When it comes to high-tech bar tape, the grippy Lizard Skins likely comes to mind first.
This time, I'd like to introduce a potential new standard in high-tech bar tape that rivals it.
Supacaz “Super Sticky Kush Tape” 1color: ¥3,780 / 2color: ¥4,410 / Print: ¥5,040
Built around neon colors, this tape features a base made of a special silicone gel that sticks firmly to the handlebars, preventing any slippage. It is highly stretchable, allowing you to wrap it to your preferred thickness and even reuse it. The surface provides a solid grip and is easy to clean, making it recommended for cyclocross as well.
There are 22 colors in total. From single colors to dual colors and logo-printed versions, you have endless options to choose from!
The dual-color options are a chance to show off your sense of style.
Actually, I use it too. Opinions on the colors may be divided, but...
the tape itself feels great in the hand. I feel like Lizard Skins might have a slight edge in grip, but it's not enough to bother me at all. Above all, it stretches well, so you can wrap it firmly around the curves of the handlebars. I think it's also very easy to wrap for those who want to try doing it themselves!
So, what color will you choose?!
