Overview

What makes the Lizard Skins DSP Ultra 2.7mm the go-to endurance bar tape?

The Lizard Skins DSP Ultra Bar Tape in 2.7mm strikes the balance between comfort and control that long days in the saddle demand. With more cushioning than the 1.9mm version, it is built for endurance riders, gran fondos, and cyclocross racers who want a slightly softer grip without losing road feel. A next-generation DuraSoft polymer and an updated, higher surface-area pattern improve handling and grip in all conditions, while premium 3M adhesive makes for a fast, secure wrap that stays put.

This is the tape Lizard Skins-sponsored Pro Tour teams reach for during the Spring Classics, and it is the brand's best-selling thickness for good reason. The reformulated polymer boosts long-term durability and tactile feel, the clean updated pattern adds visual pop to any cockpit, and each pack comes complete with everything you need to finish the job. Available here in four colors, the DSP Ultra 2.7mm is a dependable, great-looking upgrade for road, gravel, and cross bikes alike.

How does the 2.7mm compare to the 1.9mm and 3.5mm?

The 2.7mm is the best-selling middle thickness. It adds cushioning over the race-focused 1.9mm for more comfort on long rides, while staying thinner and more connected to the bar than the 3.5mm, which is aimed at rough pavement and gravel. It is the balanced all-rounder for endurance and cyclocross.

Does it come with everything to wrap both sides?

Yes. Each pack includes 2 rolls of tape, 2 screw-in bar plugs, 2 clamp covers, and 2 finish strips, so you have everything needed to wrap a full set of drop bars.

Is the adhesive strong enough to stay put?

It uses premium 3M adhesive for a secure, hassle-free wrap that holds through sweat, weather, and long miles. The updated polymer and higher surface-area pattern also improve grip in all conditions.
