When Zipp sends their neutral support cars out on the road, they wrap the bars of the bikes on the roof with Zipp Service Course Bar Tape.

This is no copycat foam item. The polyurethane tape is 2.5mm thick with a smooth, grippy texture on the outside and the words “service course” embossed at regular intervals. There’s sticky stuff on the inside to hold the tape in place, and, of course, it stretches.

The tape comes as a set. Two 1.9-meter rolls with two “Z” end plugs and two strips of finishing tape.

Zipp Service Course Bar Tape is a great way to finish your Zipp-equipped bike.
