While there are now many lineups of high-grip bar tape, new colors have been released for the Lizard Skins bar tape, a pioneer in the field that I personally love using on my CX bike!
Lizard Skins “DSP 3.2 GREEN” & “DSP 2.5 Dual NEON/BLACK” ¥3,800 (excl. tax)
Lizard Skins “DSP 2.5” From left: BROWN, COBALT BLUE, NEON ¥3,600 (excl. tax)
The grip feel, which is comfortable even when riding gloveless, is something you'll definitely get hooked on once you try it.
You can choose from thicknesses of 1.8mm, 2.5mm, and 3.2mm to suit your preference!
These new colors are mainly available in the 2.5mm thickness, but the brown color is my personal recommendation.
By the way, here is how they look compared to BROOKS HONEY (left) and BROWN (right).
As the name suggests, it is closer to brown. Isn't this the model that many of you have been waiting for—those who want a classic color but still demand the functionality of bar tape like grip and cushioning?
One of our CRC members has already chosen it!
They've also swapped in GEVENALLE and SimWorks' Dirty Rhonda, so they're all set for the CX winter season.
As for me, tomorrow I'll be participating in the Kansai CX opening round held at Biwako Miami Land.
I'll be bringing the Sport Crafters Omnium Trainer for warm-ups, so please feel free to say hello if you're interested!
Look for the little guy at 163cm!
