Bike handlebar wrap comes in a wide variety of textures and thicknesses. The best road bike bar tape is the tape that suits your individual needs and of course matches your bike. Thicker bar tapes generally provide more shock absorption and comfort while thin textured tape provides better grip. There are a variety of backings such as gel or foam that also provide shock absorption. Some bar tapes are designed to provide gloveless grip even when your hands are sweaty. Looking for just the right color? Check out our Lizard Skins line which has the widest variety.
