Deda Elementi Handlebar Tape

After a few months after I put it on my handlebar no problem at all. Good quality material I'm Happy with it

A quality product gets a star here. Easy to use, gets a star here. Great looks, one star here. A satisfactory product from a well-known brand, one star here. The reason I did not give it full points is that unfortunately it causes your hand to sweat more and slip over the handlebars on long rides. Leather straps are better in this respect. If you are thinking of buying one, I recommend that you consider the following

Inexpensive, branded, good quality bar tape. I use a proprietary thin tape as a first wrap and this stuff as a second wrap to provide cushioning on a gravel bike without too much ‘girth’ to the bar. Bars are FSA Omega compact with SRAM Apex levers and the entire setup works well this this taping setup.Many people leave poor reviews simply because they don’t know how to apply bar tape. I’ve tried about 15-20 types over the years and this stuff is top quality. Use electrical tape rather than the bits they include. To double wrap , make sure you cut the existing tape 1cm or so back from the end as leave about 5mm overhang of the second layer to tuck in under your bar plug. Seal the ends with tape and overlap the end plug too.

This is top quality tape, just don’t apply too much pressure as with all tape it tends to tear other wise I can’t fault it, it’s very comfortable and a great shock absorber and above all great value for your money, highly recommend.

It is ok for the money but I've had better for similar costs.This is very rigid and brittle when installing and with minimal pull when wrapping the bars it snapped around the hoods when doing the figure of 8. Also, the adhesive backing is tacky but packs proper adhesion.The wrap itself is quite short and I had to compromise in overlap in order to cover a 44mm wide compact handlebar.The tape provided is nice and the end caps decent.Overall, I think you get what you paid for and the comfort is decent.Better options out there for same price though.

Used to make the handles on my elbow crutches more comfortable after a big knee operation. Worked a dream. Very comfortable, none slip and cushioned. Also at a great price.

This is the stuff I had on my bike previously and as I am changing my brakes and shifters I needed new handlebar wrap. As a disclaimer, I can't really compare this product to other ones as this is the only one I have really had experience with. I have had the old stuff on for well over 3 years. I haven't used it terribly hard. A few 50k rides and many shorter rides, usually under 10k. There was never a problem with adhesion. Of course, it will tear and rip if scuffed around, but I would say that it held up very well. The comfort is about 3 or 4 stars, it isn't really super, but it is decent. I would say that it is good value for your money, particularly for those who don't ride a whole bunch. I can't say what it is like for those who ride more often and longer rides.I am planning a bike trip of about 600k. I will try to update this review if it turns out that the wrap does not do well for the trip.

Used on my 35 year old Raleigh racing bike. I ended up leaving some of the old tape on for additional comfort as it clearly doesn't have a shock-absorbing carbon fork.I was impressed with the results. Several hundred miles ridden so far and it's still going strong with no signs of wear.
