Burgh's Hieroglyph bar tape borrows from ancient Egypt: a grid of quirky symbols with a few Burgh X's hidden in the mix. It's subtle enough for the conservative, and it grips, cushions and shrugs off the wet like all Burgh Classic tape.

Highlights

• Grippy, water-resistant polymer surface that holds on in wet, muddy conditions
• Shock-absorbing 2.5mm tape, tapering to 1.8mm at the edges for a neat overlap
• Silicone gel backing lets you unwrap and rewrap without ruining the tape
• Two 220cm rolls, two screw-in end plugs and two finishing tapes in the box
• Grid of Egyptian-inspired symbols and Burgh X's, in the Stealth colourway

Classic range construction

Burgh's polymer blend makes a surface that is water resistant, shock absorbing and grippy, even in the wettest conditions. It's 2.5mm thick through the middle and tapers to 1.8mm at the edges, so each overlap sits flat. Mud and grit wipe off with a damp cloth.

Silicone gel backing

The silicone gel backing holds the wrap in place but lifts away cleanly, so you can unwrap and rewrap if the first attempt isn't right, or when a bar or cable job means the tape has to come off. Burgh recommends firm, steady tension. Over-stretching can crack or snap the tape. Want it done for you? Bar tape fitting is available as a separate Tune Cycles workshop service.

Compatibility & fit

Burgh makes its tape for standard drop bars used in road and gravel riding. Each box has enough for one handlebar: two 220cm rolls, two screw-in end plugs and two finishing tapes. Burgh doesn't list flat-bar fitment.
