There are other bar wraps out there that are soft, stretchy and sticky like Liz Skins DSP, but none quite as good. This stuff sets the bar high(so to speak) and delivers on spec. Very soft, and it offers a phenomenally good grip when your sweat, or rain is soaking the bar. Two downsides Obviously the cost and secondly, it will wear out visibly faster than most other products. I don't care, I still like it.

Felt great at first, but after fewer than 50 rides the colored top layer started peeling off the tape in the high contact area near the brake hoods. It's back to Cinelli tape for me.

I really liked this tape when I first put it on, but in with less than 50 rides, it has worn through the top layer near both brake hoods. It is on our tandem, which my wife & I ride only once or twice a week, so it isn't subject to constant use. It's been many years since I've seen tape that poor.
It's back to Cinelli bar tape for me from now on

Just sticky enough to feel in control but not too much even in the rain. I like the 2.5 where as my stoker prefers the 3.2 for a bit more cushion.

The Lizard Skins DSP 2.5mm handlebar tape works well for me. It is easy to install, gives some road cushioning, but is not thick enough to be a problem when gripping the handlebar.
I highly recommend this product. Also, was pleased with the prompt shipping from Bike Tires.com.

I use the blue and tangerine. The blue color holds up well. The tnagerine fades quickly but still is comfortable.

This is a tacky bar tape that lasts forever. Best bar tape made!

Review by Jim
Replaced 3 year old factory installed bar tape with this Lizard Skins based on reviews here and other sites. So far the cushion is good, not bulky. The tacky feel is enough to have a good positive grip. Installation was straight forward. Very satisfied with this purchase.

The feel of the tape is a matter of preference. My wife and son both use on their road bikes and state that they like it. Neither have used it in the rain, yet.

It's a little pricey, but, for me, this is near perfection for bar tape. It's grippy, cushy, comfortable, and lasts for years.
Review by Pete
As a bit of a bar tape nerd I have to say that Lizard Skins 2.5 bar tape is some of the nicest I've used when it comes to installation. I LOVE how long each roll is and you'll never end up short, even with wide bars. It also just goes on super smooth and can be re-wraped if needed without any issues. The hand feel on this tape is great and the color options are excellent. I don't have enough time on it to rate the value beyond Good Deal at this point but if it holds up well I'd change my value rating to 5 stars.

Just buy it!

Roadies who find themselves on rough surfaces will undoubtedly welcome the way the material takes the shock out of their hands and maintains feeling in their fingers.

The tape shredded after just a few rides. Would not purchase this brand again.

I've tried lots of tape, this is my favorite. Can be a little slippery when wet with bare hands, but the pros outweigh the cons for me.
