Bar Tape Grip Gel

Long renowned for providing comfortable saddles, Selle SMP is entering into another touch point territory that’s sure to bring comfort there as well, handlebar tape. Its Bar Tape Grip Gel is a 3mm thick, High-Performance Polymer tape with a layer of gel underneath that provides plenty of vibration absorption over rougher roads and gravel. Additionally, the micro-perforated pattern offers excellent breathability and grip and works well with or without gloves on and provides an excellent handhold, even in the rain.


Selle SMP's made in Italy Bar Tape Grip Gel is the perfect addition to any bike, especially if it has an SMP saddle on it, and comes with tri-color bar end plugs, extra strips for behind the levers, and finishing tape and is available in the colors Black and White.

Garbage

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

The bar tape ripped as I was applying it, and I wasn't even stretching it that much. Feels very plastic, too.

Quality is not on par

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Firstly, the tape is rolled in a tight wad and stored in the packaging. The back of the tape has mild adhesive on it, and upon rolling out the wad of tape; some of the adhesive pulled part of the front of the tape from its base layer and pretty much ripped the tape from the get-go. This tape is not durable or rip proof compared to other's that I have used. Firstly, it is not well made due to the the fact that the front of the tape pretty much delaminated while being unrolled. Secondly, the tape did indeed rip upon applying mild pressure (which is required to wrap your bars). I would totally return or exchange this tape if I could; however, seeing as how it ripped right out of package, I don't think that is possible. Selle, please stick to saddles. Do not recommend this bar tape.
