Arundel Rubber Gecko
Best cushioned tape for riders tackling wet, rough, or cold conditions.
This tape is built for the brutal days when the weather turns and the road gets rough. The dual-layer construction offers a noticeably plush, tactile feel that absorbs vibration better than standard wraps. You sacrifice a bit of sleekness for that extra girth, but your hands will thank you on the longest, coldest rides.
