This handlebar tape is designed for gravel and cyclocross riders using dropped bar bikes. Its key benefit is providing a smooth, mud-shedding surface with excellent grip, combined with vibration-dampening cushioning. A potential caveat is that its unique sticky gel backing, while great for easy cleaning and chatter reduction, might require a slightly different approach to installation compared to traditional adhesive tapes.

The sticky gel backing serves two main purposes: it acts as a secure, reusable attachment method (replacing adhesive) and effectively damps off-road vibrations without making the tape feel too soft or 'squishy'.
While designed for off-road (gravel/CX), its smooth, tacky, and comfortable features can also be beneficial for road cyclists seeking enhanced grip and vibration damping.
You can remove the tape by carefully peeling it off the handlebars. Wash it with mild soap and water, rinse, and let it air dry completely before reattaching.
Solocush refers to Fizik's streamlined, single-layer cushioning construction. It provides comfort through texture and material properties, maintaining a lightweight profile.
Yes, the gel backing is designed for easy removal and reapplication without losing its effectiveness or leaving residue.
The tape is available in BLACK, BROWN, DARK BLUE, GREEN, LIGHT GREY, RED, and WHITE.
The Fizik Terra Microtex Solocush Tacky Tape is 3.5mm thick.
This tape uses a Solocush construction with 3.5mm thickness. For more cushioning, consider adding gel inserts under the tape or exploring thicker handlebar tape options.
Ensure you are applying consistent tension while wrapping. Overlap each layer sufficiently (about 1/3 to 1/2 of the width) to create a solid base. The gel backing provides grip, but proper wrapping technique is key.
The tacky finish is designed for grip on the bike. Off the bike, it might feel very sticky. This is normal and ensures secure hand placement during riding.
The gel backing is designed to be residue-free upon removal. If any slight tackiness remains on the handlebar, it can be easily cleaned with isopropyl alcohol.
