Overview
Is the Lizard Skins DSP Bar Tape V2 4.6mm Worth the Cushion?
When maximum cushion is the mission, the Lizard Skins DSP Bar Tape V2 in 4.6mm delivers. As the thickest option in the DSP lineup, it absorbs serious vibration through the DSP V2 multi-layer pattern and an enhanced polymer formula built for all-day durability, turning punishing terrain into something your hands can actually handle over hours of riding. This is the tape you reach for when comfort is the priority and mileage is the goal.
The 4.6mm profile is purpose-built for adventure and ultra-distance rides where thinner tapes leave your hands wrecked before you reach camp. The screw-in bar plug provides a secure, professional finish, and the complete kit includes bar tape, finish strips, and clamp covers so you have everything you need for a clean install. If you are building a bikepacking rig, a loaded gravel tourer, or simply want the most comfortable bar wrap available, this is your tape.

FAQ
Good questions
Get to know Lizard Skins
There's more to Lizard Skins than this one product. Our Lizard Skins page has the full Lizard Skins lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Lizard Skins page →Who should choose the 4.6mm over the 2.5mm or 3.2mm?
Riders prioritizing comfort over direct road feel should go with the 4.6mm. It is the right choice for bikepacking, loaded touring, gravel adventuring, or anyone with hand fatigue issues who needs maximum vibration damping over long days in the saddle.
Does the extra thickness affect handling or control?
The 4.6mm does reduce direct handlebar feedback compared to thinner options, which is a tradeoff most adventure and endurance riders are happy to make. The DSP V2 pattern still provides excellent grip and control, so handling confidence remains high even at this thickness.
Is the 4.6mm suitable for multi-day rides?
Absolutely. The 4.6mm was designed with multi-day riding in mind. The enhanced polymer holds up to extended use, weather exposure, and the kind of mileage that would destroy a standard foam or cork tape.
