The Best Handlebar Tape for Gravel 2024
Bar Tape. Often overlooked yet such a critical connection. Maybe even the most underrated of all equipment choices on your most capable bike. Riding drop bar bikes off-road for nearly 10 years I’ve never met a tape I really liked, until now.
Last summer ENVE released its own simple yet extremely effective version to accompany one of their most popular offerings. Perhaps an obvious move for the company behind the G Series Gravel Handlebar, shown here. What surprised me was the attention to detail, from fit to finish. An extra measure of length, dual-sided yet minimal design, and it’s unmatched feel while not being overly thick. Barehanded gravel riding has never felt this good.
OUR FAVORITE FEATURES
It’s long, 250cm to be exact for better fit
