Ergon BT Gravel Bar Tape

Standard road tape typically ranges from 2mm to 2.5mm. The 3.5mm thickness on the Ergon BT Gravel tape offers significantly more cushion, which is specifically designed to absorb high-frequency vibrations and reduce hand fatigue on rough gravel surfaces.

While optimized for gravel, it is an excellent choice for road cyclists who prefer extra padding or suffer from hand numbness on longer rides. The added thickness provides a more substantial feel in the hands, regardless of the terrain.

No, the diamond pattern is engineered specifically to maintain traction in wet or muddy conditions. It provides a reliable, non-slip surface that helps you keep a secure grip on your bars even when the weather turns.
