Silca Cuscino Bar Tape for Road Bikes | Super Sticky Extra Thick Tape | 2.5mm and 3.75mm Thick | Winner in Tour Magazine | Kit with Thin Clamp Cover and Alloy End Plugs

Inspired by advancements in running shoe foam and F1 tires, as well as our own research into rolling efficiency, impedance, and damping, we realized that new materials technology could allow for a significant improvement in handlebar tape. Using a laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon, and 3M Visco-elastic adhesive instead of a single foam extrusion bar tape, our tape can be optimized across a range of desired features. The resulting tape has a softer, more comfortable feel, higher wet and dry grip, better vibration isolation, and 3-5x the durability of existing tape materials.

Since the actual wrap of the tape can be as important as the tape itself, we've also developed a full adhesive-backed 'butterfly' to better cover the back of the lever clamp area without adding bulk, a high grip finishing tape, and expanding aluminum/composite end plugs to ensure every detail is perfect.

In a shoot-out in the coveted Tour magazine, SILCA Cuscino tape beat out the likes of the very best from Supacaz, Cinelli, Selle Italia, and fizik bar tape, earning the title of "Test SIEGER!" (Winner) as the best all-around tape.

Now available in Black, Blue, Red, Pink, Grey, and White in both 2.5 and 3.75mm thicknesses, our handlebar tape is designed to provide the ultimate in grip, comfort, and vibration dampening. The kit includes 2 rolls of Cuscino handlebar tape, 2 laser-engraved compression bar end plugs, 2 of our patented fully adhesive butterfly clamp covers, and 2 fully adhesive finishing tapes.

At SILCA, we understand that the handlebar tape is your direct connection to the bike, and we strive to make the most out of every ride. The comfort and security of that ride starts with the handlebar tape, which is why we've put so much effort into creating the ultimate solution. Whether you're a road cyclist or a gravel enthusiast, our Cuscino tape is sure to provide the perfect blend of performance and style.
