Over the years I have tried other bar tapes when I think Cinelli is getting too expensive or not keeping up with the times. I have repeatedly been proven wrong. Cinelli Cork Tape is as much cushioning as I can expect. It is easy to apply, I never run out. I think their finish tape is a step above others, it is longer wider and has a texture to it.

Great Tape
by Anonymous
Cycling Enthusiast
Glasgow, MT
I bought this bar tape to add some color to one of my old steel bikes I was modernizing with new stem, bars, and shifters. This tape was easy to install and is very supple when riding. I did have to re-wrap the bars after a few weeks of riding (not because of the tape, but because of a brake cable issue). The tape did tear a little where the sticky stripe under the tape contacted the over lapped edge of the tape. Not a big deal but something to keep in mind.

Cushy bar tape
Fairly thick and cushy tape stretches well to go on easily around the hoods. I'm not super happy ordering bright orange - it seems like a construction zone on my bar

Great bar tape.

The kit includes everything needed to re-tape your bars. It is on the thicker side, and I wrapped my bars on the tight side, making the build even thicker. I mostly ride on the hoods, so I'm usually experiencing the tape when on the drops. The padding is nice, and the grip, combined with my gloves, seems good. I appreciate the added bar width, making the bar easier to grasp and shift positions on while reducing some of the pressure on the hands. Overall a good product. No regrets.

Good quality bar tape that has been around the block, but is not out of style. Comes in a multitude of colors, and feels great to touch in any situation.

Although the finishing tape didn�t seem to hold well for me, I used another option. That said, it didn�t take away from the quality of the bar tape.

More comfortable and stays cleaner than Lizard Skins
by Tracey.Heil

This replaced the mint green Lizard Skins bar tape that I previously had on my bike. Love the Cinelli - my new favorite. It's comfortable with decent grip without being a dirt/grime magnet. Will definitely buy again.

Better than any bar tape on the market.

Superior comfort and grip. Doesn't leave your hands sweaty. My rides average around 50 miles on mostly chip seal. This bar tape truly helps absorb some of the vibration. My hands never feel fatigued even after a 100 mile ride.

Hard to beat classic Cinelli cork bar tape - it's easy to install, east to clean and lasts. I like it better than more synthetic variations for staying dry when its hot and I'm sweating.

Cushioned and durable
by Kppp

I've had this for a few months now and I really like the cushioning on the tape. It has a high-profile, and does increase the radius of the bars by a few mm noticeably. Does well in wet conditions, drys out pretty quick.

I know there are higher-tech, (much) more expensive handlebar tapes out there, but this stuff just flat works. It looks great, right amount of cushion and great grip. Not much else I need from my handlebar tape.
