BUCKLOSBike Handlebar Tape for Road Bike, Bicycle 3mm Thick EVA Padded Bar Tape,PU Handle bar Grip Wrap for Gravel Bike Cycling

This provides decent cushioning and the red is vibrant and true. It doesn't stretch as well as some other tapes I have used, so it was a little more difficult to get it to sit nicely on the bars. Also, the adhesive will pull the tape apart so don't let the back touch the front anywhere unintended as you are installing it (and don't try to redo any portions). The patterning is interesting, but I do wish the sides of the tape were red, not white, as I have a print and a stripe now on my handlebars. Given the price, these are acceptable, minor flaws. Overall, the tape does the job. The plugs for the end of the handlebars are better than my old ones in terms of staying in place, so that is excellent.

These are about as good as the $20 options found at bike shops. They are light, adequately thick and grippy, and the adhesive backing makes them easy to install. For my taste I like a bit more cushion, so I pre-pad my bars at critical locations with strips of 1/16” thick EVA foam, then wrap over it with this handle bar tape. Good tape, recommended.

The color looks remarkably like the photos. (I've bought many red ones that look very different in person). Texture is nice. A synthetic foam product not leather but that's what it is. Padding is appropriately thick but not excessive.

I have spent twice as much for bar tape that was no better than this. The expensive bar tape has a known company logo on it, so if that is important, you can pay the higher cost. I will stick with this.The tape is thick enough to offer padding and comes in a variety of colors. It provides a decent grip when sweating.The tape does not have the usual short piece for wrapping the shifters, but there was plenty extra in the roll to cut a piece off for that purpose.
