Ideal for the road rider who wants a comfortable 3.0 mm wrap with a premium feel, confident grip and a more polished finish than basic cork-style tape.
The CICLOVATION Leather Touch - Magma is a performance road bar tape built for riders who want a more refined hand feel without losing control. Its synthetic leather-style surface, 30 mm width and 3.0 mm thickness put it in the sweet spot for riders chasing extra comfort over stock tape, while still keeping the bars connected and easy to feel through corners, sprints and long steady efforts.
On the bike, the big draw here is the blend of shock absorption and bar feel. The Organic-Gel padded construction and multi-layer, multi-density foam laminates are designed to smooth road buzz and reduce hand fatigue, which suits everything from hard training rides to rough chipseal and all-day weekend loops. The magma-inspired textured surface is there for grip and control, and the included locking bar plugs give the finished job a neater, more secure end result than basic push-in plugs.
It’s also a tape we’d point to if you care about fit-out quality as much as ride feel. You get 2000 mm per side, finish tape in the box, and an adhesive designed to make setup and adjustment easier without leaving residue on the bars. If you regularly re-cable, tweak lever position or simply like a clean workshop job, that’s a practical advantage. The one thing to know is that patterned graphics can show wear over time, so if you want a tape that always looks fresh, darker or less graphic-heavy options can be easier to live with.

Great for
Maybe not for
This tape is 2000 mm x 30 mm x 3.0 mm and is intended for drop-bar road cockpits. It suits riders wanting moderate cushioning without the larger hand position that comes with very thick tape. Wrap the right side clockwise and the left side counter-clockwise from the rider’s perspective, with about half-width overlap. If you run especially wide drop bars or want heavy overlap for extra padding, check coverage before trimming. Included locking bar plugs suit open bar ends that accept expanding plugs.
vs Supacaz Super Sticky Kush
A popular premium alternative with 2200 mm length and a 2.5 mm thickness. It’s a good option if you want a tackier, slightly thinner feel and lots of colour choice, while the CICLOVATION tape leans more toward a leather-style hand feel and a touch more cushioning.
vs fizik Tempo Bondcush Soft 3mm
Another 3 mm road tape aimed at comfort with a soft-touch surface and a listed 52 g weight. The fizik is a strong pick if you want a simpler, understated finish, while the CICLOVATION stands out for its graphic texture, locking plugs and more distinctive visual style.
vs SILCA Nastro Cuscino 3.75
A thicker comfort-first option at 3.75 mm for riders chasing maximum vibration damping. Compared with that, the CICLOVATION tape keeps the bar shape slimmer and more direct in the hands, which will suit more traditional road fit preferences.
Good match for endurance road setups
A 3.0 mm tape like this is often the sweet spot for riders who want noticeably more comfort than thin stock tape without making the drops feel oversized.
Think about bar width before wrapping
With 2000 mm per side, this should cover most standard road drop bars well, but if you run especially wide bars or like lots of overlap for extra padding, be a bit conservative early in the wrap.
Useful if you regularly tweak your cockpit
The adhesive is designed for easier installation and adjustment without residue, which is handy if you change lever position, replace cables or re-do your setup more often than most riders.
A premium finish, but graphics are a wear item
The magma pattern is part of the appeal, but surface graphics can fade or wear over time. That won’t change grip or function, though riders chasing a permanently pristine look should keep that in mind.
