Deda Elementi Logo Tape: Quality Grips for a Comfortable Ride Review

Poor dry grip, dangerously wet or wet, or heaven when you sweat. I needed to replace the tape on all my bikes and wanted to try something inexpensive. At least it was a trial for only $11.

It will work for now, but definitely not what I expected. Looks good but very little padding, very slick appearance. I'll probably replace it with lizard skins in the future. But again, decent looks and will work for now.

I have wrapped my bull horns in this tape and it works great. Lots of padding has been added and it looks crisp. The tape on the back isn't as strong as I expected, but a thin black ribbon at the end of each plank holds them together and wraps them tightly.

Rod Tape is a matter of personal preference but this is my favorite. It is extremely durable, looks great and can be removed and reinstalled multiple times without cracking. Thanks to the carbon coating, it is extremely easy to clean if you buy it in white.

This product ticks all of my boxes for a steering wheel. Excellent cushioning to reduce the impact of road hazards. Very durable. I use it on my road and cyclocross bikes. It is easily cleaned with detergents or simple soap and water. It doesn't swell either. I've been using them exclusively for a few years.

This is a review installed straight out of the box. The design of the bands out of the box is the same as in the marketing image. It can be washed, unlike foam. The adhesive properties are good. Flexible, makes installation easy, but strong enough to get a tight wrap. Please note this is a thin tape which does not offer shock protection but is good value for money.

Used to repair/replace rubber grips on my lawn mower. Once installed it is 10x better than the grip material that came with the machine. I strongly suspect that this new grip sleeve will last longer than the mower itself. It is very comfortable to hold and even dampens vibrations slightly. I am satisfied with this product and will consider it for other uses.

I used black carbon tape for the bars before. Easy to apply and durable. But it will break if stretched too much. I learned it the hard way. A bit slippery in hot weather when hands sweat. It's also a bit thick for my taste. I went back to Cinelli Cork Gel. I prefer a little cushioning and this material is almost zero. It's funny how you can use things for years and then suddenly I don't like them anymore.

Like this bar tape. For me it's very strong once applied to the bars and its edges are stronger than the softer sponge tape I've used in the past. However, I am comfortable with the bar tape because I install it myself. To keep the tape in place, I keep changing the position of my hands on the handlebars while riding to keep the tape from moving from constant pressure on an area on the handlebars. So keep this in mind if you have constant tape movement issues, especially in hot weather. This…
