Fantastic high density bar tape - which is great if you suffer from gripping on the bar tape all day. Perfect for Australian summer conditions and particularly on longer endurance rides.

The BALLISTIC series tape focuses on grip, shock absorption and all-condition performance, first and foremost.  The heart of the tape is our latest PU compound optimized for top performance.  BALLISTIC series bar tape is inherently finished in a satin-like surface that allows for easy hand position transitions yet instantly grips when holding pressure is applied.  BALLISTIC series bar tape can also be embellished with spot UV inks for a distinctive graphic pattern sure to compliment any bicycle.

Multi-layer, laminated, verifying density foam offers progressive shock absorption and vibration damping to minimize fatigue.

Highly elastic and lightweight organic adhesive will not leave residue on the handlebars to ease installation and adjustment.

Reusable, expanding locking bar plugs are reliable and resist falling out.

Highly elastic finishing tape does not deform, degrade or soften in extreme temperature and weather conditions.

INSTRUCTIONS

If you're keen to install your bar tape, head to Chainsmith Tips and read how to wrap by our head mechanic Ben Blackshaw .

Not keen on the DIY option? You can also book your bar tape for a wrap with the Chainsmith team. Either add it to your bike service booking below or  to book a professional bar wrap.

Otherwise, the instructions for ciclovation tape wrap are below.

• Remove any existing handlebar wrap or tape and clean handlebars thoroughly before installing CICLOVATION™ Handlebar Tape.
  
• Beginning at the bar end, wrap the tape around the handlebar one complete turn around. It is suggested to wrap the right side handlebar clockwise and the left side counter-clockwise from the rider's perspective. While maintaining tension, continue coiling the tape toward the center of the handlebars with each successive wrap overlapping the previous one by approximately half the width of the tape.
  
• At the bulge in the center of the handlbars, cut the handlebar tape at an angle to finish and use the adhesive strips provided or electrical tape to secure into place.
  
• Screw in the plug in position and repeat the process on the other end of the handlebar.
