SUPACAZ SUPER STICKY KUSH BAR TAPE BLACK
The Professional Choice for Performance and Grip.
The Supacaz Super Sticky Kush in Classic Black is the most versatile and popular version of the tape used by 3x World Champion Peter Sagan. While the "Star Fade" versions offer a splash of color, the Classic Black provides a clean, understated look that complements any frame color or cockpit setup. It features the same high-performance materials designed to fuse style with race-ready functionality.
Utilizing a high-tech HydroActiv PU top layer, this tape is specifically engineered to maintain its tackiness even when your hands are soaked in sweat or during heavy rain. This makes it a top choice for competitive riders who need absolute control during high-speed descents or technical cornering without the bulk of a thicker tape.
Key Features
Super Sticky PU (Top Layer): Provides an unmatched tacky feel that actually improves as it gets damp, ensuring a secure grip in all weather conditions.
Kush Foam (Middle Layer): A proprietary nano-foam compound that offers significant vibration dampening to reduce hand fatigue while keeping the tape thin and responsive.
Embossed Star Pattern: The iconic Supacaz pattern isn't just for looks; it acts as a moisture-wicking channel to keep your palms dry and maximize grip.
Aluminum Star Plugz: These high-end bar ends feature a screw-and-expand (3mm) system, ensuring they stay firmly in place unlike standard plastic push-in plugs.
Highly Resistant: The polyurethane material is engineered to be resistant to UV rays, climate changes, and sweat, preventing the tape from becoming brittle or slippery over time.
Professional Finish: Includes high-end rubberized finishing tape with a frost print pattern for a secure and clean closure near the stem.

✅ Why This IS For You
Competitive Road Riders: If you want the exact same setup as the pros, this tape provides the ultimate balance of grip, weight, and road feedback.
Sweaty-Handed Cyclists: The HydroActiv resin is specifically designed for riders whose hands get slippery; it provides more "bite" the wetter it gets.
Classic Aesthetic Fans: Perfect for those who want a "stealth" look that won't clash with team kits or custom paint jobs.
❌ Why This May NOT be for you
Rough Gravel Enthusiasts: While comfortable, the 2.5mm thickness is thinner than the Supacaz Gravel Tape. If you ride primarily on chunky rocks, the 3.2mm gravel version is a better choice.
Extreme Comfort Seekers: Riders who want a "pillowy" or oversized feel might prefer a thick gel-backed tape over this performance-oriented thin foam.
Budget-Minded Mechanics: As a premium product, it sits at a higher price point than standard cork tapes, though it typically outlasts them in durability.
BFC Pro Tip
The Super Sticky Kush is quite stretchy, which is great for a tight wrap, but do not over-stretch it around the shifter hoods. If pulled too thin in those high-wear areas, the PU top layer can wear out prematurely. Use a moderate, even tension throughout the wrap to ensure the Kush Foam retains its vibration-absorbing properties and the star pattern remains uniform.
