Description
Cinelli Gel Handlebar Tape: engineered for Endurance Cyclists
Designed for riders prioritizing comfort without compromising control, this handlebar tape integrates a Vibra-Absorb gel layer directly beneath its surface to dampen road vibrations and reduce hand fatigue during long rides or rough terrain adventures. The core material combines 70% natural cork with a polyurethane base for breathable grip retention in wet or sweaty conditions—ideal for road cyclists, gravel grinders, and mountain bikers seeking ergonomic performance upgrades.
Key Benefits:
– Vibration Reduction: Gel cushioning absorbs 50% more impact than standard cork tapes (lab-tested).
– Sweat-Resistant Grip: Cork’s porous structure wicks moisture while maintaining tackiness at 40-100°C temperatures.
– Noise Suppression: Quiets handlebar chatter caused by frame flex or loose components on bumpy trails.
What’s Included:
✔️ 10-meter roll (pre-cut for standard drop bars)
✔️ Anti-slip end plugs (2 pairs)
✔️ Silicone finishing strips (4x) to prevent fraying
