The Selle San Marco Presa Corsa Comfort Handlebar Tape is engineered for endurance cyclists, gravel riders, and bikepackers who prioritize long-distance comfort without adding unnecessary weight to their cockpit. Its primary benefit is the 4.5mm thick EVA foam construction, which provides substantial vibration dampening and a secure, soft-touch grip, though riders seeking a thin, race-ready feel for maximum road feedback may find the extra padding too bulky for their preferences.

This tape is designed specifically for drop handlebars. While it could theoretically be applied to flat bars, it is not optimized for that application.
Yes, the Selle San Marco Presa Corsa tape package includes matching bar end plugs for a clean finish.
The adhesive backing is designed to hold firmly, but you can carefully unwrap and reposition the tape if done gently during the initial installation.
At 4.5mm, this is significantly thicker than standard racing tapes, which often range from 2mm to 2.5mm.
If you have very small hands, the extra padding may increase the diameter of the bar grip. However, most riders find the added comfort outweighs the slight increase in diameter.
Ensure you are using the included finishing tape or high-quality electrical tape to secure the end, and verify that the initial wrap is tucked securely into the bar plug.
Ensure that the tape surface is free from oils, waxes, or road grime by wiping it down with a light solution of water and mild dish soap.
For optimal results, start wrapping from the end of the drop bars and work toward the center, ensuring a consistent 25% to 50% overlap depending on your preferred cushioning thickness. Because of its 4.5mm profile, ensure your cable routing is tucked neatly into the bar channels to avoid lumps under the tape.
Compatibility: The 1900mm length is compatible with almost all standard road and gravel drop bars.
Care: Clean the tape using a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or high-pressure water, as these can degrade the EVA material structure. Allow it to air dry fully after cleaning before the next ride.
