Road riders who want a classic, cushioned tape in a strong purple, or who are matching a purple frame or parts.
The Deda Tape, also known as the Logo Tape, is Deda Elementi's classic EVA foam handlebar tape. In purple, which Deda lists as Bishop Violet, it gives a soft, cushioned wrap with the Deda logo embossed along its length.
It is 2.8 mm thick and 180 cm long, with a self-adhesive backing that holds each turn as you wrap. Black end plugs and finishing strips are included, and Deda lists the weight at 42 g with the plugs.

One length: 180 cm at 2.8 mm thick, sized for road drop bars. Keep your overlap even so you use the length well.
Wrapping tip
Start at the bar end and work toward the stem with steady tension, letting each turn overlap the last by a third to a half. Trim at an angle near the stem, finish with the strips supplied, then press the plugs in.
