Overview

What makes SILCA Nastro Cuscino 3.75 the most comfortable bar tape?

The SILCA Nastro Cuscino 3.75mm is SILCA's maximum-comfort bar tape, built for riders who want better vibration isolation along with grip and durability. It uses the same tri-laminate as the rest of the line, a SILCAthane outer grip ply of ultra high tack, high strength TPU, a SILCAlon cushion layer developed with the foam companies behind modern running shoe foam, and a 3M Visco-elastic adhesive for targeted damping. At 3.75mm it delivers cushioning equivalent to 5mm of traditional foam, with higher wet and dry grip. It earned Tour Magazin's bar tape Test Winner.

It comes with a full adhesive-backed butterfly for clean lever-clamp coverage, high-grip finishing tape, and expanding aluminum/composite end plugs, at 230cm +/- 10% per roll, and is automatically enrolled in SILCA's Crash Replacement Program. Available here in six colors.
