Wrapped easily and remains in place while protecting your grip. Looks good, too.

Needed to replace bar tape so got this. Easy to fit with extra tape for the change leavers. Feels comfortable and wick sweat away easily. Would buy again

These are simple to install, and the adhesive takes some time to grab so they can be adjusted to get the overlap correct. I even had enough to allow a 5cm cut off to place around the base of the handbrakes.It was annoying to have to enter an email address in order to watch the video on installation. Interestingly the video suggests starting at the opposite end of the handlebars to the instructions on the box.

I actually purchased this to replace the foam grip on the handle to my folding wagon, I was looking for something slightly cushioned that would be pretty easy to apply and this worked perfectly. Gives enough grip and some cushioning and it was very easy to stretch and wrap around the handlebars. The electrical tape strips that are included seal the ends very neatly and hold very well. Also it has a slight Sparkle or Shimmer to the material which even makes it look pretty. Very pleased at this affordable option would definitely keep this in mind for strollers wagons and other type of handlebars you may need to replace or upgrade, outside of just bicycles.

The tape goes on nice and feels good. As I pulled it the tape tore. I managed to continue and be more careful. First time I did tape so maybe all tape will tear under that much pull. It is on now and works well.

Not the worst bar tape but you get what you pay for. Adhesive strip stuck to the removable backing strip more than the tape itself almost tearing the tape when pulling the backing strip if not careful. The tape is also kinda weak when stretching while wrapping, it tore on me once when working around the top bends and had to finagle it back together. Finishing tape is meh, not sticking the best and rather short pieces, you'd be better off with plain electrical tape. Also no bar end plugs included like most other slightly more expensive tape options. It is fairly cushioned though if that's what you're looking for. If you're looking for a cheap quick bar tape option or building up a bike you don't want to spend a lot on, this is a good option. If it's a bike you ride a lot and really care for, I'd consider something else. Sram supercork & pnw coast tape at ~$20 are substantially better tape options at this price point, just my .02

Bought this to put on my lawn mower handle since the original foam cushion rotted away after 20 years. Works great with good cushion and grip. Also put them over my bike handgrips to provide some extra cushion.

So many other bar tape options are super expensive. This one hit the spot perfectly while being very cost effective. I had enough to wrap my straight bar grips while only using about half the tape. I secured the other end with black electrical tape and itβs worked great. Added so much comfort and grip to my bars. Would absolutely recommend and would purchase again.

I have been using a name brand padded tape for many years and it has held up well on my CX bike. When time came to replace the tape I decided to ALIENPROS based on price and reviews. The new tape is good, but I am not sure it is as durable as my other brand, based on initial examination, I guess time will tell. My only real gripe is the bar plugs seem very small and cheap and fit too loose into my handlebar. I ended up re-using my old plugs. The sticky tape is also a bit weak in my sample.

I applied the tape to my gravel bike. This tape is super comfortable, absorbs shocks and vibrations well but provides enough feedback to the hands to feel what the front-end of the bike is doing.Application was very easy as the adhesive is nice and tacky, maintained it's stick if I went back to re-do a wrap or two as I went. The tape has just the right amount of stretch in it preventing it from thinning out as you go, it was very nice to reach the desired point on my bars and have little excess left over.Really good product and fantastic value for money.

To be clear- this "Set of 2" includes enough handlebar tape to wrap one handlebar. It is two pieces, one for the left side and one for the right side.It is very basic bar tape. It is called EVA foam, but think of it as synthetic cork. It's strong enough to take a bit of tension, which is good if you like to stretch your bar tape when wrapping. It's long enough for a standard wrapping style. The bar end plugs aren't fancy but they work. I usually just use electrical tape to finish the ends but the included tape will work. They do not include a tiny filler piece to go by your shift levers, so cut a three inch piece for yourself if you are concerned about having no gaps around your levers- the tape is long enough that it can handle losing three inches of the end. There is a sticky backing layer on the back- not really my thing but some people may appreciate it.This is good affordable bar tape for anyone that wraps their handlebars frequently. You won't break the bank with it and it works fine. It's not premium $40 tape, but I think that clean regular tape looks better than someone trying to make their expensive tape last for years.
