Brooks Microfiber Bar Tape

Yes, it is well-suited for gravel. The 3mm thickness provides enough vibration dampening to handle rougher surfaces, and the tacky, perforated texture ensures you maintain a secure grip even when the terrain gets bumpy.

The adhesive strip is designed to keep the tape securely in place during installation and use, but it is not permanent. You can unwrap and re-wrap the tape if you need to adjust your position, though you should be careful to avoid tearing the material.

The microfiber material features a tacky, perforated surface specifically engineered to maintain traction. It performs reliably in damp conditions, offering a consistent feel that prevents your hands from slipping.

At 3mm thick, this tape strikes a balance between road feel and comfort. It offers enough EVA foam padding to reduce fatigue on long rides without feeling overly bulky or disconnected from the handlebars.

The included bar end plugs are designed to fit standard drop-bar diameters. They provide a clean, secure finish, but if you have bars with an unusually thick wall or specific internal diameter requirements, you may need to use your existing plugs.
