Portland Design Works Wraps Bar Tape

At 2.0mm, this tape is on the thinner side, which is designed to provide a direct, responsive feel of the bars. It offers enough cushioning to dampen road vibration without making the grip feel bulky or disconnected.

Yes, the silicone construction is naturally non-porous and resistant to sweat and grime. You can easily wipe it down with a damp cloth to keep the patterns looking fresh.

Silicone is excellent for grip, even when wet. The material maintains a tacky, secure feel in rain or humidity, which helps keep your hands stable on the drops and hoods.

Silicone tape has a different stretch and feel compared to traditional cork or synthetic tapes. While it is durable and flexible, it requires a steady hand and consistent tension to ensure a smooth, overlap-free installation.

The designs are integrated into the material, making them quite durable against sun exposure and friction. While all bar tape eventually shows signs of wear, this silicone material is chosen specifically to hold its color and pattern longer than standard foam options.
