Zipp Unisex's Service Course Bar Tape-Black

Easy to install. Comfortable and I like the fact the grip is not tacky.

Very similar to the old ZIPP bar tape, only slightly thinner, and more comfortable and dampening than anything else out there. I like the narrow 3M adhesive strip making a re-wrap or tight wrap easier. Over the decades ZIPP products have always been very trust worthy.

Initial impressions. I bought this months ago, but yesterday I decided to re-wrap the handlebars on my Pinarello F-10 because the initial wrap from when I took delivery of the bike was starting to look bad. It was easy to apply and I was pleased with the stretchiness, padding, and stickiness. The handlebar end plug seats well. I think it looks terrific. If it stays in place and wears well, I will continue to use this tape. The bike was delivered with Lizard skin tape on it and that only lasted six months and started to stretch and shift leaving gaps in the tape. (I don't know how much of that was caused by the tape brand or a sloppy wrap job). I'll update this review if anything changes.

Speaking from 39 years of training and racing experience, the Zipp stays put.I’ve even unwrapped and rewrapped several times without buying new.

This is the best tape I have used. I like the shock absorption, grippyness, and feel. It’s not a durable as Lizard Skins (although he Cross version is), but I think it performs better than others when wet.

Very easy tape to work with and feels really good but the basic bar end plugs are a disappointment, it's not very expensive tape so not that big a deal I suppose. I won't be buying it again because when I tried removing it the sticky strip had fully adhered to my carbon handlebars so it was impossible to remove cleanly and left a bunch of foam behind. Doing a base layer of electrical tape would solve this problem but for me it's a deal breaker, thankfully Lizard Skins vastly improved their tape with V2 so I'll be sticking with that for now.

I first tried these on my triathlon bike; finding them superior to all the other tapes for grip and comfort. I've since installed these on many tri and TT bikes with rave reviews. There are many other great ZIPP products that I specify on repairs and builds--but none so particularly as these for cockpit control and comfort.

Best tape I've ever used. Tacky without feeling sticky, cleans easy and feels great. I used Fizik medical gel pads under and I couldn't recommend this more!
