Ultra Performance 1.85mm thick Tri-Laminate design delivers equivalent cushioning to 2.5mm tapes

Since the actual wrap of the tape can be as important as the tape itself, we've also developed a full adhesive backed 'butterfly' to better cover the back of the lever clamp area without adding bulk, a high-grip finishing tape, and expanding aluminum/composite end plugs to ensure every detail is perfect. The resulting tape has a softer, more comfortable feel, higher wet and dry grip, better vibration isolation, and 3-5x the durability of existing tape materials. Using a laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon and 3M Visco-elastic adhesive instead of a single-foam extrusion, the tape can be optimized across a range of desired features. Inspired by advancements in running shoe foam and F1 tires as well as our own research into rolling efficiency, impedance, and damping, we realized that materials technology could allow for a significant improvement in bar tape. The Asymmetric Piloti Texture inspired by F1 tire technology allows the tape to be wrapped in either a moderate-texture or high-texture format depending on preference. Silca Nastro Piloti is a 1.85mm-thick tape for aggressive riding and racing which provides cushioning equivalent to 2.5mm thick tapes of existing technology.

CUSCINO has a strong texture, medium-high tackiness, and printed silicone graphics which adds comfort and grip in both wet and dusty conditions. The following recommendations should be appropriate for a variety of disciplines spanning cross-country to UCI-style downhill riding.Nastro Cuscino is a Tri-Laminate 3.75mm-thick tape that provides cushioning and comfort equivalent to 5mm of traditional bar tape foam. We solicited recommendations from the mountain bikers on Bicycling’s staff, then tested several variants on a variety of punishing terrain, from the black-diamond slate of Windrock Park in Tennessee to Boreal Mountain’s sandy slopes in Tahoe. Prone to wrist injuries or hand pain? Consider a suspension grip, a new technology that allows the grip to imperceptibly move on the bar, reducing the harshness of shocks to the body. When it comes to grip thickness, the rule of thumb is, “Get the thickest grip you can comfortably hold.” This will reduce hand fatigue and impact soreness. They’re also easy to remove and replace by simply loosening the screws. These stay-put grips generally feature an inner alloy or plastic liner beneath the rubberized material, and the entire system mounts to your bar ends via metal lock rings that you screw tight. Riders who expect frequent airtime or rugged terrain will often opt for lock-on grips instead. After being slid on with some sort of lubricant (hairspray is popular, but there are also “grip glues” available), they will generally stay put. The majority of grips are made from a rubber or foam compound. Today’s grips are often specialized for an individual type of mountain biking and can be found in several thicknesses. In the years since there, there’s been a technological explosion in what was traditionally a very simple product. By 1995, the industry had largely settled on flangeless variants of BMX grips, often impregnated with some sort of gel. In the beginning, there was no such thing as a mountain bike grip the first “clunkers” used the molded hard-rubber handles found on every kid’s newspaper-delivery special.
