Proof - In a shoot out in the Coveted Tour magazine, SILCA Cuscino tape beats out the likes of the very best from Supacaz, Cinelli, Selle Italia, fizik bar tape and others - see images.
Material - Inspired by advancements in running shoe foam, we utilize a bar tape laminate called SILCAthane, SILAlon and 3M adhesive that is tuned optimally for the best grip and vibration dampening
Size - Our handlebar tape is 2.5 - 3.75mm thick and cut to an extra long bar tape length to ensure fitment on as many widths of handlebar across all road bike and gravel bike setups.
Kit - The kit includes 2 rolls of Cuscino handlebar tape, 2 laser engraved compression bar end plugs, 2 of our patented fully adhesive butterfly clamp covers, and 2 fully adhesive finishing tapes
Why - The handlebar tape is your direct connection to the bike. At SILCA we try hard to make the most out of every ride and the comfort and security of that ride starts with the handlebar tape.
Inspired by advancements in running shoe foam and F1 tires as well as our own research into rolling efficiency, impedance and damping, we realized that new materials technology could allow for a significant improvement in handlebar tape. Using a laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon and 3M Visco-elastic adhesive instead of a single foam extrusion bar tape, Our tape can be optimized across a range of desired features. The resulting tape has a softer, more comfortable feel, higher wet and dry grip, better vibration isolation, and 3-5x the durability of existing tape materials. Since the actual wrap of the tape can be as important as the tape itself, we’ve also developed a full adhesive-backed ‘butterfly’ to better cover the back of the lever clamp area without adding bulk, a high grip finishing tape and expanding aluminum/composite end plugs to ensure every detail is perfect. We can sell you on our tape or you can look at the results from the biggest handlebar tape to date. The Tour Magazine bar tape shoot out in Germany put SILCA as the Test SIEGER! Winner as the best all around tape. Now available in Black, Blue, Red, Pink, Grey, and White in both 2.5 and 3.75mm thicknesses
