2019 S-Wrap Roubaix Handlebar Tape

When your benchmark is set along the horrific cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, we find that the result is the utmost in comfort. Need proof? Look no further than our S-Wrap Roubaix Handlebar Tape.

For the construction, it features a pairing of a grippy suede finish with vibration-absorbing EVA foam. This means that you'll experience less slip and a significant reduction in hand fatigue. And after witnessing so many mechanics putting up double-wrap, we even took it step further by including by adding an elastomer gel backing for even more comfort and support. If this sounds thick and clumsy, though, don't worry. This tape is extra wide, so your wrap job will remain sleek and low profile. We even made it to be highly stretchable with feathered edges to make sure of it.

Bring back the Roubaix tape!

Best bar tape ever! So comfortable for the grip and worked perfectly in dry or wet conditions. I used Roubaix since it came out on the market. So bummed it's been replaced with another tape that is sticky and awful feeling. Bring back the Roubaix! Pretty please!

Best Tape -- Please bring it back!!

This grip tape is amazing -- it came stock on my 2019 Diverge. I've now rewrapped it at least 3 times in the course of swapping handlebars and it's still going strong. The texture provides the perfect amount of grip and the cushioning is deluxe without feeling too bulky. Once I discovered it's no longer available, I tried to buy up deadstock from every bike shop I could find to no avail -- so here's another vote to bring it back to the masses!

Bring it back -- in blue!

I've been using this on my Ti Seven for more than a decade, where the blue tape is stunning with the blue Seven decals. Unfortunately, now that I'm considering a new ride, my fav tape appears no more (much less in preferred colors). This tape has proven extremely durable, very comfortable, and rather washable. And it lacks logos or other ugliness. I'm disappointed that Specialized seems to have dropped this tape in favor of cheesy, two-tone offerings.

Great Bar Tape

Great Bar Tape, lasted 12k miles on my Tarmac and only had to be replaced because of a crash. As long as you don't ride or train with a death grip these will last a long time. I could maybe see them getting slipperly but since I live in desert climate they are not. I've never slipped on these myself. I prefer riding more tight (as apposed to bulky tape) and find these improved with time as the tape sinches down a big after a couple hundred miles.

Slippery

The tape was installed on my new Specialized bike, I crashed a few weeks back as I lost grip. Hands/Arms were creasy due to sweat and sunscreen which resulted in slippery bar tape. Although comfortable, I wouldn't recommend it. love the bike though and fortunately minor damage.

Feels great but if your hands are sweaty the tape is slick

Feels great but if your hands are sweaty the tape is very slippery. The tape is nice and cushy, just slippery when wet.
