Cinelli Classic Road Cork Ribbon | The 1987 Original

There is no substitute for the original. The Cinelli Classic Road Cork Ribbon is more than just handlebar tape; it is a piece of cycling history. Introduced in 1987, it was the world's first EVA and cork composite tape, redefining the concept of comfort and control forever. The formula remains unchanged today—because some things are already perfect.

The blend of EVA (for superior shock absorption) and cork (for a warm, natural feel and moisture management) creates the perfect balance. With a 2.5mm thickness, this tape provides excellent comfort on long rides while maintaining precise, direct feedback from the road. Whether you are restoring a vintage build or looking for a timeless touch for your modern road or gravel bike, the Cinelli Cork Ribbon is the choice of those who know what it means to ride well.
