WHY
At SILCA, one of our strongest beliefs is in the protection in your investment and more importantly, in the protection of yourself. Bar Tape should be replaced at least every year for the best performance and for safety checks of corrosion on aluminum bars or damage to carbon bars. We want to make sure that you are covered by providing the first crash replacement program for bar tape.

Inspired by advancements in running shoe foam and F1 tires as well as our own research into rolling efficiency, impedance and damping, we realized that new materials technology could allow for a significant improvement in bar tape. Using a laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon and 3M Visco-elastic adhesive instead of a single foam extrusion, the tape can be optimized across a range of desired features. The resulting tape has a softer, more comfortable feel, higher wet and dry grip, better vibration isolation, and 3-5x the durability of existing tape materials. Since the actual wrap of the tape can be as important as the tape itself, we’ve also developed a full adhesive-backed ‘butterfly’ to better cover the back of the lever clamp area without adding bulk, a high grip finishing tape and expanding aluminum/composite end plugs to ensure every detail is perfect.

Haven't installed this yet. But the software is compelling me to write something...
Perfect grip. Hands stay on the bar even with sweat after hours of indoor ride. Great product not only for outdoor but also for indoor biking.

This is by far the most comfortable bar tape I've ever used. I replaced the tape on my gravel bike with this tape and it's a noticeably more comfortable ride. Highly recommend.
Thanks
After inheriting my daughter’s cyclocross bike I decided to use it for gravel riding and decided it was time to replace the worn out handlebar tape. Having ordered from Silca several items in the past, I decided to give the Nastro Cuscino tape a try. Not only does the orange color look great but it performs quite well on gravel by absorbing the feedback from the road. It will be my go to tape when updating my road bike!
It went on very well, feels very nice. I have not yet went for a ride so I'm not real sure how it feels while in use, but I am pretty sure it will be great. Very nice aluminum bar end plugs. A bit pricy, but like the old saying goes; "the quality remains long after the price is forgotten". Now all I have to do is save, save and save up for one of those high quality Silca tire pumps!
