Fizik Tempo Microtex Handlebar Tape

The 2mm thickness is designed for riders who prefer a direct, tactile connection to the bike rather than a cushioned feel. While it offers less vibration damping than thicker tapes, it provides superior control and precision, which many experienced cyclists prefer for long-distance touring.

The Microtex material is durable and has a consistent stretch, making it relatively straightforward to wrap. However, because it lacks an adhesive backing, you will need to rely on the tension of the wrap and the finishing tape to keep it secure, which requires a bit more attention to detail during installation.

The perforated, leather-like surface is designed to wick moisture away, providing a reliable grip even when your hands are sweaty or the weather is damp. While it doesn't have the tacky feel of rubberized tapes, the texture offers excellent traction for confident handling.

Yes, this tape is engineered with extra length specifically to accommodate the wider surface area of large aero and flat-top handlebars. You should have plenty of material to achieve a clean, full wrap without running short.

Absolutely. Because there is no sticky residue left behind, you can easily unwrap and re-wrap the tape if you need to adjust your position or access the handlebars underneath. This makes it a great choice if you like to experiment with your cockpit setup.
