Inspired by advances in racing shoe foam and F1 tires, as well as our own research into rolling efficiency, impedance and damping, we realized that new materials technology could enable a significant improvement in handlebar tape. By using a laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon and a viscoelastic adhesive 3M instead of a single foam extrusion, the tape can be optimized across a whole range of desired characteristics. The resulting tape offers a softer, more comfortable feel, better grip on dry and wet surfaces, improved vibration isolation and durability 3 to 5 times greater than existing tape materials. Because the tape wrap can be as important as the tape itself, we’ve also developed a fully adhesive butterfly to better cover the back of the lever clamping area without adding bulk, a high-grip finishing tape and expandable aluminum\/composite end caps to ensure that every detail is perfect. <\/p>\n
Features:
\n– Tour magazine test winner.
\n– 3.75 mm cushioning, similar damping
\nto 5 mm in other tapes.
\n– Laser etched aluminum tip.
\n– 230 cm +\/- 10%
\n– Fully adhesive finishing tape.
\n– Butterfly clamp cover does not add
\nvolume.
\n– SILCA crash replacement program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
