Great for loosing some grams,overal feels soft enaugh,but the grip gets wery sleepery when u have sveaty hands. I could live with it on indor trainer,and for now outside i had no problems because it is still very cold,but am fearing the hot summer rides.

(Four and half stars) This must be the ultimate cheap trick for weight weenies.
Unfeasibly light tape which wraps easily and offers a comfortable grip. It is not a ‘tacky’ tape so if you prefer the surface of Lizard Skins (for instance) this might be a bit of a strange sensation at first.
I have noticed there is a pretty quick rate of compaction to the tape which reduces its shock absorption properties. I have only used mitts without additional palm padding while ridding with this tape.
Overall this is good bar tape for rides of up to 4 hours but beyond this I have noticed a distinct road buzz tingle develop. For me not an issue as not many rides go beyond four hours. But worth bearing in mind if you’re doing 200km+ Audux rides.
Must say the turnaround from PP was top class and I got some nice socks as a bonus too, thanks Joe and the PP team.

It is superlight, comfortable, and looks clean.

I run this tape on my superlight SLC. It feels great with or without gloves. I was a bit nervous when installing it; I think it will snap if you pull it too tight. However, it installed as normal and looks great when wrapped. As a guy with smaller hands, I prefer this feeling of a thinner bar tape.
