 A great, durable system, June 21, 2008
By Long-rider (Sacramento, Ca. United States)
|
|
This system is easy to custom cut, stays put, adds a lot of protection, and can be taped over again and again. Use Torelli Moda Chunky tape for a top-notch system comfortable enough for a double century. (see pic for finished handlebar)

Road cyclists -- you need this stuff, February 5, 2011
By LoneWolf15
|
|
I'm a road bike enthusiast, usually putting on about 1,500 miles a summer. I first found out about this product because I normally double-wrapped my handlebars. I have large hands, so extra diameter is useful to me, and my neck and shoulders aren't as flexible as they used to be, so I can use the extra comfort.
This stuff adds a lot of shock absorption, great if you do day-long rides or tours. I have ridden across Iowa four times, and I was a lot less sore at the end of the day due to this product. If you're a cyclist who likes comfort, this is a simple, inexpensive upgrade you owe it to yourself to buy.
The downside? Well, you'll probably have to buy new bar tape, since you'll have to re-wrap your handlebars. That's the only one. But hey, now you have an excuse to get that tape with the skull-and-crossbones pattern you told your wife you wanted...

Very Nice!, August 29, 2011
By Esquire (Oklahoma City, USA)
|

So it makes your handlebars a little bit bulkier, and it adds a bit of time to the bar-taping process, but it's completely worth it. Now I can ride pothole-ridden roads without cycling gloves! The pads appear to be high-quality, and I should be able to reuse them.
It states in the instruction book that if you don't want a bulky wrap, wrap the bars in Fi'zi:k Microtex Tape in conjuction with these pads (but I can't vouch for that).
Also, I have large handlebars and still needed to cut them a bit to make them fit. In my opinion, it's a great value for the money. Highly recommend if you are about to rewrap your bars anyway.

Nice gel bar really comfortable, June 24, 2011
By Man Yu Lui
|
|
I ordered 3 sets of these to install on my 2 road bikes and my wife's road bike. The gel bars are thin, solid, sticky, and can be cut to fit your handle bar. You get 4 pieces per set and would install the straight pieces on the drop and the curved pieces near the hoods. You will have to unwrap your handle bar (if already wrapped), peel off sheets off of the gel bars, stick the gel bars to the handle bar, then wrap the bar with your favorite bar tape. The gel bars can be removed, washed, and reinstalled, so you will only ever need one set per bike count you own. With the gel bars, the handlebar is much more comfortable to hold and keeps you well insulated from the energy robbing vibration. I highly recommend this product.

You can't have too much comfort on a bike, July 28, 2010
By W. Brian Kennedy
|
|
As a randonneur (long distance cycling) enthusiast, I'm constantly looking to add comfort to my bike. Fizik Bar Gel is simply awesome. Unlike some other brands you can cut and trim the gel as necessary. Along with dampening road vibration, it feels extremely comfortable on the hands.

Great padding. Better than double taping or cushioned tape alone, March 29, 2012
By consumer (Cincinnati, Ohio)
|
|
I typically use either a cushioned tape or double tape. i recently used FIZIK microtex tape and found it thin and relatively uncomfortable use. I double taped my bar but decided to try the FIZIK bar gel this year.
I went with the recommendation of another reviewer and used the FIZIK bar gel and the SRAM tape.
Wow, what a difference. The gel is easy to apply and the SRAM tape is a perfect match.
For all of those who are using extra padded gloves or find that the hands become numb, try this bar gel. The difference is noticeable on the first ride.
With respect to the FIZIK microtex tape, it is durable, but is very thin and difficult to use. It is non compliant and it will fold going around the curves of the bend.
Try this gel with the SRAM.

 Fizik Bar Gel, December 18, 2011
By Old Bike Rider
|
|
The Bar Gel fits ok under the handle bar tape. I am still trying to decide how well it works. At this point, I have ridden around 100 miles using the Bar Gel. Since winter is starting, the temperatures when I ride have ranged from zero Fahrenheit up to about 30. I have either ridden with thick gloves or heavy mittens which also do a good job of damping vibration. I installed the Bar Gel after a recent bike re-build. While I was waiting for the Bar Gel to arrive, I made several rides with bare aluminum handle bars. It was noticeable how well aluminum conducted heat out of my hands. The Bar Gel and new tape certainly helped me keep my hands warmer. I will have to wait until next spring when I can ride bare handed to decide if the Bar Gel really makes any difference. My initial impression is that the $18 I spent on the Bar Gel would feel about as good in my pocket as the Bar Gel does when I ride. Maybe I will have a different opinion after my first century this spring.

Really Good Stuff!, May 21, 2012
By David K. Woods
|
|
I was reluctant to shell out the money for this stuff because I feared it could be just one more over hyped product but it REALLY works. I added it under existing store brand gel tape and it has stopped all hand discomfort. It provides exceptional cushioning. This product is worth the money and then some.

 Not any better than a piece of padded handlebar tape, May 16, 2012
By DBC in KC (Kansas City, MO)
|
|
This material really isn't any more cushioned than a piece of padded handlebar tape. My recommendation is to save a little bit of your old padded tape and use it under your newly taped bars. Same result.
The Fizik product is easy to cut to contour the bars and is packaged nicely but overall I would not buy again.
I have used the Cinelli gel inserts and they are definitely more cushioned (but thicker too). I will go back to the Cinelli product.
