One of the nicest bar tapes
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit
"Yep, this is good bar tape. You'll either like it or not. The feel isn't cork and isn't vinyl but if you like to ride gloveless you will love the grip. Does attract dirt, but not as bad as cork, and a bit of Nifti does get about half of it off. Very easy to wrap the bars too, it's very workable around the hoods etc. Comes with two nice fat bits to put on over the shifter clamps prior to wrapping too which is nice."

Excellent Professional Bar Tape
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, High Quality, Rugged, Versatile
Cons: Expensive, no instructions
"Used this tape to replace 4 year old cork tape that had disintegrated. Following instructions on the Park Tools website, the tape was easy to fit and I was able to pull the tape tight without the risk of it tearing. Black insulation tape was used to hold cables in place before winding and to finish ends near stem. The tape looks excellent on the bike, is really padded and comfortable and maintains a good grip even when your hands are wet. Being synthetic, I expect it to be a lot more durable than the previous cork tape. It comes with bar end plugs and strips to go around brake handle clamps. Best tape I've ever used; expensive but worth it. Highly recommended."

comfy but wore out too quickly
Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight
Cons: Wears Out Easily
"Very pleased when I first received and fitted this bar tape, very comfortable and great finishing tape. However after a few months of use the tape compressed quickly over only a week or two. This may have been due to me riding without gloves when the weather warmed up, Sweat could have caused a break down of the foam."

Great bar Tape
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"Excellent feel and comfort. My first time wrapping my own tape and it was easy. Certainly long enough. The finishing tape to cover the electrical tape is a really nice touch. Maybe more $$ but certainly worth every penny. Bars look and feel great."

Overall:

Date:January 28, 2012
"Generally really good tape - it's easy to apply, easy to clean, pretty grippy, looks good, wide range of colours if that floats your boat.
Only niggle I have is it's slippery when wet! (despite the manufacturer's claims). This is fine as long as you're wearing gloves, but I don't always bother to put my gloves on when racing sprint distance triathlons."

Primo
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality
Cons: Expensive
"Early days for the tape, but so far so good. Not cheap, but feels like a premium product. Has a slightly rubbery feel about it, makes me want to ride it without gloves! Plenty of length so you don't have to scrimp putting it on."

Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable
Cons: Expensive
"Lizard Skins is definitely the best bar tape I've ever used.
The rubberised surface feels nice to the touch and keeps great contact with gloves even when wet. It also looks much nicer than cork, adding a bit of bling.
The adhesive retains it's stickiness after many times of rewrapping allowing you to alter your levers and recycle the same length of tape (I've found that cork tapes can maybe be recycled once or twice at best).
Yes this stuff's more expensive, but I always recommend it to my mates."

"Still getting used to this, and keen to see behaviour in wet and in the longer term for wear/tear and cleaning: so far not one complaint. Best bar tape I've tried... would like to have had the choice of some of the two tones released recently... next time!"

Very grippy...very comfortable
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, grippy
Cons: Expensive, Wears Out Easily
"This bar tip creates a really comfortable ride, absorbing road buzz really well. It is also very grippy, even when the rain pours down (from hard experience) you never feel at risk of your hands slipping off. I wouldn't use anything else now. The only downsides are that it is not the cheapest and it is not very hardy so be careful not to knock it or else it can be damaged quite easilly."

Bar tape-it DOES make a difference!
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality
"I have had many different types/brands of bar tape in my years of cycling. This was the first time with Lizzard skins DSP tape. I had seen this on a friends bars and was impresed with the grippy feel. Last think you want is a slick/slippery surface when cornering/sprinting in hot sweaty conditions.The DSP tape has a level of padding which is great for comfort/vibration damping in all but a Paris-Roubaix type parcours."

The best bar tape out there!
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality
Cons: Expensive
"Tacky feel, great textured look, in my opinion the best bar tape available. I love this product. Fairly thick for a cushiony feel. I have this grip coupled with gel pads underneath for a heavenly ride. Highly recommended!"
