The Bontrager Gel Cork Handlebar Tape is designed for road cyclists and commuters seeking a balance between classic aesthetic and modern comfort. Its primary benefit is the combination of natural cork material with an integrated gel strip, which effectively dampens road vibrations for a smoother ride. While the non-adhesive backing allows for easy adjustments and re-wrapping, users should be aware that it may require extra tension during installation to ensure it stays securely in place without shifting.

Yes, each set includes reflective bar end plugs for added safety and a clean look.
Yes, the gel vibration-damping properties are excellent for gravel riding, though you may prefer a double-wrap technique if you encounter very rough terrain.
Yes, because the backing is non-adhesive, you can carefully unwrap and reuse the tape if it is still in good condition.
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid submerging the tape or using abrasive scrubbers.
It provides a medium thickness that balances comfort and handlebar feel, which is thicker than standard racing tape but thinner than extreme comfort wraps.
Ensure you are maintaining consistent, firm tension during the wrapping process and increase the overlap percentage on the curves of the drops.
Use a small piece of high-quality electrical tape to secure the leading edge firmly to the bar before applying the provided finishing strips.
To install, ensure your handlebars are clean and free of old adhesive residue. Begin wrapping from the bar ends, working your way toward the stem. Since there is no adhesive, ensure you maintain consistent tension while wrapping; you may need to use electrical tape at the top before applying the finishing strips to keep the end secure. To clean, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may degrade the natural cork components over time.
