Summer Gear We Love | SILCA Bar Tape
Engineered with next-gen foam and a long-wearing, high-tack surface for maximum comfort and control.
Next-Level Bar Tape Technology
Silca’s latest bar tape is inspired by innovations in running shoe foam, F1 tires, and in-house research into rolling efficiency and vibration damping. Instead of using a single foam extrusion, the tape features a multi-layer laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon, and 3M viscoelastic adhesive—delivering superior comfort, grip in all conditions, and 3–5x the durability of traditional tapes.
To ensure optimal installation, Silca includes an adhesive-backed butterfly patch for clean lever coverage, high-grip finishing tape, and expanding aluminum/composite end plugs—engineered for a flawless wrap and maximum performance.
