Review on Enhance Your Cycling Experience with Black Road 🚴 Bike Handlebar Tape - Wolfride Bicycle Grip Tape (1 Pair) by Brian Kingsford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This Is Great Tape (if that suits you)

If you are looking for an inexpensive tape that reduces "road noise" then this is it. It does an excellent job of reducing vibration. I would say it did more to reduce road noise than going from aluminum to carbon bars. If you're a "funny sausage" then look elsewhere as this tape weighs 120g! For comparison, a set of cork straps that I ordered at the same time weighed 44 grams. In terms of grip, I find it to be about the same as conventional cork straps, maybe a little less. Didn't use it in the rain or on a hot day to rate wet grip. Outwardly I am ambivalent. I really like the carbon fiber pattern, but the finish is a bit shiny for me. I think a matte finish would look better. The lack of adhesive on the back suits me as I have experience with winding bars. I love taking the tape off and correcting areas that aren't as good as I'd like them to be.

Pros
  • Material - Finish: Carbon Fiber Lines; Lining: EVA foam; Fork: plastic.
Cons
  • Some Difficulties
