Wolf Tooth Supple Silicone Bar Tape — Black 5mm Thick, 40mm Wide for Road & Gravel — Cushioned, Weather-Resistant Grip

Wolf Tooth Supple Bar Tape in black is a 5mm-thick, 40mm-wide silicone bar wrap that delivers extra cushioning, grip, and weather-resistant durability for drop-bar bikes.

Designed to replace multiple layers of conventional tape, this single-wrap silicone solution gives riders a plush, tacky contact surface that resists packing out and washes clean. Its extra-thick profile and wide coverage make it ideal for demanding terrain where vibration, mud, and long miles challenge both comfort and control. The kit includes self-fusing silicone finishing tape so you can create a neat, durable finish once wrapped.

How does this bar tape change the feel of my handlebars?

The Supple Bar Tape adds significant cushioning without bulky layering: a single wrap provides the cushioning that would otherwise require several turns of traditional tape. Its 5mm thickness and 40mm width produce a fuller, more ergonomic grip that reduces hand fatigue on rough roads and trails.

• 5mm silicone material for vibration absorption
• 40mm width covers more handlebar surface per wrap
• Wide single-layer feel replaces multiple conventional layers

Will this tape stay grippy in wet or muddy conditions?

Yes — the silicone compound is intentionally tacky and sheds water, helping hands stay planted whether you’re in rain, mud, or wearing thin gloves. The washable surface cleans easily after gritty rides and maintains texture without packing out like foam or cork over time.

• Tacky silicone keeps contact secure in all weather
• Washable surface resists dirt buildup and wear
• Durable compound designed to retain grip over long use

How do I install the Wolf Tooth silicone bar tape correctly?

Installation follows familiar drop-bar wrapping steps but with attention to stretch: don’t overstretch the tape to avoid tearing. For best feel, test stretch (10 inches to ~13 inches) and aim to stretch 10 inches of tape to cover about 12 inches of bar; use the included self-fusing finishing tape to seal the wrap cleanly near the stem.

• Tools: scissors, mallet, marker/pen
• Start at bar ends and wrap inward, maintaining a 25mm stagger for smoothness
• Use included silicone finishing tape for a neat, bonded finish

What handlebars and riders is this tape compatible with?

Supple Bar Tape is sized for drop-style handlebars found on road, gravel, and many cyclocross bikes. Its generous width and stretch make it simple to adapt to different bar shapes; increasing overlap will add cushion but can create a bumpier surface if overdone.

• Fits all road-style drop bars
• Adjust overlap to fine-tune padding and profile
• Avoid excessive overstretch to prevent tearing

Who is this for? Cyclists who want a long-lasting, maintenance-friendly upgrade to traditional bar tape will appreciate Wolf Tooth Supple Bar Tape. It’s especially useful for riders who prioritize comfort and grip on rough roads or technical gravel, and for anyone who prefers a single-layer, washable, silicone wrap that keeps shape and tack over time.
