BV EVA Road Bike Handlebar Tapes, Bicycle Bar Tape, Cycling Handle Wraps – 2 Rolls

I have bought this in the past, and it continues to be high quality. Easy install, comfortable, and long lasting.

First time ever wrapping road bike handlebars and this tape made the process way easier than I expected. The material feels really high quality, stretches nicely, and was forgiving for a beginner. It wrapped cleanly and came out looking professional on my Fuji road bike. The grip feels comfortable and secure while riding too. Really impressed with how good it looks and feels for the price. Definitely recommend for both beginners and experienced riders.

This tape isn't Cinelli, Deda, or Fi'zi:k, but it's not supposed to be. This is most certainly a budget tape that's meant to get the job done in the most boring way possible. Would I use this on my main racing bikes? Absolutely not. However, it's perfectly fine tape for my rain and gravel bikes. Several people have complained that the tape breaks either while wrapping or after a short period of use. I've also seen people complain that the 3M backing to the underside of the tape is hard to get off. Finally, I've also seen people complain that you don't get two separate small strips of tape to place behind your levers. So: 1. If you break this tape, it's because you're wrapping it absurdly tight. This tape is very stretchy and flexible, there's no way you should break it. 2. The 3M backing is a little bit of a pita to get off but only so in terms of it tends to break off from itself and you need to get it started again. It's not hard to remove and the sticky backing underneath the backing absolutely does NOT want to come off with the backing as I saw one person say. 3. Yes, it is nice to have two strips of tape for behind levers when wrapping, but it's not necessary. Simply run a figure eight around the levers and you're good to go. Also, the listing didn't mention the strips so I have no idea why anyone would expect them. I assure you, if a kit comes with those strips, it's mentioned. Look, this tape isn't fancy, it's budget priced, plain tape. For this price point, it's perfect fine and a good buy. If you happen to find Cinelli tape for the same price when you look, buy the Cinelli. However, Cinelli isn't on sale at the moment and this is probably the cheapest decent take you can get. The one issue I had with the tape is that it's listed at .10 thick and it is, but only in the middle and it tapers very thin on the sides. That was definitely slightly misleading. However, it's a wide tape and you get 82 inches per strip, so just wrap it thick likeI did and you'll have decent padding. Finally, this is very forgiving, flexible tape. I wrapped both sides of my bars, start to finish, in less than 8 minutes. In closing, if you come upon this tape and read my review, type Cinelli in your search and see if it's on sale for the same or less than this tape. If it is, buy that. If it's not, buy this and don't go any cheaper because there's a whole lot of horrible cheaper tapes on this site.

**update** moving from 4-5 star, while its not the most comfortable tape out there, I've put a few hundred miles on including a couple 3 hour rides over the past 4-5 weeks. I will change it, just haven't gotten around to it, so it can't be that bad. First time wrapping bars so I was looking for cheap practice. This fit the bill. I learned some lessons, it went on pretty easy, had enough tape, and it looks good. It comes with finishing tape, but do not stretch the finishing tape very much or it wont hold. I didn't expect much for the price but this has everything you need (bar ends, finishing tape, and strips to go around the back of the brifters). The only con is this tape is uncomfortable to ride with 1+ hours. if you are used to some padding, which i am, so ill be changing it soon.

Easy to install. Very comfortable.

The bar tape is not bad, pretty comfortable, my mistake for not noticing but it does not include the extra piece to cover the bake clamps.

Great product and great price. Durable

Very Nice and not that expensive

Great bar tape - soft and spongy - perfect for tougher riding conditions / winter training.
