MARQUE Pro Bike Handlebar Tape – Road Cycling Bicycle Handle Bar Wrap with Adhesive Backs, Comes with Pair of Bar End Plugs – 2 Rolls per Set

I've been wrapping handlebars for a very long time. The tape is very good quality especially at this price point. Plenty long enough to wrap deep drop road bars. Tape has a nice texture, good grip, and a bit of stretch to it, to make wrapping an easy chore. End plugs are great, tight fit that will not be falling out anytime soon, I wouldn't hesitate to buy again. Color I bought is black, so my review is for this color only.

This tape has just the right amount of cushion for comfort without being too thick. I was worried that it might feel plasticky, but it doesn't. It has a nice grippy feel. The slight stretchiness makes it easy to install. The package came with extra pieces to cover the brake levers and a couple of pieces of really nice finishing tape. This finishing tape is better than standard electrical tape and blends perfectly with the color of the black tape. It's a joy to install. I wish they gave a couple of extra pieces of it though. Overall. I can't imagine a better quality product unless it's leather.

Comfortable, easy to get a good wrap without gapping/sagging; plenty of length; adhesive on the back is just tacky enough to hold it in place while wrapping but lets go easy enough if you need to back up and re-wrap. Can't comment on longevity yet, but I liked this tape enough to put it on my other bike.

Overall this is a great Bar tape. it has just about everything I look for in bar tape. I just put this on my wife's bike and she loves it. Tacky grip with lots of cushion and the Gel backing is just awesome. The diamond pattern adds nicely to the look and feel. I think this will hold up better then most synthetic cork tape to which I will give an update later about. I only have 1 issue with it which in the end may be a strength. The tape does not stretch which I am sure is related to the what seems like a super durable surface. If you do any kind of double wrap or Gel bar pads to be used underneath then you will be super glad for the extra 10cm compared to other brands. Which I was because wife's bars have the gel pads. Would buy again or recommend sure. If Margue started including the small snipets like some brands do so a none figure 8 wrap style can be done this would be my go to wrap hands down. So that last star is for the stretch and extra pieces which really should be a fractional star since the tape is longer then normal.

I've used this particular tape from Marque on both my road and gravel bike. Application is beyond easy. Comfort is phenomenal, and it's nice and tacky- won't turn into a slip and slide when you start to sweat. I've used bar tape from pretty much every brand out there and this stuff is easily my favorite. I've got about 8,000 miles of use on the most recent wrap and is still holding up great....do yourself a favor...order some!

I dislike this product in that it totally would not do what it was purchased for. SInce I tried to use it, therefore cutting a strip from the roll, I believed I could not return it for refund and therefore still have the left over product. It seemed advertised for wrapping handlebars of bikes for nonslip coverage, etc. It said it was flexible, and it was, in one direction only. I bought it to wrap the handles of forearm crutches so that the handle would be nonslip. These crutch handles slant slightly downward, creating a tendency to slip. Your product only has adhesive down the center of the strip; each side of the strip has no adhesive whatsoever. The product also does not flex to wrap a bar working your way up or down the bar, but layers must be laid evenly one upon another. The adhesive is not strong; one hour after wrapping the bars with 2 layers, layer upon layer, I returned to find the rigidness of the tape pulled the adhesive loose so that on both crutches the adhesive tape was hanging in straight pieces as though never wrapped, dangling to one single contact point on the crutch handle. I almost discarded the product realizing I can't use it as crutch handlebar wrap, but I paid enough for it that I can't bear to throw it away.

I've been cycling (primarily road) for over 20 years and I've seen my fair share of handlebar tape (I tape the bars myself as well). So far so good with this one: it provides a good grip, has stayed tight, cleans easily, and it looks good. If you prefer more dampening, you are probably better off with the gel or extra thick variety (which this is neither), but I really like this one and the feel is spot on for me (I prefer grip, but without that overly glue-like sticky feel some have and I want the handlebar to lose no feedback). I think I'll become a repeat customer if it proves reasonably durable, especially at this price.

The tape quality feels really good. I would say it’s on the thicker side for bar tape but for my gravel bike I like it since it give my hand more cushion. The adhesive strip on the tape is not super stick but if you wrap it tight it doesn’t matter that much.
