Bar tape adds the finishing touches to your pride and joy, you can go for colour coded bar tape or even carbon fibre bar tape, but it's not there just to look good, it actually serves an important function by absorbing road vibration and providing a grippy surface for you to hold onto. Cork tapes offer high levels of road vibration absorption, to get even higher levels of comfort you can use gel pads under the tape on points of regular contact if needed.
Fi’zi:k is the premium, racing brand of Selle Royal S.p.a. Its name is synonymous with the shape and form of the human body; hence the intuitive association with products that are contact points between riders and their bikes. More than this, fi’zi:k represents beauty, speed, passion, freedom for those who race against each other, race against the clock and for enthusiast cyclists around the world who identify with the feeling of the fire of competition. The humble origin in 1996 stemmed from a vision to improve rider performance by creating superior saddle comfort. Today’s Spine Concept™ provides a guideline to help riders find their most comfortable saddle. Integral to this comfort is the design collaboration with professional athletes and the fact that each saddle is 100% “fatto a mano” (hand-made) in Italy. Some credit Fi’zi:k with redefining the racing saddle category thanks to its destructively-innovative elegant products that are not only comfortable, but also a source of style and beauty in their own right. The Arione, launched in 2003 is one such example. In 2006 fi’zi:k launched a product for riders’ hands: a strong, washable Microtex bar tape. Shoes were then launched in 2010 offering a unique blend of innovative materials with an inimitable style. 2014 saw fi’zi:k launch road cockpit components employing The Spine Concept™ to help riders choose their perfect handlebar shape. In 2016 fi’zi:k saddles are ridden by 8 UCI World Tour Teams. Fi’zi:k’s relentless innovation is facilitated by many such committed professional athletes, from all cycling disciplines. Relentless testing and refinement has helped fi’zi:k to push the boundaries of possibility. It will come as little surprise then that Fi’zi:k products have been ridden to many Cycling World titles, Ironman World Championship titles and beyond.

Going by this handlebar tape, MicroTex is a stretch-resistant and breathable material with a rubbery outer layer. Not sure about how breathable it is, but the stretch resistant claim has credibility; it is not that easy to fit without leaving a wrinkle somewhere.
Do it right, however, and you have a good-looking finish to any road bars with a surface that offers a distinct - and agreeable - tactile sensation. It feels good when wet, too, but does not offer much by way of cushioning.
Nor should it be expected to resist a crash; the tape may be tough, but the rubbery finish comes away without much resistance. So, those wanting low-rent utility might want to look elsewhere. Anyone wanting an attractive, grippy, lightweight finish that will last with care but needs careful handling can buy with confidence one of the many shades of MicroTex tape on offer.
Kit includes bar ends and extra strips for behind the brake hoods.
Attractive, comfortable, grippy and colourful bar tape
