Ergon BT Orthocell Pad

Unlike traditional gel tape, which can compress and lose its shape over time, the OrthoCell foam is engineered for long-term durability and consistent shock absorption. It provides a more stable, supportive feel that doesn't bottom out, effectively reducing hand fatigue on longer rides.

The pads are only 2.5 mm thick, which is designed to provide significant vibration damping without making the bar feel bulky or difficult to grip. Most riders find the added diameter actually improves ergonomics, especially for those with larger hands.

The four-piece set is designed to be highly adjustable and fits the vast majority of road, gravel, and all-road handlebars. Because they are placed under the tape, you can trim or position them to suit the specific geometry of your bar's drops and tops.

Yes, the pads are designed to be durable enough for multiple installations. As long as you carefully remove your old handlebar tape, you can reuse the OrthoCell inserts when you wrap your bars again.

No, you can use any standard handlebar tape you prefer. The pads sit underneath, so they will work with whatever grip texture or thickness you choose for your final wrap.
