Review on SRAM Supercork Bicycle Bar Tape: The Ultimate Grip and Comfort Solution by Cory Miles

Revainrating 5 out of 5

SRAM knows how to do it.

Stapling what the strip tape should be. They feel good in hand and hold up well, they stay put, but if you replace a brake lever or change handlebars they come loose firmly, making them easy to reuse. They also deliver fast, they came to me in 3 days, even Revane thought that day would come later, but apparently they were the first to come here from all my order. Pretty easy to install if you know what you're doing (I'd recommend watching a YouTube video if you're not sure. It came with bar ends that pretty much matched my bars (31mm) and didn't are too hard to pull out or of course like some of the cheaper ones have patches for your brake lever mounts as well as a black band covering your starting point. Decently thick so it offers comfort for gravel rides or a fixed gear bike Pretty long rod band, you will have some stock if you want to double wrap some of the handles. Generally typical cork rod band but rubberized rod band and cork aren't really a comparison.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • No performance
