Handlebar tape Nastro Cuscino 2.5

Thoroughly studying advances in running shoe foams and F1 tires, as well as our own research into rolling efficiency, impedance and damping, we realized that new material technology could bring about major improvements in handlebar tapes. Instead of a single foam extrusion, we use a laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon and 3M viscoelastic adhesive that allows the tape to be optimized in a variety of ways. The result is a tape with a softer, more comfortable feel, greater grip in both wet and dry conditions, better vibration isolation, and 3-5 times longer durability than existing materials. Since the taping process can be as important as the tape itself, we have also developed a self-adhesive backed butterfly segment to better cover the lever clamp area without adding bulk, a high-grip finishing tape, and aluminum/composite expanding plugs to ensure that every detail is perfect.
