Why fi’zi:k bar:tape?

The importance of using the correct tape is all too often overlooked. As the primary contact point between rider and bike, the hands on the bars are crucial for control, and the interface between the hands and the handlebar is determined by the characteristics of the tape.  That’s why fi’zi:k’s bar:tape enables you to select the perfect texture and padding type to create the optimum contact between you and your ride. The best materials and techniques are used to make a tape that feels so natural you’ll forget it’s there! fi’zi:k bar:tape is available in a choice of padding thicknesses – to suit every ridefrom crit-race sprints to all-day tours.

There’s a choice of finishes from soft touch to tacky touch – to suit all conditions and grip requirements. And there’s an amazing array of colors to suit every bike, club and rider’s preference.  Materials and technologies - Every fi’zi:k bar:tape is made using Microtex so they are breathable, lightweight, durable and easy to wash. Superlight tapes are 2mm thick, providing optimum feedback for razor-edge control. 3mm thick performance tapes give more comfort for longer rides or rougher road conditions.  The dual touch is a new addition to the fi’zi:k bar:tape range this year, giving you the best of both worlds.

Fi’zi:k’s tacky compound tape is used on the handlebar’s drops – giving you extra grip during sprints and descents – while our classic compound is applied on the tops for a cool and comfortable feeling while climbing.  Our Classic tapes take a retro perforated aesthetic anduse it to create increased breathability and all-weathergrip for confident handling even in the hottest or wettest conditions. The Microtex doesn’t rip or ripple even if you’re twisting your bars off your bike trying to wring out every last watt on a brutal climb or in the final meters of a finish line battle.  3mm thick ‘Performance’ or 2mm ‘Superlight’ options fill your hand with fatigue-easing padding, or put ultimate feedback in your palm.  Some situations require a specialist solution so fi’zi:k cover all your bar wrap needs.  Superlight Glossy tapes look incredible when new and clean up like new with ease: great for updating your carbon race bike or curating a classic for L’Eroica.  Tacky Touch tapes can make the difference to help you slot that crucial muddy gloved final corner overtake in a ’cross race, or rip a crit race line with sweat-soaked mitts.  Our Dual Touch tape technology seamlessly combines the best of both worlds to wrap you ready for every situation.
