The Best

Rating:*****
This is bar none, the most comfortable bar tape out there. It's spendy, but it just feels so nice on your hands. I really don't understand the need for Fizik's gel; this stuff just feels so nice and allows you a solid purchase on the bars.

It also comes in nice colors, too, and though I know it's vain and shallow, I just love having bar tape that matches my frame. Black is all well and good, but red bar tape with a red frame just looks so nice.

Best bar tape out there

Rating:*****
I have Fizik bar tape on a couple road bikes and -- given a choice -- will use only Fizik. It's not that some of the other tapes such as Cinelli are bad, but for me, the Fizik tape has the perfect combination of: a smooth but non-slip surface; being just thick enough to prevent numbness but not too thick (like some Bontrager tape); great looks; and "wrapability." Simply the best.

great tape

Rating:*****

This is a great tape but not for everyone! It is a thin tape with a smoothish finish so it cleans easily (at least blue dose, I don't know about white as I'm not the team leader!) It is good for a carbon bar but you might want to go gel or cork with alloy. Have not noticed cracking but we replace tape every race season. hope this helps.

so good

Rating:*****

my hands sweat. my hands are small, so i need alot of grip, and it doesnt help that my hands sweat. fizik bar tape is a little more slippery when wet than cork tape... BUT it breathes so nice and feels so good that my hands dont sweat. problem solved. it is the only tape i put on my bike, and it looks freakin cool

The Best

Rating:*****

Fitzik bar tape is the best out there. It stretches without breaking and is very comfortable too. I have had various bar tape in the past, but I will never go with another tape. This is the best!!

Review Title

Rating:*****

Great stuff for those of us who like a grippy, but firm, bartape. FYI, you will have to wrap these tight as hell to keep it from bunching up on tight bends (e.g. ergo or compact bars).

White is tight

Rating:****

I grabbed some of this white bar tape because it is the bomb. Good luck trying to find white bar tape anywhere else! It shipped fast in time for the weekly crit!

Pretty Good

Rating:****

Not bad, nice feel, not as grippy as I had hoped but not horrible, not much padding so if you're into that, look elsewhere, but for my bullhorns, it works perfect

Fizik tape

Rating:*****

Love this stuff!!! Lighter than most, tough as nails and goes on like a breeze. The gel that goes with it is a little heavy, but nice and comfy.

Pretty Ownage

Rating:*****

Overall, the grip is pretty ownage. Even after leaving it out in the rain, it still sticks, so plus plus. Wo0t wo0t!

Disappointed

Rating:**

A thin tape that offers minimal cushion against road vibration. Adhesive tends to peel off with the covering paper rather than staying on the bar tape. Fizik only included one bar plug with my tape. If you find this product in a $5 bin somewhere it might be worth it, but there are lots of better brands out there selling for less than what I paid for this tape. No way that I would buy it again.

Peels after a while

Rating:**

I got this tape for a spare bike I don't use too much, and which I keep in a weatherproof outdoor shed. I put on the tape and was really impressed. After a few months though noticed the tape cracking. It wasn't even winter! I should write the company for a refund! Not recommended unless this was just a fluke or a bad batch.

fizik bar tape

Rating:**

Looks ok easy to wrap but the tape smells so badly of tire rubber and petroleum products that I have to keep the bike outdoors.
