Cinelli Cork Gel Bicycle Handlebar Tape in Multiple Colors

I needed to replace the original thin plastic bar tape on my vintage road bike and this was a perfect choice. Enough to wrap the entire drop bar. It has a double tacky strip inside the tape to help secure it but thankfully no adhesive strip so it is easy to rewrap if you are new to wrapping handlebars. Easy to unwrap and fix your mistakes. I didn’t use the supplied end caps which simply push in but reused my better quality original screw in caps instead.

Used this many times over the years. There is nothing to beat it for comfort, long-wearing life, ease of installation, as long as you use electrical tape instead of the finishing tape supplied (but that is true for all bar tape, in my experience). Additional tip: get SaveMyBar end caps from Close The Gap instead of using the bar plugs supplied. Makes installing the bar tape so much easier. Just slips over the end of the bars, secured with electrical tape and you wind the bar tape around it, instead of struggling to tuck it into the end of the bars and fix the bar plugs. Again, this applies whichever bar tape you use. As used by Visma LeaseABike, so can't be bad!

High quality and thick wrap with thats comfortable and easy to grip. 2 good size rolls with plenty of material to cover all that you'll need. When wrapping just make sure its spread out properly to not give you lumpy or bare spots.

My first handlebar wrap. After going over the handle bars and tearing off most of my original handlebar tape, I decided to try the Cinelli Cork Gel Ribbon Tape. After a couple of rides I like it lot. It's a bit cushier than my original tape, thought the original cork tape was a bit worn. For a first wrap job, it has not unravelled at all.Installation was easy and Cinelli provided enough finishing tape so that I didn't need to use additional electrical tape. The finishing tape that was provided was wide, stretchy and durable and looks like it will hold up well.I had just the right amount of tape, but would have been short if I had wider handle bars. I took off one star for lack of leeway in the length, but otherwise recommend. Good price/quality combo.

This model of Cinnelli is the best! Comfy and durable, it is easy to install! Great value

Cinelli bar tape is excellent. I have recently used Deda, Kingou, and Alien bar tape and I am here to say, Cinelli is the best. The tape is easy to wrap with a light adhesive that allows repositioning without ripping the tape underneath. The is plenty of length so no need to overstretch the tape to cover the bar. Large extra tape sections for covering the brake clamps. On the road, it is very cushioning and comfortable. Excellent stuff!

Really nice bar tape. I really like the texture that the cork imparts, and the gel is noticeable in the way it helps isolate road vibrations from your hands. The plastic end caps are nothing special, but I suppose they are functional. I did not use them, instead I have a nice pair of metal ones that expand inside the tube. The gel did NOT add too much diameter to the bars, which I like. The logo is subtle and most are either covered or partially covered. The tape has a thin adhesive line down the center, and the set includes two ample rolls, one for each side, along with two small strips to cover the spot behind the hoods. And the set also includes two sticky strips meant to seal the inner (loose) ends of the bar tape. These appeared to be well made, being heavy plasticy material with a strong adhesive. However they almost immediately started to come loose, and it was difficult to remove them without tearing the underlying bar tape. I did finally get the strips removed and replaced them with electrical tape covered with self-sealing, non-adhesive silicone tape, which looks and works really well. I got the white tape, so I shall see how it holds up under use and if it stays reasonably clean. I sweat a lot and normally ride road bike without gloves. I was happy with the grip they allowed, even with sweaty hands. And my hands don't go numb quite so quickly as they did with the old regular tape (probably also Cenelli, but not gel or cork).

I used this for grip on my grandmother’s shower bars. Worked great for a few years. Her partner did slip in the shower and died from complications. ..but the tape works good.
