The anti-slip surface makes a huge difference in control, especially during sweaty rides. It feels secure and comfortable.

Note that this tape does not have adhesive! Old school friction fit using the end cap. This tape is good enough for my budget minded refresh of a 1985 Schwinn World Sport. Chrome end plugs, two small strips for caliper bracket sides and finishing tape included. Installation was not the easiest but turned out nicely. This tape is not very stretchy. Pretty stiff and takes more hand strength and constant tension/pressure and tugging to give a nice flat flush look to thin out the edges. Other reviewers who couldn’t install it nicely simply don’t have the technique down. I probably wouldn’t buy it again as a first choice but totally would for a bike I’m just making a little better on a budget. Good classic look. The final feel is decent enough though not super cushy and has a slight vinyl feel. But that’s what gloves are for. All in all. Good enough for the cost. I can’t speak to the durability (yet).
This handlebar tape looks amazing on my vintage road bike. The PU leather gives it a classy, retro vibe, and it's very comfortable to grip.
