BUCKLOS Bike Handlebar Tape for Road Bike, Bicycle 3mm Thick EVA Padded Bar Tape,PU Handle bar Grip Wrap for Gravel Bike Cycling

The blue is color is really blue and looks exactly like it is shown in the pictures. I always had misrepresented colors in other brands so kudos this one.The grip and comfort is good for the price. Its nowhere close to expensive bar tapes from name brands but here is the thing, I would rather have new bartape every few months than have one bartape for years. No matter how soft and comfortable expensive bartapes are, they get dirty and start looking bad. I have started using these disposable bartapes since last few years and perfectly happy with them - this seems no exception.The length is just enough for 420mm handlebar though and will be a problem on anything larger than that.

If you're into cycling (or even if you're not, but you have a bike), it's nice to refresh your bike with new handlebar tape. It's one of three contact points between you and your bike, and it's arguably the most noticeable one since it's staring you in the face every time you ride your bike. Sweat, weather, and wear all conspire to make your tape look a little less than pristine over time.Luckily, it's a fairly quick and relatively inexpensive "upgrade" and this Bucklos tape seems to be up to the task. It's both cushy and grippy. The pattern on it is subtle as is the Bucklos logo, thankfully, so it won't scream out that you are savvy enough not to pay 3-4x the price of this tape just so you can advertise some other more mainstream cycling brand on your handlebars.I get that someone that just shelled out $10,000 for a top of the line Pinarello may turn up their nose at a no-name bar tape. But not me. This feels like a tape that will perform just fine. This set includes bar plugs (yes, they have the Bucklos logo on them, but you always have the option of re-using the ones you have) as well as two decent strips of tape to finish off your new wrapping job.At this price, I'd say this is one of the least expensive ways you can get back some of that new bike feeling, and that's a good value!

I have spent twice as much for bar tape that was no better than this. The expensive bar tape has a known company logo on it, so if that is important, you can pay the higher cost. I will stick with this.The tape is thick enough to offer padding and comes in a variety of colors. It provides a decent grip when sweating.The tape does not have the usual short piece for wrapping the shifters, but there was plenty extra in the roll to cut a piece off for that purpose.

The color looks remarkably like the photos. (I've bought many red ones that look very different in person). Texture is nice. A synthetic foam product not leather but that's what it is. Padding is appropriately thick but not excessive.

Do NOT get the white grips! Maybe avoid anything but the dark colors. Before I could even use it, red color smudged off my fingers and onto the tape! All I did was touch the bucklos packaging, and my hands were freshly cleaned!I tried washing it off and rubbed out with iso 90%... It just smeared evenly and wouldn't come out. If you use this tape, it will look HORRIBLE in no time. Maybe the worst white tape I've encountered to date. Also, it's marketed as waterproof... But it says absorbent on the packaging? Huh? Sure enough, it holds in water almost like a sponge. Not a fan of that, especially if sweat is involved.On the plus side, it's super trippy on the hand, and quite plush. It's also strong (I couldnt rip it by hand). I just wish I hadn't picked white.

This tape has just enough sticky to keep it in place while not leaving stickum erewhere.It doesn't work for my bars because my motorcycle has lots of high-tech accoutrements. It took some serious pulling to break it while I was trying to get it under the break cylinder. But alas, no.I wish it did work on my bike because this tape is good looking and has a very flat black finish which prevents the reflections I'm trying to cure. Ah, well - I'll find some that does.

This bar tape is an acceptable upgrade over standard cork tape, I think there are grippier premium options. The texture on the tape does help with improving grip, but the underlying material is still pretty standard cork feel. If you store your bike in a dusty area be aware that it will pick up more dust than standard cork tape. For my cyclocross bike, I think it’s worth spending a little more for a tape made of premium tacky material instead of just being textured. However, this might be a good choice to refresh a budget road bike.

Nice texture for gripping your handlebar, with a simple attractive pattern. The tape is soft and flexible, with a strip of sticky tape on the inside to make wrapping easier. The package comes with everything you need including end plugs, and two short strips of tape for finishing off and securing the end of the wrap on the top of your handlebar. This tape is a great way to make your bike look, handle, and feel like new.
