SalsaGel Cork Bar Handlebar Tape(Return to Product Page)

I bought the dark brown, and I bought it for the looks. Looks like cork, or leather. Mates well with the color scheme of my bike. I have an old Schwann Le Tour in a dark blue. The dark brown goes great with the dark blue, and my dark brown leather saddle. This was my first time ever retaping a set of handlebars, and was happy with the results-videos on YouTube. Tape is comfortable to ride with, and is a good vibration dampner. Would recommend.

This is the second purchase of the salsa handlebar raps. The first ones have been on the bike for over a year.

After trying many bar tapes, I settled on Salsa as it is long enough , cushy enough and stays put. It's actually more cushy than Bontrager double gel and grippier

I like the cork feel with the gel backing. Comfortable and I expect it to be durable as well.

Love the Salsa chili's on my Cowchipper drop bar flares. Good grip in the damp and cold.

I like the soft feel of this tape. This is the second time I have purchased it. It may be because I didn't do the wrap so well the first time, but the tape did move and the edges rounded up. I paid much closer attention to spiral direction and pitch of the spiral. Hopefully, this will help is stay in place better this time.

This finished the look on my commuter bike with its new brown Brooks B17 saddle. Very comfortable tape and easy to wrap. No issues at all.

Great product for the price.

Fine tape for touring and cruzin on the drop bars

This is the best cork tape I've tried so far and it comes in a lot of different colors.
