Discover the legendary comfort and performance of the Cinelli Original Cork Bar Tape, a true pioneer in cycling accessories since 1983. Designed by Antonio Colombo, this bar tape introduced a revolutionary blend of EVA and natural cork, delivering a unique combination of grip, cushioning, and durability that transformed the cycling experience. Its lightweight yet resilient composition offers superior vibration absorption, reducing hand fatigue on long rides while maintaining excellent control.
Adopted worldwide by professionals and enthusiasts alike, the Original Cork Ribbon has set the benchmark in bar tape technology. Its iconic texture and feel have inspired countless imitations, but none match the authentic quality and comfort of Cinelli's original formula. This bar tape not only enhances steering precision but also elevates your bike’s aesthetic with its classic, timeless design.
Recognized with the 2000 Consumer Choice Award, it remains the preferred choice for riders seeking reliable performance and style. Trust in the genuine Cinelli Original Cork Bar Tape—because if it’s not Cinelli, it’s not original cork ribbon.

Yes, it is compatible with most road and touring bicycles, providing excellent grip and comfort.
How durable is this bar tape compared to others?
Its EVA and natural cork composition offers a great balance of durability and comfort, lasting longer than traditional cotton or vinyl tapes.
