Colnago Cork Bar Tape — Special Edition Rosa Giro d'Italia

There's one color in Italian cycling that needs no explanation, and the Colnago Cork bar tape wears it in its most celebratory form: the Rosa Giro d'Italia, for riders who want a piece of the pink jersey's history on every ride.

Beyond the looks, cork does its job where it actually matters: it holds a secure grip even when wet, right when many synthetic tapes start slipping at the worst possible moment — mid-descent, in the rain. The tape's softness cuts hand fatigue on longer rides, while UV resistance keeps it looking good through regular use in the sun.

Key features:

• Lightweight and UV-resistant, for long-lasting durability
• Superior wet-weather grip, where other tapes turn slippery
• Softness and comfort, reducing hand fatigue on long rides
• Complete kit: bar end plugs and finishing tape included for a clean, professional install

You'll find it in our Bar Tapes collection, alongside other available Colnago colorways. For the story behind this special livery, the official Giro d'Italia page fills in the rest.
