The Supacaz Super Sticky Kush Galaxy Bar Tape is designed for road cyclists and racers who demand a balance between professional-grade grip and long-distance comfort. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-tack polyurethane surface and vibration-damping foam, providing superior control in both dry and wet conditions. While it offers excellent durability and a unique aesthetic, users should be aware that the aggressive adhesive backing makes the tape difficult to reposition once applied to the handlebars.

Due to the strong adhesive backing, it is generally not recommended to reuse the tape. It is likely to tear or lose its shape during removal.
Yes, the Kush Foam layer provides excellent vibration dampening, making it well-suited for gravel and rough road conditions.
Yes, each set includes high-end rubberized finishing tape that matches the color and quality of the main bar tape.
The tape is designed to provide a balance between road feel and comfort, typically measuring approximately 3mm in thickness.
They are compatible with most standard road handlebars; however, if you have extremely thick-walled bars or unique internal routing, they may require minor adjustment.
Ensure the handlebars are thoroughly cleaned and degreased with isopropyl alcohol before wrapping. Check that the adhesive backing was not contaminated with oil during the wrapping process.
The included aluminum plugs use an expansion mechanism. Ensure the bolt is tightened until the rubber gasket expands enough to secure the plug inside the handlebar inner diameter.
Road grime and skin oils can accumulate on the surface. Clean the tape with a mild soap solution and water, then air dry to restore its original grip.
Installing this tape requires precision because of the aggressive adhesive strip on the underside. Start at the bar end and work your way up toward the stem, maintaining a consistent 30-50% overlap. Ensure you have your final wrap position planned before pressing down firmly, as pulling it back up can damage the tape's structure. For compatibility, this tape fits standard road drop handlebars of all materials, including aluminum and carbon fiber. To maintain the tape, wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth after particularly sweaty rides to remove salt buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the polyurethane coating and degrade the tackiness over time.
