    • No way! That is for Road bikes only!

    • Stay away. Traditional Grips are the only way to go!

Why on earth would anyone want to put bar tape on a mountain bike??

Why not?

Mtb's do have bars.It's actually very comfortable.2 layers does the trick with thin tape.

Just needs replacing more often.

Don't knock it till you have tried it.It might change your life

I cant stand most of the grips.Different shapes etc.And generally too thick

Got a pair of Oury on at the moment which are as simple and plain as you can get.Just dont like the stickyness
