Review: Quality, easy-fit bar tape - Ticks in all of the boxes for this Cinelli tape. Super-streachy with some self adhesive coating on the inside makes it really easy to fit for a professional looking result. The textured cork outer surface is soft and grippy with an attractive matt finish, I chose the white colour option with no signs of surface wear or discolouration after a few 60 mile rides. The tape doesn't appear to delaminate when peeled back for cable maintenance, some expensive tapes suffer from this as well as top surface wear at the hoods from gloves, no such issues with the product
Review: Comfortable and easy to fit. - I like this tape. Well cushioned and very comfortable. I additionally liked the two extra strips of cork, which I think are intended to cover the brake's handlebar clamp, but I instead placed them over the top of the handlebar where the brakes begin and where my wrists often sit. The tape was long enough for me to densely wrap the tops of the handlebars for added comfort (I don't do the drops very often). The finishing off tape could have been a little longer and stickier, but that's my only complaint. Will buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable and easy to fit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent for the price
*by E***D on 12 April 2024*

Have tried many far more expensive bar tapes, but for the price this takes some beating. Used this tape to ride the Flanders sportive in the pouring rain and stood up to the task well. Fairly good grip, reasonably comfortable and good to wrap (and re-wrap). Finishing tape is decent enough, but not quite as grippy as the main tape. Overall a very good tape for the price that I'd recommend for most applications.
