The perforated surface pattern actively circulates air while maintaining a soft second-skin feel – perfect for hot summer rides or indoor trainer sessions. The proprietary cork composite retains texture even after 500km of use, outperforming natural cork alternatives by 3x lifespan (based on ISO 20345 testing).

Available exclusively in premium white finish that resists yellowing better than standard tapes – maintaining professional aesthetics through multiple cleaning cycles.
