Service / Ownership Context
This tape is easier to wrap than adhesive-backed options due to the silicone gel layer. It can be repositioned during installation without tearing. As with most lighter-weight tapes, wear typically appears first near the hoods and high-contact areas.
Fit & Use Signals
- Good fit for road riders who want moderate cushioning
- Good fit for clean aesthetic builds
- Good fit for riders who prefer easier tape removal during service
- Not a fit if you want maximum thickness or heavy damping
- Not a fit for flat-bar bikes
This is more of a balanced, traditional road tape compared to the 3.5mm Endurance version.
We usually recommend this for:
Road bikes
Riders who want comfort but still feel connected to the bar
Clean aesthetic builds where tape pattern matters
At 2.5mm, it’s noticeably thinner than endurance tape but thicker than race-thin options. Good middle ground.
Silicone backing is a plus:
Easier to re-wrap if you mess up
Doesn’t leave heavy adhesive residue
Makes bar swaps cleaner later
One thing to watch: 2000mm length is slightly shorter than some endurance tapes. On wide gravel bars with flared drops, you need to wrap efficiently or it can get tight near the stem.
Wear tends to show at:
Top of hoods
Outside of drops
Thumb contact zones
Not the best choice for riders complaining about hand numbness—that’s where we push them to thicker 3–3.5mm tape.
This tape is about balanced comfort and clean looks, not maximum padding.
For customers switching from OEM tape, this is usually a noticeable comfort upgrade without feeling bulky.
