NASTRO AERO is a 1 mm thick die-cut SILCAthane tape for aero bars and extensions that provides improved comfort and ultimate grip in wet and dry conditions.
Who's it for?
NASTRO AERO is for the track, road, triathlete and TT cyclist seeking maximum aerodynamics with improved grip and control. Specifically calibrated, die-cut pieces allow for custom positioning that is unique to each cyclist.
Inspired by advancements in running shoe foam and F1 tires as well as our own research into rolling efficiency, impedance and damping, we realized that new materials technology could allow for a significant improvement in bar tape. Using a laminate of SILCAthane, the tape can be optimized across a range of desired features. The resulting tape has a softer, more comfortable feel, higher wet and dry grip, better vibration isolation, and 3-5x the durability of existing tape materials.
Specifications:
1mm thick grippers with high-performance 3M adhesive backing
Improves grip and comfort
Specifically designed for complex handlebars and aero extensions
Optimized for ultimate wet/dry grip while adding minimal frontal area
I used the Aero Bar Tape on my daughter's TT bike, and we are really happy with how well it grips, even when compared to regular bar tape. It adds a degree of confidence when riding a type of bike requires your full attention.
