Frequently Asked Questions
What is SuperCork made from?
SuperCork is constructed from a top layer of natural cork bonded to a closed-cell EVA foam core. This combination provides a balance of tactile grip, shock absorption, and resilient support for long-term comfort.
Will this tape fit my drop handlebars?
Yes. SuperCork is intended for standard drop handlebars (commonly 31.8mm or slightly smaller). It wraps cleanly around brake hoods and shifters; use the included bar plugs and finishing tape for a secure finish.
How do I clean and maintain SuperCork tape?
Wipe the tape with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove road grime and sweat. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade the cork surface. For deeper cleaning, remove the tape and clean the bars before re-wrapping.
How durable is the cork + EVA construction?
The closed-cell EVA core resists compression and holds its cushion over many miles, while the cork surface maintains grip and aesthetic appeal. Lifespan depends on use and exposure, but most riders can expect comfortable performance for a season or longer with regular care.
Can I use SuperCork with clip-on aerobars?
Yes—SuperCork is compatible. Wrap your base bars as usual; for the aerobars themselves, many riders leave the extension contact area to the aerobar's own padding or add a thin wrap layer to prevent slippage.
Does SuperCork come with finishing tape and plugs?
Variants typically include the bar tape set and standard finishing accessories. Check the product packaging or variant listing to confirm included bar plugs and adhesive finishing tape.
Buying Guide
When choosing handlebar tape, prioritize material, thickness, and grip. Cork + EVA like SRAM SuperCork offers a classic tactile feel with modern foam cushioning—ideal for long road rides where comfort and bar feedback matter. Consider your riding style: racers may prefer thinner, firmer tape for direct feedback while endurance riders often pick thicker, more cushioned options. Also check compatibility with your bar diameter and whether the variant includes bar plugs and finishing tape. Match color and texture to your bike's aesthetic, and plan for a clean re-wrap every 6–18 months depending on mileage and exposure to the elements.
