effort to install because of the tape on the bar side, but then it stays in place well. My last Fizik was on for over 10k miles.

I've used this bar tape for years. It looks good, feels nice on the bars, and lasts a long time compared to other bar tape I've used.

The soft suede texture feels great - soft and elegant without being too slippery. The tape is a little on the thin side, so if you are looking for lots of padding, add a layer if cheap cork tape underneath. Fizik also sells gel pads, but I found these to be too thick. The tape wears well, although the white tape gets dirty fast and is hard to clean.

Have been using this tape for over 5 years, and have yet to find something I like better. I don't like wearing gloves, and even with the hot, humid, summer we've had, there is always an adequate grip on the bars, no matter how much I may be sweating. It has some cush to it, but use the bar gel under it & haven't felt the need for gloves unless ride is longer than 300kms!

like, feel, doesn't get (as )slippery when wet, can be washed & re used.

adhesive strip on back can tear tape when you try to reposition it

Excellent quality handle bar tape. Outstanding grip, with plenty of comfort. Great matching color schemes. I have used Stella tape for years, and decided to give Fizik a shot, sense I've been so happy with their saddles. I would buy this again, because it is another high quality product from Fizik.

I use the shiny red and it stays very clean and sharp looking. Grippier than I expected. It's not very padded so if you need a lot of shock absorption from your tape then this isn't for you.

White handlebar tape for a non-pro...fizik makes it happen here. A simple wipe and they look as good as new. Highly recommended.

Tape won't break when you stretch it. Minimalist feel, but crazy short, even without a figure 8 around the hoods it comes up short.

Fizik Microtek bar tape is probably my favorite. It has the look and feel of leather without having to worry about care and upkeep. The only downside is the lack of padding but to solve that issue, I put pieces of leftover bar tape on the bar and wrap over it. Works great, looks great!

Nothing makes a bike feel new like new bar tape.

This quality bar tape comes in great colors and unlike some less expensive tapes, the Fizik tape really holds that color over the long haul.

Easy to clean.

Worth every penny.

The softsuede texture is really nice. I ride without gloves quite a bit with this tape. When wet, it's not slippery. It lasts a long time and stays looking good. I find it installs welleasily. Two complaints I think they need to give about a foot more. C'mon Fizik - it stinks to do a tape job and come up JUST short. This is on 42cm bars. Now, I always use two rolls per tape job and overlap by quite a bit. You get a thicker, more comfy wrap this way and don't run short, but it's pretty expensive - which is my second complaint. Seriously!? What does this stuff cost to make? $20 is a lot for what's in the box, I think. But I still buy it cuz It's the Best!

I've had this tape for a few weeks and I'm very impressed with its performance. It's not padded at all but has an extremely nice feel, and provides good grip in wet conditions. It was also very easy to wrap, and was impossible to tear. If you're looking for an alternative to cork ribbon this is a good place to start.

The Fizik Bar Tape is awesome! I love that it comes in metallic colors - regular cork tapes can't offer that. I've used the silver and the soft touch black, both are fantastic, and hold up well. I haven't yet had an issue with them unwrapping, as some of the traditional cork tapes do. A great purchase!

I wore out a thicker, original equipment bar tape and replaced it with the Fizik. I like the thinner profile and the feel of the tape's finish. I get a good grip and good responsiveness. I've been racking up some miles and it's wearing very well.

I have the metallic blue - love the color.
