Coast Bar Tape

Bar tape is a grip material wrapped around the handlebars of a bicycle. It enhances comfort and grip for your hands, absorbs shocks from the road, and improves control while riding. This is especially crucial for road and gravel bikes, where vibrations can affect your ride quality.

Anodized bar end plugs have undergone a process that makes them more durable and resistant to corrosion. This not only enhances their appearance with a stylish matte black finish but also ensures they last longer, providing reliable performance and aesthetics for your bike.

Anti-slip refers to a feature that prevents slipping or sliding of your hands on the handlebars. This is particularly important for cyclists, as it ensures a secure grip even in wet conditions, helping you maintain control of your bike and reducing the risk of accidents.

Shock-absorbing bar tape is designed to cushion your hands from bumps and jolts experienced on rough surfaces. This feature enhances comfort during long rides and provides a more stable experience, allowing you to focus on enjoying your ride without discomfort.

The PNW design indicates that the product has been specifically tested and designed to perform well in the diverse and often wet weather conditions typical of this region. If you ride in similar variable conditions, this bar tape will provide the durability and grip you need for a safe and enjoyable ride.

You can definitely install bar tape yourself! Most bar tape comes with easy-to-follow instructions, and with a little practice, you can achieve a professional-looking wrap. This DIY approach not only saves you money but also allows you to customize your bike to your liking.
