Leather Bar
Tape

Natural materials develop over time for a unique and personal look. The vegetable-tanned leather we use in our handlebar grips is much like the material used for our saddles, although thinner and more pliable. It is beautiful to look at, maturing over time and developing a patina; the physical story of your product’s prior existence. Leather like this is also strong, a vital consideration when making objects to be used by cyclists. It will withstand many miles, many trips to work, many off-the-path diversions The natural breathability of leather provides comfort on every ride, from demanding trips to shorter adventures, ensuring your palms stay fresh.

What cyclist, indeed what human being, does not wish to feel that they are in control, that they have a solid grasp of the situation? It is a natural impulse to strive for mastery of one’s affairs, and to wish to exert a modicum of influence over one’s own path. In life, as with bicycling, control can be hard to come by. But at least in the saddle, we at Brooks England are in a position to help: our handlebar tapes are made to give you the reliable handling you need. Brooks handlebar tapes are designed for use with drop-barred bicycles. That means road cycles and gravel bikes, predominantly, although the choice is entirely yours where you go and which surfaces you ride upon.
