5.0 out of 5 stars Best handlebar tape on the market, May 2, 2009

Fizik handlebar tape costs about $10 more than the standard "cork" tape you'll get in stores, but it is the best $10 you can spend on a bike accessory.

Looks and feels great, the is extremely durable, even when it gets wet. I wrapped my commuter bike over 2 years ago, and it still looks like it was done yesterday. In comparison, my road bike was done with Cinelli, and two years later it's already worn and must be redone.

4.0 out of 5 stars installation is a pain, January 13, 2010

Bending this stuff to your will & the handlebar is not an easy task. Getting a nice, clean wrap around corners & levers will require considerably more time & effort than for cork tapes, which are usually very forgiving in these areas. You will find that you have to re-wrap corners a couple of times to stretch the tape & get it to lay flat. Fortunately, the tape handles all of this abuse well; I realy leaned into this stuff & felt no sign of weakness or fragility. The tape ends are cut to angles that should make beginning & ending the tape easier, if you wrap for self-tightening, one of these angles is going to make starting the tape a little weird (not to mention that because you have to reverse the wrap either the tops or drops of your bar will not have the color striping). This brings me to the end plugs, mine required a lot of sanding to get them small enough to even fit in my bars, let alone fit in there with bar tape.
Fully installed, my handlebars now look like something out of a Tim Burton movie, it'll be fun for a year but I will be going back to a solid colored tape next year.
So why four stars? These are a challenge to install, but I didn't buy them because they would be easy to install; I wanted the aesthetics & I wanted the solid feeling that they afford. They offer both looks & firmness in spades.

Been using Fizik tape for 5 years or so, this is the best yet! Thick, and durable. I already have the gel pads installed, the combination is awesome. I could see this tape be difficult to install if you didn't know what you were doing due to the tape stiffness. Take your time and you will have a beautiful product.
