It's acclaimed for its superior tackiness, excellent shock absorption via Kush Foam, long-lasting PU material resistant to elements, and stylish embossed design. Professional feedback often highlights its performance and feel.
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and sweat. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
The top layer (Super Sticky PU) provides the grip and feel, remaining tacky and durable. The middle layer (Kush Foam) is exclusively for shock absorption, enhancing comfort and bike handling.
Yes, the combination of superior grip and significant shock absorption makes it well-suited for gravel riding, where increased comfort and control over rough surfaces are beneficial.
The tape is designed for long-lasting performance due to its durable PU material and resistance to UV, climate, and sweat. Lifespan varies with riding conditions and mileage, but it's generally considered more durable than many standard tapes.
The specifications are: Length: 2160mm, Width: 30mm, Thickness: 3mm.
Yes, the package includes laser-etched aluminum bar end caps (Star Plugz) and high-end rubberized finishing tape.
Slightly reduce the tension when unwrapping. If it's excessively sticky during initial wrapping, ensure you are overlapping correctly and not stretching it too much initially. Use a bit of talcum powder sparingly on your hands if needed for initial positioning.
Ensure the handlebars were clean and dry before application. Re-wrap the section, applying slightly more tension and ensuring good overlap. Use the finishing tape securely. If adhesion issues persist, the adhesive may be compromised, and re-application might be necessary.
Clean the tape thoroughly to remove any residue or contaminants that might be hindering its natural tackiness. Ensure the embossed pattern is clear. If the tape is very old, the PU may have degraded, requiring replacement.
Ensure the handlebar opening is clear of debris. If the plugs are too tight, gently tap them in. If they are loose, a small amount of sealant or even a thin shim of tape might be needed to secure them, though they are designed for a snug fit.
