Your cart is empty.Rubber Gecko is a cushy bar tape made with foam and an outer layer of natural rubber. Rubber Gecko offers a soft tactile grip with a bit of give to it. It wraps slightly fatter than our original gecko grip, but not by much. Perfect for the rainy, cold cobbled classics.

Incredible bar tape. I put in 12,000+ miles a year and this has been by far, the longest lasting tape I have ever used. Easy to apply, perfect stretch and just outlasts all the others. I do like other knurl style bar tape but none last this long. Arundel crushing it with this one. (as expected with the rest of their stuff)

Tape was easy to wrap and strong enough to stretch for a tight fit. I installed grips underneath the tops to alleviate wrist pain (sold by Redshift, no financial interest by me) and there was enough tape to account for the additional length.

I love this stuff.. the adhesion is great. it lasts way way longer than anything else i have used.I put this on my first road bike. when i sold it, it still had the same tape. never had to replace it. on my new bike, after about 3 months, the stock bar tape wore out and I applied this tape. It lasted me literally 2 years or 12,000 miles of riding approximately. I just applied my 3rd bar tape now. It is nice to have fresh tape though the old tape was still okay.Removal of the 2 year old arundel rubber gecko tape was pretty hard. The adhesive stayed stuck and i had to scrape it off bit by bit. I tried goo gone and wd 40.. it was hard to get off. This time, I applied a layer of electrical tape to the bar first. so I hope that the electrical tape will be easier to remove whenever this tape finally wears out!I would estimate that the tape wears out at about the same rate as the cable outers do so this is perfect stuff!a note on comfort.. this stuff feels amazing. the texture never wears out, and it gives a nice tactile response to my grip which inspires comfort.I pray that Arundel NEVER stops making this.

I put this on my road bike three years ago and it's holding up great. The grip is fantastic. I used to be cautious on the drop handles for fear of sliding off but not with this tape. I can grip all the way to the end without fear of slipping. I will definitely buy this again.

Thumbs up. I prefer the feel of this vs foam tape. Vibration seems to have been dampened over rougher stretches of road. Purchasing a few more sets.

Excellent grip, took my bike out today and love the grip and feel, I double wrap so I used the thin cork from the previous handlebars up to a certain point. Either way you'll be satisfied.

My first rubbery grip tape and I'm very pleased. Installed along with new Sram hoods and the feelings are very similar the entire way through the bar and through the lever bodies. I suspect these will wear long and well. If true, these are a very good value for a top shelf product.

Wonderful grip, especially when wet/sweaty. On long stretches of flat road, I will occasionally rest my forearms on the tops of my bars. Good grip is crucial. Easy to wrap. Why only four stars? A tad thin for my taste; could use an extra millimeter or so of thickness.
