The best bartape in the world? Dropbars become a comfort zone! Ergon has long used advanced materials from the medical and orthopedic fields – like our premium OrthoCell® foam – as supportive and damping elements in its selected saddles. Now, this high-tech material brings its exceptional performance to drop style handlebars. OrthoCell® offers an outstanding balance of cushioning and rebound, providing a comfortable, responsive grip without the hands sinking in or feeling spongy. The tape also distributes pressure evenly across the hands, helping to reduce hand discomfort and finger numbness during long rides. Made in Europe.
UNIQUE MATERIAL Maximum Grip Comfort – Minimal Fatigue
With OrthoCell®– our high-tech orthopedic foam – Ergon introduces a revolutionary material to handlebar tape that has already proven itself thousands of times over in our popular saddles. Now, for the first time, this premium material brings its advanced performance to your hands.
Made in Europe from medical-grade raw materials, OrthoCell® offers an outstanding balance of flexibility and stability. At 3mm thick, the tape effectively absorbs micro-vibrations and heavy impacts, outperforming traditional cork or gel tapes in absorbing road and trail surface bumps, potholes and uneven transitions.
Despite its cushioning power, the tape remains dimensionally stable – your hands won’t sink into it, you’ll retain precise steering control and the tape will stay in place on the bars. The result? A secure grip with less effort, reducing fatigue in your hands and forearms mile after mile.
ALWAYS IN CONTROL Omnidirectional Texture for Maximum Grip
To minimize the effort needed to maintain control, the handlebar tape features an omnidirectional surface texture that delivers outstanding slip resistance. No matter the direction of impacts or vibrations, your hands stay securely in place – without needing to grip too tightly.
The result? Less strain or fatigue with more comfort and control on every ride – so you can stay in the saddle longer and ride stronger.
SUITABLE FOR ALL DROPBARS Extra Length for Modern Handlebar Shapes
At 2.5 meters long, BT OrthoCell® handlebar tape provides added length and flexibility during installation. While standard 2 meter long bar tapes are typically enough for compact road handlebars, they often fall short on wider gravel or all-road bars –especially those with wide flared drops.
The extended length of BT OrthoCell® ensures full coverage, even on oversized bars, and allows more overlap in high-stress or pressure-sensitive areas for extra comfort and control.
