Fi'zi:k Bar:tape - 2008

Tape Bar:tape on your handlebars and forget about coming undone. Durable, strong, stretch-resistant, and breathable, Bar:tape keeps you and your hands dialed to the terrain. This featherweight tape stays smooth and comfortable to the touch in even the worst Pacific deluges so you can ride the Burke-Gilman Trail in comfort. Plug your bar ends with the included plugs, match your Bar:tape color to your seat cover's color and drop some style on the tourists.

Bottom Line: Bar tape has nothing to do with alcohol and lonely singles, though maybe it should - hmmm…

Pretty Good

By:

Not bad, nice feel, not as grippy as I had hoped but not horrible, not much padding so if you're into that, look elsewhere, but for my bullhorns, it works perfect

Disappointed

By:

A thin tape that offers minimal cushion against road vibration. Adhesive tends to peel off with the covering paper rather than staying on the bar tape. Fizik only included one bar plug with my tape. If you find this product in a $5 bin somewhere it might be worth it, but there are lots of better brands out there selling for less than what I paid for this tape. No way that I would buy it again.

so good

By:
February 24, 2009

my hands sweat. my hands are small, so i need alot of grip, and it doesnt help that my hands sweat. fizik bar tape is a little more slippery when wet than cork tape... BUT it breathes so nice and feels so good that my hands dont sweat. problem solved.

it is the only tape i put on my bike, and it looks freakin cool

Peels after a while

By:
November 30, 2008

I got this tape for a spare bike I don't use too much, and which I keep in a weatherproof outdoor shed. I put on the tape and was really impressed. After a few months though noticed the tape cracking. It wasn't even winter! I should write the company for a refund! Not recommended unless this was just a fluke or a bad batch.

What's the difference between Microtex and "soft touch"

What's the difference between Microtex and "soft touch" Microtex? Thanks.

I think the soft touch has a slightly cushier feel. Probably not much!

great tape

By:
January 16, 2009

This is a great tape but not for everyone! It is a thin tape with a smoothish finish so it cleans easily (at least blue dose, I don't know about white as I'm not the team leader!) It is good for a carbon bar but you might want to go gel or cork with alloy. Have not noticed cracking but we replace tape every race season. hope this helps.

fizik bar tape

By:

Looks ok easy to wrap but the tape smells so badly of tire rubber and petroleum products that I have to keep the bike outdoors.

Fizik tape

By:
April 18, 2008

Love this stuff!!! Lighter than most, tough as nails and goes on like a breeze. The gel that goes with it is a little heavy, but nice and comfy.

The Best

By:
April 8, 2008

Fitzik bar tape is the best out there. It stretches without breaking and is very comfortable too. I have had various bar tape in the past, but I will never go with another tape. This is the best!!
