Road Handlebar Tape
Skimping on some things may go off without a hitch: we likely can’t taste the difference in generic versus name-brand almond milk. However, skimping out on touch points on a bike is a sure way to end a ride cursing our past selves. ENVE’s Road Handlebar Tape provides 3mm of soft comfort to keep hands and bodies content over pavement and off-road miles. Many bar tapes become slippery when wet, making us even more aware of the increasing precipitation or soaring temps, ENVE’s tape maintains its grippy finish when wet, so we can keep a secure and comfortable grip on the bars for that last descent.

Almost awesome

Really liked this but surface wear looks shabby in about 9 or 10 months.Much shorter than other brands I've used. Won't buy again.

Fantastic Handlebar Tape!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I was using a very popular brand handlebar tape on my road bike only to find that it had to be handled with baby gloves to do the initial wrapping and then it fell apart within a year. I went with this Enve tape and installation was an absolute dream. This tape is just as or even more grippy than what I was using before and it is super cushiony! I seriously cannot imagine going to another handlebar tape after using this Enve tape.

Best bar tape ever!
Finally a tape long enough for wide gravel bars. Never have to re-wrap cause there is not enough at the end. Feels great like it's not even there.

Excellent Bar Tape

Purchased this in grey to compliment my new Moonstone Blue Stiggy. It feels great in hands. Just the right amount of cushion, grip, and feel overall. Not too squishy and helps with buzz/vibration. Killer styling as well. Some competitor brands are just as expensive and don't feel as good as the Enve bar tape. Worth the $$$. Haven't yet taken it off road, but so far it's great for road riding. My local bike shop installed it and was so excited and impressed by the Enve bar tape, they were showing it off to other customers who were looking for bar tape. My installer asked to use the extra unused bar tape to wrap baby stroller handles. Would buy again!

Awesome!

I have been cycling for more than 40 years and have experienced all sorts of bar tape. I must say that ENVE's tape has been one of the best bar tapes I have ever used. 1. Looks Awesome 2. Feels superbly comfortable 3. holds its shape and does not expand like leather and cork. I personally recommend it.

Great balance of qualities

I have used about everything available. This bar tape combines a lot of great qualities that are typically only found one at a time. It is long enough for aero and gravel bars. It is cushy like good 2.5 or 3mm tapes, but without being mushy. In other words, I have much more control over the bars. It eliminates high frequency road buzz very well. It is grippy without being too tacky. It feels good on bare hands. It looks great. It wraps well, and it seems very durable. It is a very well balanced tape. I'd love to see more colors though! So far it beats every major brand I have used over the years, including Lizard Skins and Supacaz. This is by far the best tape I have used.
