Good product - easy to apply if you're careful
This tape looks very pro and feels comfortable - it is reasonably easy to fit as long as you check carefully as you go along and do a bit of online research first. Check out the Park Tools video on YouTube as this is the most helpful. Make sure you leave enough overhang at the beginning as the tape thickness is such that it is not easy to fold the tape into the bar ends and fit the plugs securely unless there is at least half a tape width to tuck in. Then check as you go along, wrapping in the correct direction (see videos) to avoid spotting a mistake too late and having to unwrap and start again. If this does happen, don't panic as it can be removed and re-wrapped without losing adhesion or spoiling the result. There is enough tape as long as you don't try a figure of 8 wrap at the hoods - the tape is too thick for that anyway and you don't need to do that if you fit the small filler pieces at these points carefully after cutting these to size. The finishing adhesive strips that come with the tape are quite useless so use electrical insulating tape instead. Overall, I got a good result having not done this much previously.

Difficult to work with.
I have literally wrapped 100s of bars but the rapha classic tape stands out for being different to work with. This is the first rapha product that has left me disappointed. On plus side when you do get it on and sat right it looks great feels ok, hence 2 stars not one.

Bad bar tape
It isn't the best bar tape - very difficult to wrap compared to many other types, just a poor bar tape and not worth the money.

Don’t buy it
The poorest bar tape I ever had. Looks awesome in the box. But on the handelbar it’s slippery and got no good grip

Great tape!
Again I went for the Rapha Classic bartape.
It's light and comfortable in the hand, lasts and is easy to apply.. I really like the modern classic look, I have used this tape a few times, the best test was last year while riding the Grande route des Alpes.. 6 long days on the bike and my hands never felt sore, didn't need to wear mitts. Can't go wrong with this bartape

Great bar tape that has a real quality feel
Bought the black bar tape with the pink holes. The pink is subtle and you can only really see it close up. The bar tape itself has a leather texture to it. It’s not sticky but offers grip. It’s slightly spongy which takes away some of the road vibration. I will definitely be buying the same when it’s time for a replacement.

Great look
I haven't actually used this bar tape yet. I had bought Rapha take made by Cinelli some time back which is still on my bike performing well, so I bought this version on faith to replace my earlier Rapha bar tape when the time comes.

Motivational tape?
It's good quality, and has a fun motivational piece written on it. It's decent quality, and Rapha manages to add their flair to something imo, mundane, as black bar tape. Just read the text when you're out on a long ride and dog tired: Just keep pedalling.

Looks great, Durable
This preium tape lives up to the name, Rapha. I've have re-wrapped all of my bars with different brands of tape, they've most all done the job; but this tape stands out; durable with great feel. I will keep using this tape in the future.

Nice tape but slippery
Pros: Easy to install, looks nice, durable after a couple thousand miles.
Cons: Not very tacky particularly if there is any moisture on it.
I like to ride without gloves in warmer months, but this tape is far to slippery for that.

Great tape
Good length. Easy to apply and looks great. Only downside is the finishing tape which lacks proper adhesion but I’ve never found a bar tape which has good finishing tape so I take that as a given and just use electrical tape.

classic feel and look.
I ride without gloves so i am a little picky about my bar tape. This has a great feel and doesnt get slick when my hands are sweaty. i love the look and the small hint of Rapha pink that shows through is very nice.

Nice tape.
My old tape was too thick/cushioned, so decided to try the classic tape, initially thought bit plastic, but having used for a couple of months, the feel and cushioning feels great and much improved on the old style.

Klasse!
Lässt sich gut wickeln. Ist lang genug, um auch ohne das kleine Extra-Stück um die Bremshebel zu wickeln. Griffgefühl ist super. Sieht toll aus. Mehr kann man von einem Lenkerband nun wirklich nicht verlangen.

The tape is great and has a great grip.
Great Tape only I would suggest Rapha to have a video on how to install the Tape. Since the pandemic I had to do most of the repairs to my bike. I found one for the right but left was the opposite way.

Premium stuff ;)
After a few rides I’m really satisfied! It feels premium stuff, thick but you have to use gloves to get some grip :/ With sweaty, naked hands you loose your grip, and it’s not good...

Classy and Classic!
Nice tactile feel and pretty comfortable. Nice in the wet too. No loss in grip and easy to clean. The subtle pink in the back of the black tape is a nice finish. Would buy again

Great bar tape.
Excellent bar tape. Easy install, looks great, feels durable yet supple. Wish it came in more sub-colors, i.e. black overall but maybe blue, orange, etc. underneath.

Great value for money
My second bar tape purchase.from this range. Just enough padding for longer rides. I feel it handles well in the wet without slipping. For the price it's a must.

Sieht super aus
Die Qualität ist überzeugend, das Band lässt sich prima wickeln. Mir war es etwas zu kurz, zumindest wenn man es Italienisch wickelt. Ist am Ende richtig knapp.

Highly recommend this bar tape
Best bar tape. Have reviewed before. Have bought before will buy again. Not too hard to keep clean. But my leather gloves (not Rapha) did damage it though.

Nice touch to my bike
Recently purchased tape to add some subtle colour to my road bike. Looks good. Tape a little thick for my liking as needs to bed down a bit.

Sehr gutes Band, aber sehr kurz
Hochwertiges und leicht zu wickelndes Lenkerband, nur 4 Sterne weil zu kurz. Reicht aber bei normaler Wickeltechnik gerade so aus.

not bad
라파 브랜드 보고 구입했는데
그다지 디자인이 뛰어난 것 같지는 않습니다.
흰색 밑의 분홍색이 감고난 뒤에는 전혀 드러나지 않아요.
테잎을 감을 때 여유분이 별도로 들어 있는 것은 좋네요.

Feels good and looks good!
Comfortable and stylish. Thick and grippy enough for the rough roads and hot weather in Cebu, Philippines.
