Product Information
Full details
The Supacaz Super Sticky Kush Classic Tape is designed for professional cyclists and dedicated enthusiasts who prioritize both performance and aesthetic flair. This high-end bar tape provides a superior, tacky grip in all weather conditions and enhanced vibration dampening, making it an excellent choice for long rides or technical descents. One caveat for users is that the high-tack surface requires precise wrapping techniques during installation to avoid overlapping inconsistencies.

FAQs
Is this tape suitable for gravel riding?
Yes, the Kush Foam layer provides excellent shock absorption, making it very effective for damping vibrations on gravel or rough road surfaces.
Can the tape be re-wrapped if I make a mistake?
While it is possible to re-wrap, the high-tack adhesive backing may lose some effectiveness if peeled and reapplied multiple times.
Does this tape include everything needed for installation?
Yes, the set includes two rolls of tape, two Aluminum Star Plugz, and two strips of rubberized finishing tape.
How do I clean the tape?
Use a damp, lint-free cloth with water. Avoid using degreasers or harsh solvents, which can damage the tacky finish.
Will this work with aero-style handlebars?
Yes, the tape is flexible enough to wrap around the flattened shapes common on modern aero bars.
What is the thickness of the tape?
The tape is designed to be a balance between comfort and tactile feedback, typically measuring around 3mm in thickness.
Troubleshooting
Tape feels loose after installation
Ensure that you are maintaining constant, firm tension during the wrapping process and overlapping by at least 25-50%.
Star Plugz are slipping out of the handlebar
Check that the screw in the center of the plug is sufficiently tightened to expand the internal retention mechanism inside the bar.
Surface feels less sticky over time
Clean the tape with a damp cloth to remove accumulated road grime, dust, or dried sweat.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Highly resistant to UV rays and sweat buildup

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, start from the bar ends and work your way up toward the stem, maintaining consistent tension to ensure the wrap stays uniform. Because the tape is high-tack, avoid pulling excessively hard, as this can stretch the material. Use the included Aluminum Star Plugz by inserting them into the bar end and tightening the center screw to expand the internal wedge. To care for your tape, wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth after particularly sweaty rides to prevent dirt accumulation. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as these can strip the tacky properties of the polyurethane layer.
