The bar tape was easy to install. Looks great on the bars, the pattern helped to hide some of the inconsistency in the evenness of my wrapping. I thought the lack of adhesive on the back would make it more difficult to install but it made no difference. Just as comfortable and grippy as the tape that came on my Salsa gravel bike.

The bar tape came with bar end plugs, adhesive strip, and the short section of tape by the front of the shifters. The tape looked nice and decent quality. My only complaint is that it could have been about 6 inches longer to give more coverage. I had to unwrap and rewrap the bars multiple times to get the spacing right so I'd have tape to the top of the handlebars. I was barely able to overlap the tape in some areas. I hope it holds up over many rides.

I replaced my last Profile wrap that lasted over 6 years and was still in good condition. Handlebar wrap now sells for over $40 and I can’t see spending that much when Profile gives you great performance and comfort for much less.

I've used this bar wrap for a few years now. After crashing and ripping it a few times, I have replaced it more than once and found it to be consistent and comfortable. It stays put when installed correctly, feels good even after it's been on there a while and looks good on my bike. When I crash and it rips, it hasn't gotten worse quickly either which is an unexpected bonus. When it gets wet from rain or sweat, it doesn't get slippery and it dries quickly. The price went up for a bit but has come back down to normal now, thankfully! My bike sees thousands of miles a year (outdoor and trainer miles) and I will continue to use this wrap until it no longer exists, as I haven't found any I like better.

This is good stuff. I've yet to find anything more cost-effective and comfortable without being super bulky.No handlebar tape is easy to install if you wrap it well, but this gets the job done. I recommend the non-adhesive options and simply wrapping firmly and evenly. Make sure to watch a Youtube video on how to wrap bars if you're not familiar with it. The direction matters for keeping the wrap on the bars with use. Go the wrong way and it will fall off pretty quickly.Wrap from the bottom up, over top of the bar toward the outside--clockwise on the right, counter-clockwise on the left. After you pass the levers, you need to be wrapping over the top and toward yourself.

Buen material, muy bien acolchado , da buen agarre, solo falto que tuviera cinta doble acción para que se agarrara mejor la cinta, pero con cinta aislante al revés se soluciona, recomendado buen precio

Great bar tape for a great deal. Only drawback is the finishing tape was poor quality, but I use electrical tape in any case where this is true. I like the stretchiness of the tape, very comfortable, nice style. No adhesive is good for anyone who tinkers with their handlebars or brake hoods, saves from having to replace it every time. Wrapped it tight and so far no issues with not having the adhesive back.

This tape is super comfortable, but I bought the version without tape on the back. I did so because I also use the gel bar pads and wanted to be able to use them through a couple sets of bar tape. No matter how tight I wrap this tape, it still moves on the bars. I like the feel and I would buy this brand again, but I'd get the one that has adhesive on the back.

Great tape. Plenty long for both sides, comfortable. I have not had much use yet, but it seems pretty durable. Still crazy expen$ive for what it is, but what can you do. Seems like a good product though.

Auf den ersten Eindruck sehr angenehm aber ohne Klebestreifen auf der Rückseite unbrauchbar

Haptisch ausgezeichnet (Handschmeichler). Läßt sich auch ohne die sonst üblichen Klebestreifen auf der Rückseite gut wickeln. Nur die beiliegenden nicht elsatischen Klebestreifen zum Festhalten der Bandenden ersetzte ich durch Isolierband.Läßt sich mit Waschbenzin und Kunststoffreiniger sehr gut säubern. Hält dadurch auch sehr lange.Da ich sonst gut 50 km mit dem Auto fahren muss, um dieses Band zu bekommen, habe ich es zum ersten Mal über amazon bestellt, zu meiner vollsten Zufriedenheit.

EDIT 11/11/13: I just had to bump this up to 5 stars. After a few thousand miles on this tape, it has become my absolute favorite! I love the way it feels; I love the amount of cushioning; and it still looks and feels like it's brand-new. I'll be sticking with this, exclusively!As others have said: This is a very nice quality tape and at a great price- comfortable and good-looking; stretchable and very easy to apply/allows do-overs. The only complaint I have is that the rolls are a little short. If you like to do a figure-8 around your brifters, you'll come up short if you have wide bars. On my narrowish bars, I just BARELY made it to the end- nothing left to cut.They do provide those little strips to tape on around the back of your brifters [I still do the fig-8, even if I use the strips), as well as nice shiny end-caps and finishing tape with the Profile Design logo on it.C'mon, Profile Design- just give us a few more inches, and you'll win a lot more customers! (And it's not me- with other brands, I always have a lot left over)
