The Lizard Skins Handlebar Tape surprises us first with its touch: it is very adherent as well as soft, although its appearance is fragile due to its lightness.
It is as much or more comfortable than the gel ones, being these much heavier and more bulky. The DSP offers a uniform, continuous support surface with a grip even without gloves that makes us think that more than a strap we have installed extra long cuffs.
Feel the grip and comfort of the popular DSP tape, available in 1.8mm thickness. At 208 cm (approximately) it can be adjusted to any handlebar and its weight of only 50 grams including the caps makes it the lightest tape on the market.
Balance is the key to optimal performance in stage racing. Experience the perfect combination of grip and control that teams like AG2R La Mondiale Pro Cycling Team, Lotto Soudal and Movistar Team use to win in the peloton.
As for cleaning, the brand recommends using only water and drying with a towel, and the truth is that in this way it is possible to keep it clean for a long period. For deeper cleanings, we've used a light, lemon-based degreaser with no problems.
What the brand itself advises against is using soapy water, as it could make you lose that magnificent grip even if we have a lot of sweat on our hands.
If we take into account the exclusivity of the material and the results it achieves, it seems that this DSP tape from Lizard Skins is a good purchase option for the most demanding riders in comfort, for those who put more hours of pedaling or those who do a intensive use of your mount.
