5.0 out of 5 starsGreat looking, firm and durable.
By Some Guy on August 7, 2013
Size: 3mmColor: Yellow Verified Purchase
I got this tape in yellow, in the hopes that it would be more comfy than my cheap cork bar tape and not tear as easily. This has delivered on both criteria pretty easily.

The tape itself has a thinnish layer of foam on the underside, which has a sticky strip strip (not adhesive) down the middle to grip the bar while you wrap. This mean you just wrap the tape tight enough so that it doesn't move and you can undo and re-wrap if you miss a spot. There is a line sewn down off center on the tape which helps a lot to wrap it evenly. I probably wrapped mine too tightly, but there is no concern about ripping the tap while wrapping like there is with cork.

The tape is firm (not so much thin, though) and not cushy or gel-like. For me this is an advantage - on my other bike I have "gel" cork tape which is much cushier, but not more comfortable for me. The longest ride I've ridden on this tape is 105 miles, at around 5 hours and I did not feel discomfort in my hands. I normally wear gloves and the grip of the tape is sure in light rain and somewhat sweaty gloves. I haven't used this is in the heavy rain, or with gloveless and very sweaty hands so I can't comment on the grip when very wet.

The tape has a very high quality, almost leather like look. It's very attractive, and I decided to try a lighter color (yellow) since I was hoping it is washable. I've put about 800 miles on the tape - enough for it to start to darken from use. Using a rag with dishsoap I was able to lighten it back up and clean off grease that I got on the drops. This is pretty hard to do with cork/foam-like tape. The pattern is slightly different than the thin Fizik tape that is normally used with the Fizik gel inserts and the material seems more synthetic leather-like than the microfiber-like feel of the thinner Fizik tape.

I really, really like this tape and think it's probably cheaper than most tape in the long run because of the durability.

4.0 out of 5 starsAlways white?
By T. Harrington on February 4, 2014
Size: 3mmColor: White Verified Purchase
This is the best white bar tape I've ever used. It just keeps staying white! And when it does happen to get dirty, the grime comes off in an instant with a few wipes. I could go on, but it's really that simple.

Only downside (I know!), which was obviously a business decision by Fizik, is that the wrap is slightly too short. I had to re-wrap my bars a few times in order to correctly space the tape so it would reach the top. That was a little frustrating and is something that should not be an issue with a couple more inches of tape. Bad, Fizik! How much money did that save you and how much frustration did you bring your customers with that decision? Anyways, you lose a star for that. No excuses.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat look and feel - easy to keep clean.
By John P. on February 2, 2015
Size: 3mmColor: White Verified Purchase
I'm using the regular white (not the tacky or soft touch) and I love this tape for the way it wraps, feels, and looks. First, with this tape its really easy to wrap a professional looking finish. I cover the logo edge and use the raised seam as a wrapping guide. (You can wrap it the other way, with the logo exposed, but I don't like the look as much. Personal preference.) Pull it snugly as you go - you have to keep it pretty snug especially at the bends so the edges are smooth. I end up with really nice looking bars with virtually identical wrapping on each side. I don't understand the reviews that say its too short. I have done 3 bars with this tape and end up with about 4 inches to cut off. I don't do the figure 8, so maybe that's where people are having some problems. Second, I like the grip and feel of this tape. Prior to this I used the Fizik superlight which felt a little slick and insecure in my hands (nice tape otherwise). This tape has a softer more leather-like feel that works for me. Third, I like the thickness and small amount of padding. The superlight tape was too thin for me - I was getting a little nerve damage in my hand which is totally solved with this lightly padded tape. Fourth, this Fizik microtouch material stays clean. When you get some dirt or grime, it comes right off with a rag and detergent or a mild solvent, if necessary. I like white tape and this stuff stays bright white like it came out of the box. Amazing stuff that way. I always liked the feel and grip of lizard skins 2.5 mm, but that tape gets dirty and I could never get it clean. I highly recommend this Fizik tape.

5.0 out of 5 starsFizik vs. Lizard
By PK9394 on June 10, 2013
I like to change bar tape every year. this is the cheap mod onto the bike to re-fresh the look every year, it can make me feels like I have a new bike!

So, taking off the one years old Lizard Skins dual color (black and green two tone) 2.5mm tape and rewrap with this 3mm Fizik performance tape in Green color. This is the first time I try Fizik tape, the moment I hold the bar after rewrap. I love it already. This tape is 0.5mm thicker than the Lizard skins dual, but I feel about the same. Lizard also had 3.5mm tape.
I like the Lizard skins they hold well and perform good. However, in a very hot day I feel sticky with bare hand. Maybe that's the unique about the Lizard Skin. With glove I like it, but not my bare hand.
As of the Fizik performance tape, It has more like leather feel, but still feel the rubbery touch. However, I don't have the sticky feel on the first ride and temperature is about 90+. Is less grip than the Lizard but still have very good grip with glove or bare hand.

Color option, personally think Lizard win. because Lizard color is on the bright and gloss side and Fizik is in peel and matte.

Price, Fizik win. $10 cheaper than Lizard

Wrapping is easy and everything you need is included in the box

Great bar tape but doesn't work too well if you're using gel pads on your bars as the tape is pretty thick at the center due to the foam layer.
