Cinelli Macro Splash Ribbon Bar Tape

This tape is constructed from a durable cork material designed to mimic the feel and performance of the original 1987 version. It provides the classic, slightly textured grip that traditional cork tape is known for.

Yes, each set comes with the bar tape and a pair of matching bar plugs. You will just need to provide your own electrical or finishing tape to secure the ends.

Because it uses a traditional cork-based material, it offers a reliable, natural grip that performs well even when damp. It lacks the tacky, rubberized feel of modern synthetic tapes, favoring a more classic, tactile connection to the bars.

It offers a moderate amount of cushioning that is consistent with vintage-style bar tapes. If you prefer a highly padded or gel-like feel, you might find this tape thinner than modern, thick-profile options.

Like most cork-based tapes, the color may show some wear or slight fading after extensive exposure to sun and sweat. However, the splash pattern is durable and designed to maintain its aesthetic character throughout the life of the tape.
