Nastro Cuscino is SILCA's cushioned bar tape, an award winner that pairs real damping with a grippy, durable surface. Choose 2.5 mm for a balanced feel or 3.75 mm for maximum comfort on rough roads and gravel.

Highlights

  • Laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon and 3M visco-elastic adhesive
  • 3.75 mm version: SILCA says it damps like 5 mm of other tapes
  • Higher wet and dry grip; SILCA quotes 3-5x the durability of existing tape materials
  • Adhesive-backed butterfly piece covers the lever clamp without bulk
  • 3.75 mm is a Tour Magazine test winner

Built in layers

Inspired by running-shoe foams and F1 tyres, SILCA replaces a single foam extrusion with a laminate. Each layer is tuned for its job, giving a softer feel, better vibration isolation and more grip than a one-piece tape.

Finishing kit

Every roll includes a full adhesive-backed butterfly strip for the back of the lever clamp, a high-grip adhesive finishing tape and aluminium end plugs (laser engraved on the 3.75 mm version).

Compatibility & fit

Rolls are 230 cm (±10%), long enough to wrap standard drop bars with some to spare. Bar tape fitting is available as a separate Tune Cycles workshop service.
