Handlebar Tape

Click here to see our selection of Handlebar Tape.

Handlebar tape is designed to improve the feel and grip of your handlebars. It is especially useful if you have an older bike and the grip of the handlebar is starting to wear. Handlebar tape can help provide a cushion against the shock of vibrations as you climb mountains.

Applying tape appropriately is somewhat of an art, and not as easy as it seems. It requires knowing where to start taping, how much to cut, when to tuck in, and more. Often you will also need insulation tape or bar gel to finish the job. Of course, it is possible to get a professional at your local bike shop to tape your handlebars in most cases, and this might not be a bad idea.

There are several different types of handlebar tape, ranging from polyurethane tape to bike ribbon. Some of these tapes are designed to provide more cushion, whereas others emphasize durability or being waterproof. Depending on what you are looking to accomplish, you have many taping options available.
