Best

Rating:*****

I tried this tape for the first time 3 years ago & will never use another. It is the best looking, easiest to clean and garners all sorts of compliments from fellow roadies. It is long wearing - I can get almost 5000 miles out of it before it starts to look ragged. Haven't tried white until now...will see how this holds up compared to some of the other colors

Seems to dirty quickly

Rating:****

The grip feels nice and is nicely padded. But I would probably stick with darker colors because my blue and red dual color grip seems to dirty quite quickly. I am also starting to see some wear in the stitching around the high wear ares after just a short period. Will have to wait and see on the ultimate durability of the product.

All our bikes have this tape!!

Rating:*****

Our household just loves this tape. It has a nice feel, look, and I don't always wear gloves with my townie so the tape feels so-o-o good against my bare skin. I have the center of my mountain bike bars taped with this which is sick lookiing and has worked well with the enviorments.

Italian Styling and Great Performance

Rating:*****

This bar wrap tape is great. I had issues with other bar tape sliding down the drops after only 1/2 a summer of riding. This stuff hasn't moved a millimeter. Buy It! It looks super high end too - like perforated leather sport seats in a ferrari!

Good tape but don't like the reds

Rating:****

High quality tape with plenty of extra length so you can do the figure-8 around the shifters. However, the red color in the red/white and red black combos tends to be a little pinkish, which is true of a lot of red tapes.

Negative Reviews:

uncomfortable sticky

Rating:**

Not a fan. Overly tacky to my tastes -- more like cheap rubber than the leather it is trying to look like. I am sticking with classic cork.

Neutral Reviews:

Love it, sort of...

Rating:***

It's beautiful. It feels great. I love it.

However, it shows every speck of dirt (at least the blue that I have), and it looses its luster with use...
I've been using a cleaner designed for auto interiors that does a pretty good job of restoring it.

That all said, I would buy it again.
