A strong choice for road riders and custom-bike builders who prioritise cushioned comfort, reusable installation and a distinctive Storm finish over maximum tackiness in the drops.
Ciclovation Halo Touch Storm is a premium handlebar tape for riders who want their cockpit to look distinctive without giving up everyday comfort. Its prismatic Storm texture changes character with the viewing angle, while the Poly Touch and PU surface delivers a soft-touch feel that feels refined in the hands.
The 3 mm organic gel-padded construction combines multi-layer, multi-density foam to absorb road shock and dampen vibration. In use, it smooths out rough surfaces effectively and is comfortable for longer rides, although the surface is less grippy in the drops than some highly tacky alternatives. That makes it a better fit for comfort-led road riding and style-conscious builds than for riders seeking maximum locked-in grip on fast, rough descents.
Installation is made easier by the elastic, residue-free adhesive, which allows adjustment and can support re-wrapping. The supplied reusable UFO Lock-in plugs use an expanding design to resist falling out, and the elastic finishing tape is included. Allow time to wrap carefully: maintaining even tension and a consistent half-width overlap helps achieve the cleanest finish. Lever covers are not included.
