SILCA NASTRO CUSCINO, 2.5, red

The most advanced foam ever used in bar tape along with an extremely long wearing and tacky top layer, this is the ultimate in comfort.

Specification:

• 2.5mm of cushion similar dampening
to 3.5mm in other tapes.
• Laser engraved aluminum end plug.
• Fully adhesive finishing tape.
• Butterfly clamp cover that doesn't add
bulk.
• SILCA Crash Replacement Program

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 new materials technology could allow for a significant improvement in bar tape. 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. 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. 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.
