Since we introduced the first original Cork tape we never stopped to innovate handlebar tapes. We added more visibility, more colors, more design, more elasticity. Now we thought of a more comfortable tape with the highest shock absorbing properties: Gel. Cork tape doesn't fade, helps in absorbing vibrations, and really customize your bike with a personal touch of color. There's plenty of Cinelli cork tape colors, just choose the one that best fits your bike. Cinelli orginal cork tape was awarded the Consumer Choice award for 2000.
