Supacaz Super Sticky Kush Handlebar Review

Someone mentioned this in one of the reviews but I didn't see it before purchasing this bar tape. My main reason for purchasing this bar tape was to get the same color and design as on the product. What I got was the opposite of what I wanted. I was looking for a predominantly black bar tape with a slight color change to keep it from getting dirty. As you can see from the photos after installation it looked like 50/50 black and blue. The caps don't match the color either. The only reason I give

Contrary to some of the other reviews here I got exactly what was advertised and it looks great! There's tape on the bottom to help it stick, but you can still peel it off and try again if you didn't wrap it properly the first time, so don't worry about it having that glue on it. . You can clearly see here that I'm not that good at wrapping the handlebars, but it was still pretty easy and I could do a lot better if I had the time. The end caps are awesome too, just pop them in, you don't have…

Giving 5 stars because Amazon's rating system is inflated. Compared to my favorite bar tape I would give it 4 stars. This tape is very strong and I couldn't even break it on purpose. Except for the transition point between the colors, which I accidentally ripped out after too much trouble (that was my first time taping a steering wheel). But that only applies to the two-tone color (not just the accent color). The color transition is right where most of the switches are. So be careful not to…

.then that's enough for me. The tape has good support and cushioning and looks GOOD on the bike. Let's see how long this lasts. It comes with bar ends and finishing tape. It was my first time winding core tape and I was nervous I was going to screw something up. I watched every YouTube video and was prepared for hours of frustration. However, I have found this tape to wind up very easily if you move slowly and methodically. I did it in less than 30 minutes. What REALLY helped was practicing…

The good news is that the tape is high quality. It's quite expensive but definitely one of the best. The bad news is that what I got is essentially an inverted design and the black side is solid red. I wanted that sleek, stealthy — mostly black fading — red look, but instead I got a ton of solid red that just pops out. Unfortunately I had already removed my old ribbon before opening the box to see the problem so I decided to use this new ribbon. Again, this is a great band, just not at all…
