Ideal for the road rider or all-road cyclist who wants a grippy, mid-thickness tape with better vibration damping than thin race tape.
The CICLOVATION Seitex - 2D Carbon is a performance road bar tape for riders who want a balanced mix of grip, comfort and clean finish. With its 3 mm thickness, 30 mm width and 2000 mm length, it suits a wide range of drop-bar road and all-road setups while keeping the cockpit feeling controlled rather than over-padded.
What stands out on this tape is the SEITEX anti-slip synthetic leather surface. It’s designed to give you a more tactile, planted hold when you’re riding on the hoods, tops or drops, and the multi-layer, multi-density foam underneath helps mute road buzz before it builds into hand fatigue. For riders dealing with coarse Australian road surfaces, that extra damping is a genuine upgrade over thinner, firmer tape.
It’s also a sensible choice if you do your own bar wrapping. The organic adhesive is made to stay light and elastic without leaving residue behind, which makes adjustment easier during installation and less messy when it’s time for a refresh. You also get VORTEX lock-in bar plugs and finishing tape included, so the end result looks secure and properly finished from day one.
SEITEX textured surface
Anti-slip synthetic leather feel gives you a more secure hand position when you’re moving between tops, hoods and drops.
3 mm comfort level
Mid-thickness padding adds useful cushioning without making the bars feel overly soft or vague.
Organic Gel padded construction
Helps smooth out repeated road buzz and sharp chatter so your hands stay fresher on longer rides.
Multi-layer, multi-density foam
Builds in progressive damping to reduce fatigue while still keeping good feedback from the front end.
Low-residue adhesive
Makes wrapping, re-positioning and future tape changes much less frustrating.
VORTEX lock-in bar plugs included
Expanding plugs give a more secure bar-end fit and a neater finished cockpit.
Road-ready dimensions
The 2000 mm length and 30 mm width work well for most modern drop bars and typical wrap styles.

Great for
Maybe not for
Designed for standard drop handlebars. Each strip is 2000 mm x 30 mm with 3 mm thickness, so it suits most road and all-road bar wraps. Includes VORTEX lock-in expanding bar plugs and finishing tape. As with other mid-thickness tapes, tight bends around compact drops and lever bodies may need a careful, even wrap for the neatest result.
vs Supacaz Super Sticky Kush
A popular premium alternative if your priority is maximum tack and lots of colour options.
vs Lizard Skins DSP V2
A strong rival for riders who want a very grippy all-round road tape with multiple thickness options.
vs Fizik Tempo Bondcush Classic 3mm
A good option for riders who prefer a smoother, more traditional road-tape look.
A good middle ground for road bikes
This tape sits in the sweet spot for riders who find thin race tape too harsh but don’t want the oversized feel of heavy gravel tape.
Best match for rougher bitumen
If most of your riding is on coarse chipseal, older suburban roads or long training loops, the 3 mm padded build makes more sense than a super-thin wrap.
Worth taking care with the wrap
Mid-thickness tapes usually reward a tidy, even tension during installation, especially around the lever clamp area and tighter bends in compact drops.
Useful for bare hands or light gloves
The textured surface is a smart pick if you like a more tactile bar feel rather than a smooth, slick finish.
