The Supacaz Super Sticky Kush Splat Blue Refract Bar Tape represents the perfect marriage of world-class racing performance and high-octane aesthetic design. As the preferred choice of multiple world champions and the professional peloton, this premium tape is engineered to elevate both your bicycle's handling and its style credentials. The defining feature of the Splat series is its limited-edition, high-contrast visual layout. Utilising an iridescent "Blue Refract" pigment overlay, the randomized paint-splatter graphics actively shift in hue and catch the light from deep ocean tones to electric blue flashes as you ride down the road.
Beneath the striking exterior lies a highly technical three-layer construction tailored for demanding Australian road, criterium, and mixed-terrain conditions. The top layer is crafted from an advanced HydroActiv polyurethane that remains incredibly tacky and secure, ensuring your hands will not slip during sweat-inducing summer climbs or sudden winter downpours. This surface is deeply embossed with the signature Supacaz geometric motif, which works to channel moisture away from your palms while augmenting mechanical grip. Directly underneath, a specialized Kush Foam compound effectively dampens high-frequency road vibrations and chassis chatter. At a nimble 2.5mm thickness, it significantly reduces hand fatigue and wrist numbness without adding unnecessary bulk to your cockpit. Complete with 100% aluminum screw-and-expand bar plugs, this kit provides a secure, unravel-proof finishing job.
Ultra-Tacky Polyurethane: Features an advanced HydroActiv PU top layer that delivers an unyielding, professional-tier grip that excels in both dry and wet conditions.
Blue Refract Splat Aesthetic: Showcases a brilliant, light-reflective iridescent blue splatter pattern over a stealth black base to deliver a customized, high-end look.
Vibration-Dampening Kush Foam: Infused with a thin layer of specialized foam that neutralises harsh road buzz and improves bike handling over coarse chip-seal roads.
Signature Supacaz Emboss: The geometric micro-textures work actively to wick away sweat and palm moisture while heightening multi-directional friction.
Aluminum Star Plugz: Includes premium, 100% aluminum expanding bar end plugs with a secure 3mm hex-bolt mechanism that completely prevents the tape from unraveling.
Weather and UV Resistant: Highly resilient against intense UV rays, changing weather conditions, and corrosive sweat to keep the colors vibrant over time.

✅ Why This IS For You
Grip Lovers: Ideal if you hate slipping on your handlebars or prefer riding without gloves, as the material stays incredibly tacky even when soaked with sweat.
Custom Bike Builders: Perfect if you are looking to add a pop of personalized color to your cockpit that shifts beautifully when it catches the Australian sun.
Criterium and Road Racers: The 2.5mm profile offers a highly direct, positive steering feel and crisp feedback from the front wheel during aggressive cornering.
Riders Dealing with Loose Bar Plugs: The included aluminum expansion plugs lock tightly into your handlebars using a hex key, meaning they won't fall out mid-ride.
❌ Why This May NOT Be For You
Minimalist Traditionalists: If you strictly prefer a classic, stealthy, monochromatic black-cockpit aesthetic, the aggressive splatter pattern might be too loud for your build.
Chunky Gravel Seekers: While the Kush Foam provides great dampening, riders tackling heavy, corrugated gravel roads may prefer a thicker, dedicated gravel tape (such as 3.2mm variants).
Rough Bike Leanners: The iridescent "Blue Refract" splat is a premium surface-applied metallic pigment; it can scuff or scratch noticeably if you frequently lean the bars against raw brick walls.
To get the most visual impact out of the Splat Blue Refract design, pay close attention to your overlap consistency as you wrap up the drops. Because the splatter graphics are randomized across the roll, maintaining a strict 1/3 or 50% overlap ensures the blue bursts look perfectly balanced rather than clustered. Once finished, don't just shove the Star Plugz in at random—rotate them so the laser-etched stars are oriented identically on both the left and right sides before tightening the 3mm hex bolt for that absolute professional finish!
