Silca Nastro Cuscino Bar Tape

Bar tape, rethought

Silca built Nastro Cuscino by borrowing from running-shoe foam, F1 tires and their own research on rolling efficiency and vibration damping. Instead of a single foam extrusion, it's a laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon and 3M visco-elastic adhesive, so each layer does its own job.

The result feels softer, grips better wet or dry, isolates more road buzz, and lasts 3 to 5 times longer than typical tape.

The wrap matters as much as the tape, so every kit includes a full adhesive-backed butterfly piece to cover the back of the lever clamp without bulk, high-grip finishing tape, and expanding aluminum/composite end plugs.

Which thickness?

• 2.5mm: thinner for a closer feel of the bar
• 3.75mm: thicker for more cushion on long days and rough roads

Want it wrapped? We'll do it in the shop.
