Brooks Bar Tape

Regenerated leather offers a similar supple, premium texture to full-grain leather but with a slightly more uniform consistency. Because it is crafted from leather scraps and natural binders, it provides a reliable, consistent grip that still develops a beautiful, authentic patina as you ride.

Yes, the tape is designed to stay firmly in place through proper wrapping tension and the included finishing strips. Because it lacks adhesive, you can easily adjust or reposition the tape during installation without leaving any sticky residue on your handlebars.

While 1.8mm is on the thinner side for a sleek, responsive feel, the material's natural composition offers surprising shock absorption. It is ideal for riders who prefer a direct connection to the bike without the bulk of thicker, foam-based tapes.

Because this is a natural material, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water. Simply wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, and occasionally apply a leather conditioner if the material begins to feel dry.

Like most leather products, this tape is durable but not waterproof. It handles light moisture well, but if you frequently ride in heavy rain, ensure the tape is allowed to air dry completely afterward to maintain the integrity of the natural fibers.
