Handlebar Tape Luxury PU Leather Bar Tape Fixed Gear/Road Bike Bar Wrap with 2 Reflective Plug

I purchased 2 sets, Retro Brown and Natural Brown. They both look great paired with Brooks saddles on our blue Trek road bikes. Very happy with the look, finish, feel, and ease of installation. I would have been happy with maybe an extra couple inches of wrap for each bar since I was short just a hair, but not a huge deal. This could very well have been my error while installing. The wrap is slightly stretchy, but wont break easily during install like some I've used in the past.Since installing I've done RAGBRAI (7 days/468 miles) and Peddlers Jamboree (44 miles, 2 days) as well as light weekend riding. Its been rained on several times in heavy downpour while strapped to the roof for over 1500 miles, and it still looks brand new. I did take a dive once and the road scuffed it decently, but it never tore. Very impressed!The chrome caps are a little cheap, and one popped out. They dont have the same tension as the Bontrager caps. I just used my old caps and my wife is using my extras

Bought this along with a brown seat to use for a bike I was working on. Looks and feels great, and wraps perfectly fine even without the tape

Material is rather stiff and does not stretch. I used non-adhesive tape (e.g., Cinelli) before with excellent results. This is non-conforming, creating creases and gaps. The small trim pieces (used to hide brake lever clamps) came with no adhesive and you will need your own double-sided tape to keep them in place while you install the tape. I spent 3 hours pulling, stretching and conforming to my drop bars. The end result is acceptable. See photos. But lots of work! I don't want to complain too much given the low price of the product. Still a good deal and I gave 4 stars. Just look somewhere else if you are looking for quick-to-install tape and spent $15 more.

I'm honestly surprised by how well this tape has been holding up.I usually use Brooks pleather tape which I really love. But for a new build I wasn't sure if I wanted brown or not, so I figured I'd try a cheap tape to see how I feel. Well I like the color and so far the tape has proved to be pretty durable with a nice amount of squish. Give it a shot.FYI -The bar end plugs are garbage. Most free bar end plugs are garbage, so it's ok.But don't expect anything you might want to use.

The media could not be loaded. There was no adhesive on the tape I don't know if it was supposed to be like that... so the install process is weird but nice would recommend for someone who just wants some tape they came with chrome push in ends that are actually really nice and have a reflection that's crazy for plastic and there nice I like the bar tape it's pretty comfortable overall

Cheap tape for newbies these days comes with a sticky back, which makes it easier if you are wrapping bars for the first time and you don't know what you're doing. An example of that is the Deda tape for about the same price. But if you are familiar with the process, you know that the sticky back is a bad idea and makes a mess, takes ages to clean off and makes the tape impossible to reuse, so if you can you should avoid it. This 'kingou' tape has no sticky backing, and while it sure is synthetic and plasticy, it functions more or less like real tape: you tension it, put a cople of rounds of electric tape at the stem end, and you're set - no glue anywhere on your handlebars. It's not real leather, and it's not cotton either, so if you're into the feel of authentic materials this is not for you. But for what it is, it's good.

This has zero adhesive to the back and will not stay to my handlebars. Maybe there is a trick to it, but what a waste of time. I am going to have to buy another wrap to make this work or use double sided tape.It looks cool and I wish it would work.

The media could not be loaded. Bought this to fix the handle bar on my running stroller. The quality was really great, soft but durable as well as super grippy. The thickness provided great padding for hold on to the stroller. Overall happy with how this tape is holding up and performing on my stroller for both walking and running.
