Newbaum's makes its cotton bar tape in the USA for a classic cockpit feel: thin fabric, direct bar feel and colors that put the finishing touch on your build. The felted cotton fabric absorbs moisture and maintains a secure grip even when your hands get wet. Its thin construction lets you feel the shape of your bars more directly than thickly padded tape. For longer rides, Newbaum's also offers a padded version with a neoprene backing for extra cushioning.

Newbaum's handlebar tape is also used on aerial hoops and trapezes, where secure grip under friction and load matters. On the bike, you get a classic bar feel, a durable surface and a look that pairs particularly well with steel frames, touring bikes, gravel bikes and vintage builds. Choose the option that matches the feel you want:

  • Cotton bar tape: Thin, direct and classic when you want to feel the shape of your bars
  • Padded cotton bar tape: Neoprene-backed for the classic Newbaum's look with extra
  • cushioning
  • Hemp twine: An optional finishing touch for securing your bar tape without electrical tape

Give your cockpit a fresh wrap before your next ride and find the right Newbaum's bar tape at BIKE24.
