ESI Grips Road RCT Wrap

ESI silicone wrap feels noticeably softer and more cushioned than traditional tapes. It has a distinct 'tacky' texture that stays grippy even when wet, though it lacks the slightly spongy, porous feel of cork.

Yes. Because the material is silicone, you can control the thickness by how much you stretch the tape while wrapping. Stretching it more creates a thinner profile, while less tension results in a thicker, more cushioned feel.

Absolutely. Since the ESI Road RCT wrap is non-adhesive, it doesn't leave sticky residue on your handlebars. You can easily unwrap it to access your cables or adjust your cockpit and then re-wrap it without needing to buy new tape.

Yes, the kit includes two long tapes for the main bar sections, two short tapes for the shifter hoods, and two aluminum bar end plugs to secure the ends for a clean, professional finish.

It is excellent for vibration dampening on road and touring bikes. While it significantly reduces hand fatigue on chip-seal roads, riders on extremely rough gravel may still prefer a dedicated gravel-specific tape with higher density foam, though many find the silicone's shock absorption sufficient.
