Bontrager Supertack Handlebar Tape - Black

Bontrager Supertack Handlebar Tape - Black is a practical handlebar upgrade for riders who want better comfort, control, and a finished appearance on a drop-bar bicycle. A high-traction textured surface helps maintain secure hand contact in changing conditions. The cushioned construction takes the edge off road vibration while retaining direct steering feel. Its understated appearance works with nearly any road or gravel build, from a fresh assembly to a routine service replacement.

The Black colorway makes it easy to coordinate the cockpit with a frame, saddle, cable housing, bottles, or other accessories. It works well for replacing worn, slippery, compressed, or stained tape and can also complete a new road, gravel, touring, or cyclocross build. Fresh tape improves the contact point between rider and bicycle, helping hands feel planted while braking, shifting, climbing, and riding over rough pavement.

For best results, remove the old tape and adhesive residue, inspect the handlebar for damage, confirm brake-hose and cable placement, and start with clean, dry bars. Wrap each side with even tension and consistent overlap, taking extra care around the brake hoods and bends. Finish securely and install the supplied or compatible bar-end plugs. If you prefer a specific wrap direction, thickness, or hood transition, professional installation is recommended.

This Bontrager tape is sold as one complete handlebar-tape set. Choose it for a refreshed cockpit, more dependable hand contact, and a polished appearance that is ready for everyday miles, group rides, event days, and long weekend routes. Actual color can vary slightly with lighting and display settings.
