Cinelli Heritage: New handlebar tape collection from Milan with 6 models

The Italian brand from Milan returns with a revised handlebar tape collection, four decades after the launch of the original Cork EVA handlebar tape. The new range covers road and gravel use and features a new name and coloured packaging.

Gravel Travel for off-road use

The Gravel Travel uses a higher density than standard straps and weighs 105 g at 3.2 mm thick. The gel technology enables repositioning and reattachment after installation. At 2050 mm long, the strap has a washable suede-look surface. The Chubby version uses twice the gel density with the same dimensions and weight. The Gravel Travel costs 29.00 euros, the Chubby version 35.00 euros.

Pro Race & Classic models

The Pro Race is made of polyurethane and microfibres, weighs 93 g and measures 2000 mm in length. According to the manufacturer, the 3D-structured surface is designed to improve grip and control. An artist collaboration with Mike Giant brings a separate version.

The Classic Road Cork uses EVA and cork at 2.5 mm thickness, 60 g weight and 2050 mm length. The Cork Gel version adds gel inserts with identical dimensions. The Pro Race costs 42.00 euros, the Art version 45.00 euros. The Classic Road Cork costs 17.50 euros, the gel version 21.50 euros.
