Reviews over the

Lizard Skins DSP V2 3.2

Feels great on the handlebars and is easy enough to apply even for a first-timer

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with the quality of this product! Everything is included: short strips of handlebar tape for behind the shifters, handlebar caps, nice tape for the end let same motif as the handlebar tape. Quality and very nice finish. Assembly also went super smoothly. The grip of the tape is definitely sufficient, as well as the damping due to the extra thick handlebar tape. Very pleasant for longer rides on gravel. Highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

Fine handlebar tape. You keep good grip even in wet conditions. It also dampens well when riding over rougher terrain. As with almost all handlebar tapes, the length is just long enough for my gravel handlebars, which makes mounting a bit more difficult.

Pros & Cons

Nice handlebar tape. Colour orange stands out well. Perfect grip. Sturdy stoppers with Allen screw.

Pros & Cons

Was looking for extra comfort in my handlebar tape, because often the hands hurt during a long ride, this handlebar tape definitely helps with that! Lots of comfort, lots of grip and it feels durable, very satisfied with the purchase.

Pros & Cons

Fine tape, is nice and soft and thick on your handlebars! Lasts very long!

Pros & Cons

Impeccable, good quality and easy to install

Matches my expectations, I recommend this purchase to anyone.

Pros & Cons

Not the cheapest handlebar tape, but well worth the money. Completely fulfills the description: comfortable and lots of grip. Highly recommended, also for those who " just" ride on the road.

Pros & Cons

The ribbon not only looks beautiful but also applies smoothly and is doable even for the least handy Harry

Pros & Cons

more than perfect nothing to say, just need some experience for placement

Pros & Cons

Adhesive strip is way too narrow and barely sticks (Steer also completely cleaned with alcohol). Since this thickness is already quite difficult to wrap, you expect that it should at least reasonably stick. Grip is excellent though, and cushioning is of course nice too, but rewinding didn't really want to, and after a month I changed it anyway because this was really coming loose. For the price you would expect something better.

Pros & Cons

Fine bar tape with great grip, good cushioning and a long lifespan. Does not stick and is easy to clean. Especially nice with your glossy finished bike frame!

Pros & Cons

Nice material but actually way too thick. Wanted a bit more comfort. But this is definitely too thick. Next time again 2.5mm

Pros & Cons

Nice handlebar ribbon, adhesive strip, barely sticks but that is not really necessary for application, you do have to take your time and wrap tightly, is a bit stiffer than other ribbons but then also does not tear when wrapping. Looks good and has a luxurious appearance, I have the black one myself. White bar tape is not an option anyway

Pros & Cons

My first self-taped handlebar, nice ribbon, nice to look at. Not very stretchy so you have to pay close attention.

Pros & Cons

Easy to install, very good quality

Pros & Cons

After using Fizik handlebar tapes several times, I wanted to try something new and a handlebar tape with a bit more grip. Once fitted (and that's not easy because of the thickness and the poor adhesive strip) the whole thing looks neat. The ribbon also dampens very well and your hands (even without gloves) have plenty of grip. What really disappoints me, however, is that the red ribbon gets grubby dirty after just a few rides. And this despite the fact that (especially in wet weather or when riding with sweaty hands) I clean it with a damp cloth. Cleaning a bit more vigorously doesn't help either, unfortunately.

Pros & Cons

This wasn't the first product I ordered, after the ergo grips for mountain bikes, which I'm happy with, I opted for the handlebars for road bikes, which were easy to fit and which proved to be very comfortable after a few rides. I no longer have any numbness in my fingers. Site to be recommended for the quality of its products and for the speed of dispatch.

I had the blue luzard skins, but after a few months it got dirty/discoloured very quickly. All in all, I have now bought the black one because it fits very well when cycling without gloves for a while. Handlebar tape gives you confidence because of the strong grip, but enough cushioning on your wrists/hands. This is highly recommended!

Pros & Cons

I rode this handlebar tape for 1 season (7000km) and I liked it in terms of damping and durability. One drawback is that it gets dirty quickly and is a bit harder to clean.

Pros & Cons

Excellent. Good value for money

Pros & Cons

I wanted a slightly thicker ribbon for the upcoming endurance rides. After 4 rides including two of 145 and 180 km respectively, I can safely say that this is much more comfortable than thinner ribbon. You lose some directness in terms of feel, but that is mi less important for this discipline

Pros & Cons

For me personally, the best tape available. Dampens vibrations well and lasts a long time. Now also with handlebar caps from lizard skins which finishes it off.

Pros & Cons

Due to little stretch, it is a bit more difficult to wrap the handlebar tape nicely for less experienced handymen like me :-)

Pros & Cons

Meets expectations exactly, indeed only a crime to twist and finish it neatly. This is explained nicely on youtube, so it's easy to do.

Pros & Cons

The flaws (poor adhesive strip, unclear instructions) are surmountable and once fitted, this is just really good handlebar tape. Easy to fit, good cushioning (nice for long rides) and the colour (I got pink) is bright and pretty.

Pros & Cons

Wrapped the bars with the new tape and took to the gravel. Impressive! A game changer! Love the Lizard skins.

Pros & Cons

ribbon is not easy to place, is softer though.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

This Supacaz tape is on a higher level, very happy with the quality, worth the money, very comfy, might be a little bit difficult to install, that’s what I thought but ended up installing it my self (second time I install a bar tape) and happy with the result. My first but not last purchase at Mantel, love the website, very organised, easy to browse and delivery arrived as promised, love the details on the delivery box. You are doing a great job Mantel guys :)

Pros & Cons

Great bar tape

Pros & Cons

Not even 400 km and the ribbon has loosed from the undercoat. Okay, white was a really bad choice. But a ribbon like that, I expect it to last a few years, not a few weeks.

Pros & Cons

A pricey ribbon but worth every euro. Good grip and cushioning.

Very comfortable handlebar, good grip, thick enough to absorb quite a lot of shock without being uncomfortable to hold.

Pros & Cons

Fine soft handlebar tape with good cushioning and plenty of grip. It comes in nice packaging complete with nice sealing caps (with socket screw) and adhesive strip to secure the end. It was unclear to me from the manual what to do with the 2 loose pieces of strips (the 'clamp covers').

Pros & Cons

Anyway, I now know which ribbon will go on my handlebars for the upcoming Paris-Roubaix ride and for the gravel rides

Pros & Cons

It was my first time changing handlebars. It went off without a hitch, given the quality of the product.

Pros & Cons

Nice handlebar tape with great grip and comfort

Pros & Cons

Very comfortable Handlebar tape, easy to apply. Highly recommended

Pros & Cons

Now this is a really nice thick handlebar tape. Really ideal for your gravel bike. Super damping!

Pros & Cons

Stunning bar tape, I have used them for years now, from 2.5 to now this 3.2mm that helps for longer distances
