About This Product

Our new bar tape WAVE, represents a further evolution in our historical approach to EVA-based bar tapes as well as a return to local, Italian manufacturing. The base of WAVE is the brand’s signature EVA tape to which a new, proprietary, brushing technique has been applied. This technique, developed in conjunction with our local manufacturing partner, is inspired by the treatments applied to competition-use windsurf booms and allows Cinelli to enhance the grip and feel of the tape without impacting the durability of the product. Includes caps and finishing tape. BARTAPE INSTALLATION TUTORIAL

How to Choose Your Bar Tape Thickness

Thickness is the single biggest factor in how a bar tape feels on the road. Thinner tapes keep the connection to the bar precise and direct — thicker tapes absorb more vibration and reward long days in the saddle. Use this guide to find your range.

1.8 – 2.0 mm

Race. Precision. Minimal.

Built for riders who want to feel everything. Our thinnest tapes offer maximum feedback from the road, minimal bulk on the bar, and the lightest possible build. Ideal for criterium racers, climbers, and anyone who prizes a clean, close connection to the handlebar.

  • Maximum road feel and bar feedback
  • Lightest weight — ideal for race and weight-conscious builds
  • PU and microfiber constructions for race-grade grip
  • Best suited to smooth road surfaces and short to medium rides

  • The best balance of comfort and control
  • Wide material choice: cork, PU microfiber, EVA foam, gel
  • Suitable for road, sportive, and endurance riding

Endurance. Gravel. Maximum Comfort.

Designed for rough roads, long distances, and all-terrain riding. The extra thickness absorbs handlebar vibration over hours, reducing fatigue on cobblestones, gravel, and rough tarmac. Our thickest tapes use dual-compound EVA and Ultra Gel2 technology — the same construction trusted by gravel racers and bikepacking riders.

  • Maximum vibration absorption and hand comfort
  • Dual-compound EVA and Ultra Gel2 construction
  • Ideal for gravel, cobbled classics, and multi-day riding
  • Full 2050mm length for complete bar coverage on wider drops
