Cinelli Cork Gel Bicycle Handlebar Tape in Multiple Colors

I really like this tape. It's easy to put on, thick and soft, pliable with enough stretch to get it tight around your hoods, and just comfortable to ride with. The thickness can make it a bit of a challenge to put bar end caps in once you've finished the job, but that's honestly the biggest downside in my experience. I now have this on both of my bikes, and would likely buy again if I find myself in a spot where I need to replace my bar tape.

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!

The tape itself is wonderful. Beautiful color, gripy, and supportive. The plugs on the other hand are small, shallow, and unusable. I like the tape better than SuperCaz, but they include far superior plugs. I kept the tape but bought new plugs.

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!

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.

old school cork feel, durable & stretchy during installation. Love the retro white

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.
