Deda ElementiPresa Handlebar Tape

Excellent grip but I feel it would be easier to use if it had a little more stretch.

Easy to use, great quality and have a lovely under hand feel on the bike. Gel mitts no longer necessary on hot summer rides. Good grip in the wet too. I recommend Deda every time. And the tape looks stunning!

Bought this because I found a few reviews suggesting it was the best value bar tape.After installing I didn't find it all that grippy. And when its properly installed, its significantly less cushioned than others in the price range, even at a listed 3.0 mm. The finishing tape is fairly gaudy, and they seem more about the name than the product.There's nothing 'wrong' with it per se, its just a mediocre product at an okay price.

Really nice bar tape that not only adds a little colour to the cockpit to match with the frame but is comfortable to grip/hold and wasn't a pain in the rear to wrap on the bars. Overall very happy and keeps the bike looking smart.

Tape is strong and well padded. HOWEVER this tape was a second. After I had installed the first side I found the second lengthe had bee taped together. It looked like a roll end about 20cm added to a length to make the full 2m length. I had already stripped off the tape and was 50% through the project so could not return it. Very hacked off as I'm going to have to get another set of tape just for this side of the bike. I was going to rate as 1* but the tape itself is decent stuff.

Trying to get refund but not clear how to do it without return, which is not good for the environment given it will go straigh in bin

Decent enough bar tape but the adhesive backing is a pain to wrap. The tape is comfortable but not as comfy as the usual Supcaz Kush I use.

Excellent tape, good grip, even in the wet, it looks fantastic.
