Easton Microfiber Handlebar Tape

This tape offers a firmer, more consistent feel than gel alternatives. While it still provides effective shock absorption through its foam layer, it avoids the 'squishy' sensation that some riders find distracting or unstable during aggressive handling.

The adhesive is designed to keep the tape secure during your rides without leaving a stubborn, gummy residue on your handlebars. While it holds firmly, you should be able to remove and replace it without needing harsh solvents.

Yes, the microfiber surface is specifically chosen for its ability to maintain traction even when damp. It offers a reliable, tacky feel that helps you keep control of your bike without becoming slippery.

The package comes as a complete kit, including two rolls of tape, a pair of bar end plugs, and the necessary finishing strips to secure the ends neatly.

While it is optimized for road cycling comfort, the shock-absorbing foam provides a good balance of vibration damping. If you prefer a very plush, cushioned feel for extremely rough terrain, you might find it slightly thinner than dedicated gravel-specific tapes.
