Product Information
Full details
The Lizard Skins DSP Ultra bar tape is an ideal choice for road, gravel, and endurance cyclists seeking a perfect balance between vibration damping and tactile feedback. Engineered with a specialized DuraSoft polymer compound, it excels at neutralizing road buzz to reduce hand fatigue over long distances, though riders who prefer ultra-thin or non-adhesive tapes may find the secure 3M backing a permanent adjustment.

FAQs
Can I reuse this tape if I need to change my shifters?
While the 3M adhesive is designed for a secure hold, it is generally recommended to use new tape if removed, as the adhesive properties diminish upon unrolling.
How does the 1.9mm thickness compare to the 3.5mm?
The 1.9mm tape provides a thinner, more direct road feel for competitive riders, whereas the 3.5mm version adds significant comfort for long-distance and gravel riding.
Does the tape come with bar-end plugs?
Yes, every pack includes professional-grade screw-in bar-end plugs for a secure fit.
Is this tape compatible with all road bars?
The tape is designed to be universal and fits most standard drop-bar handlebar shapes.
What is the best way to clean white DSP tape?
Use a soft sponge with mild soap and warm water. Avoid heavy solvents or degreasers, as they may degrade the polymer.
Troubleshooting
Tape is slipping after installation
Ensure the handlebar surface was degreased with isopropyl alcohol before application to allow the 3M adhesive to bond properly.
Difficulty wrapping around the brake hoods
Use the provided small pieces of tape specifically designed to cover the clamp area to ensure full coverage without excessive bulk.
Tape surface is becoming dirty
Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild dish soap. Do not scrub with abrasive brushes to preserve the grip texture.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your handlebars are completely clean and free of old adhesive residue before applying the new tape. When wrapping, maintain consistent tension and overlap; because the 3M adhesive is quite aggressive, it is best to get the alignment right on the first attempt. Start from the bar ends and work your way up toward the stem, tucking the tape securely under the provided clamp covers. To clean the tape, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh degreasers, as these can strip the polymer of its tactile finish and reduce the longevity of the grip pattern.
