Awful

Can’t stress this enough - do NOT spend your money on this stuff. Fizik should be ashamed that they even produce it. Feels incredibly cheap. Lack of stretch means you have lumps under wraps because the wrap under it just pinches at the back. BARELY enough to wrap my aero bars that have a design that ends the wrapping area just above the hoods….. awful. Can’t wait to get this stuff off of my bike.

short stretch of colored stripeing not how pictured. Yucky to touch. Solid black part looks and feels like dollar store electrical tape. Quickly went to trash. Cheers, RB

Way too slippery

Very slippery with sweaty hands. It might be ok outside with gloves but I put this on my bike on the trainer this winter and it is extremely slippery.

Solid tape for regular road bars

First, this tape looks pretty nice because it is shiny and has some contrast but due to the lines and stiff material, it can be tricky getting it to look perfect. Cork is somewhat more forgiving and softer. This material is relatively stiff and can be pretty hard to wrap just right with the folds creating gaps if you're not using just the right technique. The thin nature of this tape could lead to it "rolling up" on the edges if you don't get your edges tight and even so it was a bit tricky wrapping it without too much overlap and having it run the full length of my track bar. The tape is pretty tacky and reminds me of tennis grip tape. I wouldn't run this on a gravel bike as it probably won't last very long due to the thin and delicate nature of the material.
