Product Information
Full details
The Cinelli 3D Volee Handlebar Tape is designed for road cyclists and enthusiasts who demand a balance between professional-grade grip and long-distance comfort. Its standout feature is the unique micro-channel texture that enhances airflow and hand-to-bar contact, though riders should note that the specialized 3D pattern requires careful wrapping technique to maintain the aesthetic alignment of the integrated C logo.

FAQs
Is this tape suitable for wet weather conditions?
Yes, the micro-channel texture is specifically engineered to channel away moisture, providing superior grip in damp conditions.
Does this kit include finishing tape?
Yes, each package includes a pair of Cinelli bar end plugs and finishing tape for a complete installation.
How do I keep the texture clean?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid high-pressure water or abrasive brushes, which can damage the micro-channels.
Can I reuse this tape if I need to adjust my shifters?
While the adhesive is durable, repeated removal and reapplication may weaken the bond; it is recommended to replace the tape if it has been on the bike for an extended period.
Is this tape compatible with all handlebar types?
The tape is designed to fit standard road drop bars. If you have extremely oversized or unconventional aero bars, you may need to purchase additional tape to ensure full coverage.
Troubleshooting
Tape is slipping on the handlebars
Remove the tape, clean the bar surface thoroughly with alcohol to remove residual adhesive or grease, and re-wrap with consistent tension.
Logos are misaligned
Unwrap the tape slightly and adjust the overlap percentage; the 3D pattern requires uniform tension to keep the design geometry consistent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For best results, clean your handlebars with isopropyl alcohol before starting to ensure the adhesive backing bonds correctly. Begin wrapping from the bar ends, working toward the stem, and maintain a consistent overlap of approximately one-third of the tape's width. To clean the tape after use, simply wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the micro-channel texture. Store your bike indoors or under a cover to prolong the life of the material and keep the texture free from debris.
