FAQ

Why do Pro Tour teams choose the 2.5mm DSP for the Spring Classics?

The 2.5mm thickness provides enough cushion to take the edge off cobblestone and rough roads while preserving the direct, responsive handlebar feel that sprinters and climbers rely on. The DSP V2 polymer also maintains grip in wet and muddy conditions, which matters a lot over several hours of racing on variable roads.

Is the 2.5mm a good fit for cyclocross?

Yes. The 2.5mm is a popular choice for CX riders who need reliable grip and durability through a full cyclocross season. The polymer holds up to mud, moisture, and repeated dismounts far better than traditional tape options.

How is the V2 different from the original DSP tape?

The V2 features a redesigned multi-layer pattern with more technical depth, an upgraded polymer formula with improved durability, and a new screw-in bar plug for a cleaner, more secure finish compared to the original design.
