SRAM Supersuede Bar Tape

This tape has a very soft yet grippy feel to it. Appropriately named supersuede. I have noticed many of the newer (2014+) road bikes seem to come with this kind of tape.Installation was very simple with an adhesive strip about a cm wide running down the center of the tape. This makes it much easier to install vs having the entire width covered with adhesive in case you need to unwind in order to tighten or improve a couple of wraps as you go. For that matter, you could very easily undo and re-use the tape if you were making braking or handle bar adjustments.

The tape is a good thickness with a good amount of stretch, and has a suede-like texture for extra grip, but no one will mistake it for actual suede because it has a plastic-y feel (like a thin closed-cell packing foam sheet).The tape does have the SRAM logo printed on it, but it's printed off center, so you can keep it under the wraps for a logo-less look. This was my first time taping a handlebar, and this tape is very forgiving, had to redo one side 5 times before I got it right, the 3M brand adhesive on the back stayed just as sticky. A bonus is the "S" logo bar end is reflective. I recommend finishing off with a matching color  3M Scotch #35 Electrical Tape Value Pack (10457NA)

This is good tape. I was skeptical at first because I usually use either LS or Arundell tape. This stuff has a great scuff feel to it for gripping. Not tacky......just scuffed up feel which I like. Goes on easy and the only thing this set does not come with is the two pieces of hood tape for easily hiding the hard to wrap exposed area on shifters/brakes. Other than that it is great tape. The bar plugs are not lose like most other brands as well. It has plugs that are plunger type with a few ribs to catch on the tape going in.

Cons:- Get's dirty quickly and stays dirty (I bought the neon green)- SRAM logo is annoying. I really wish companies would stop doing this.Pros:- Installation was easy. The material stretches well and the glue that comes with it seems to hold very nicely even if you make some mistakes while wrapping and have to unwind and rewind a few times.- Good feel. Not as nice as cork or leather, but still not bad.- Low cost.

It was easy to install, being stretchy and re-mountable. The SuperSuede feels nice to the touch (good softness & thickness) and gave the bike a fresh new look. The tape immediately attracted positive attention on the streets. Highly recommended.Used own matching color electrical tape to bind the ends. The included material splashed too much logo.Bike: 2012 Jamis Sputnik (gray) w/ vintage drop handlebars, 26mmx440mm

And it stays nicely grippy even in the rain. I found it easy to wrap, forgiving of mistakes and with plenty left over (if you needed to trim off a piece for the underside of the brake levers). I was a little worried about ordering white, since I seem to attract road grime and flats in equal measure. But it's easy to keep clean: just squirt a little dish soap in a bowl of warm water and use a soft tooth brush to scrub, then wipe with a clean towel. Sparkling white again in no time.

Because I was on a budget, I chose to go with SRAM's SuperSuede Bar Tape (white). The product arrived at my door one day later than Amazon projected (hence the 4-star rating). I installed the tape on my bars and quickly realized that the other reviewers were correct in when they posted that the tape should be about 3-4 inches longer. I was not able to figure-8 the tape around the horns. Thankfully, the hoods covered most of the bare spots left behind from not doing a figure-8 around the horns. I did not like the end caps that they provided, so I reused my Bontrager end caps. When I finished off the wrap, I taped it off with the provided tape. While other reviewers felt that the black finishing tape was not long enough, I felt that the length was fine. I have only taken a couple of rides since installing the new wrap, so I'm not sure about the durability of the wrap at this point. I do like the feel of the super suede tape, but do wish it was a bit thicker. But for the money, it is a very good tape and I wouldn't be afraid to recommend this tape.

Very comfortable an attractive bar wrap. I had Super Sticky Kush tape prior to this. Super Sticky Kush is twice the price and doesn't have the luxury comfort of SRAM Super Swede bar Tape. I highly recommend this beautiful tape!

Never changed the bar tape myself and didn’t realise how easy it was. I have to admit I am a bit OCD so was worried it would take ages to get it out on. But it was so easy and straightforward. All done on my first try. I must admit it looked fantastic when it fist goes on but after a few bike rides it looks a bit dirty (I chose red) but it is comfy and sticks on well.

Ich mag, wie sich das Lenkerband anfässt. Es trägt nicht zu dick auf und nutze es bereits seit längerem immer wieder.

Una vez montadas hacen el manillar muy cómodo. Lastima que el pegamento de la cinta sea tan débil. Se movió la cinta y al volver a montarlo ya fue imposible.
