Design rubs off fast
I ride with and without gloves, and the chevron pattern rubbed off after about 200 miles of use

It’s fine

Looks cool and it’s pretty supple/comfortable but it moves around a lot and the pattern wore off in the first week on the contact points. Probably wouldn’t by again

Nice Wrap

The tape has a gentle stretch that makes installation easy. The slight stretch keeps it in place without adhesive backing. It's appearance give a kind of disruptive pattern to your handlebars. The length is long enough for road bars, but may not be enough for wide gravel bars. The tape itself is comfortable. It does not have a gel backing beneath the tape, but it is actually a gel cork. This allows it to lay flatter and thinner. Though the tape seems thin, it is comfortable and grippy. I knocked off a star because the package only included one cheater strip. I don't use them, but that is a QC problem.

The white lines fade

The graphic faded away after about 200 miles for me, but if you don’t mind that, it’s otherwise nice tape. Grippy.

Worn out after about 400 miles

The white started to fade and the wraps were coming apart after 400 miles. I do like the feel which is why I’m going with 2 stars.

Great Tape

Great tape. It is comfortable and looks good. I am usually traditional black. This is stretching my limits. Have a great day.

Very compliant, super soft to the touch.

Super plush, helps to eat up road chatter and sharp looking to boot. Bontrager did a great job designing this bar tape.

Fun & Functional

Soft and stretchy but durable, with snazzy lightening bolt design that makes my bike look much sharper.
