Bicycle handlebar tapes
Handlebar tapes
— a special tape for wrapping handlebars, usually made of suede or another soft and relatively thick material. The main functions of such tape are to dampen vibrations and provide a good grip for the hands on the handlebars. It’s worth noting that in most handlebars, these functions are performed by grips (see "Parts"); however, tape is used on road bikes and other specific handlebars where, due to the design features, separate grips cannot be installed.Show
