The Positz Cork Handlebar Tape in black is our most popular road bike bar tape for a reason. It gives riders a comfortable, secure feel on the bars without spending big money, helping you stay relaxed and in control on every ride. This is the go-to choice when you want reliable grip and comfort that just works.
If you ride regularly and your hands cop a beating from rough roads, chip seal or long hours in the saddle, this tape makes a real difference. It takes the sting out of vibrations, feels good in dry or sweaty conditions, and is easy to wrap cleanly. It’s the sort of bar tape we recommend when someone asks for something affordable that still feels right from the first ride.
Who is this for?
Ideal for riders who want a classic cork feel with modern performance. It suits road cyclists building or refreshing a bike on a sensible budget, commuters who ride often, and weekend riders who value comfort over flashy extras. If you want a proven, popular handlebar tape that does its job day after day, this is it.
Who is this not for?
This is not for riders chasing ultra-thick padding, gel inserts, or a super tacky race-style surface. If you want maximum cushioning for extreme endurance events or a highly textured tape for aggressive sprinting, you may want to look at more specialised options.
Why we love it
We love this tape because it punches well above its price. We’ve wrapped it on countless bikes and it consistently feels comfortable, wraps neatly, and stays put. Our favourite part is how forgiving it is on rough roads while still feeling slim and natural in the hand.
Hot tip!
When wrapping, pull the tape firm but not overstretched, and overlap slightly more on the tops where your hands rest most. You’ll get extra comfort right where you feel it on long rides, without adding bulk near the drops.

Good tape, will get more when needed. Dispatched and arrived very quickly. The tape is perfect for my use. Will be back to buy more when I need to replace these rolls. Always prefer to support Australian companies.
Graet costumers service and great product too

I am hard core cyclist, and know my handlebars tape. This tape has a lots going for it . Comfort , yes it is . Durability , this tape is hard wearing and I spent 20 hrs a week on it up to six months so far , also the tape doesn’t move around which sold me on it . Finally the price is less than half of the big brands , 10/10, all my bike use this tape, great tape
