Comfort and control at the handlebars
WEST BIKING PU and EVA foam handlebar tape improves contact between your hands and the cockpit. The PU surface provides a consistent feel, while the 3 mm EVA foam adds a cushioning layer under your hands. This construction helps distribute pressure across the palms more evenly and contributes to reducing the feeling of fatigue as the ride duration increases.
This construction helps reduce vibrations and maintain a comfortable grip during extended rides. The surface provides a pleasant feel and consistent grip for precise steering control, particularly when changing hand positions, accelerating, or riding over uneven surfaces.
Installation and adjustment
The two 2,000 × 30 mm rolls feature adhesive backing to help keep them in place while wrapping them around the handlebar. Careful installation is important to prevent movement while riding. Before installation, clean the handlebar, check dimensional compatibility, and position the accessory symmetrically on both sides.
Apply the tape with consistent tension, secure the ends with the finishing tape, and then install the handlebar plugs. After the first few miles, check that everything remains secure and readjust if necessary. This check helps maintain a stable grip and a clean finish.
For sporting rides and daily commutes
This solution is suitable for road bikes, compatible mountain bikes, recreational bicycles, and replacing old handlebar tape. It allows you to refresh a worn cockpit, improve comfort, or customize the bike's appearance without changing its overall function.
The surface can be wiped regularly to remove sweat and dirt that reduce grip. Regular maintenance limits the buildup of dust and perspiration and helps preserve the material's grip over time.
