For riders who like to be flamboyant in a stealthy way. Burgh's 'X' Stealth Bar Tape uses a Spot UV print, so the black-on-black pattern glistens when the light catches it at the right angle.

Highlights

• Repeating X pattern in black-on-black Spot UV print
• Burgh's polymer blend: water resistant, shock absorbing and grippy, even in the wet
• 2.5mm thick, tapering to 1.8mm at the edges for a neat overlap
• Silicone gel backing: easy to wrap, lifts away cleanly and can be rewrapped
• Two 220cm rolls with screw-in end plugs and finishing tapes

Black on black, with a twist

At a glance it's black tape. Catch it in the light and the Spot UV-printed X pattern appears, leaving people surprised it isn't just standard black tape. It's the little details that count.

Burgh's Classic range

Classic is Burgh's everyday tape for road, track, gravel and commuting. Burgh's polymer blend creates a surface that is water resistant, shock absorbing and grippy, even in the wettest conditions, and it hoses off after a muddy ride. It has plenty of stretch for easy installation: Burgh recommends firm, steady tension rather than pulling hard, as over-stretching can crack or snap the tape. Finish the wrap with regular or electrical tape, then top it off with the supplied finishing tape.

Easy to wrap, easy to redo

The silicone gel backing makes wrapping forgiving: if a wrap doesn't go to plan, unwrap it and start again. That also helps on modern integrated cockpits where you may need to rewrap. If any light residue lingers after removal, Burgh suggests acetone, a hair dryer or a citrus cleaner.

Compatibility & fit

Burgh states its tape works with standard drop bars used in road and gravel cycling. Each roll is 220cm long; for extra-wide gravel bars Burgh points riders to its longer Endurance range. Bar tape fitting is a separate Tune Cycles workshop service and is not included.
