Nabico manufactures its handlebar tapes entirely in Italy and equips them with 3M double-sided adhesive tape. The manufacturer from Sant'Angelo di Piove di Sacco near Padua offers six different models that differ in terms of material, thickness and area of application. You can find our last handlebar tape test here.
Roubaix Flow and Roubaix
The Roubaix Flow models and Roubaix The double version has a thickness of 4.5 mm. Both straps are suitable for road and gravel and are available in different colours and finishes. The thickness is intended to provide cushioning and grip.
Bio Galibier with bio-based materials
The Organic Galibier consists of over 35 per cent bio-based materials. The road handlebar tape has an antibacterial treatment. The manufacturer is targeting this model at riders who value sustainability.
Silico Grip 3D and Carbon Look
The Silico Grip 3D has a thickness of 3 mm and utilises a 3D silicone surface. This construction is designed to absorb vibrations and improve grip. The manufacturer recommends this tape for gravel and uneven tracks. The Carbon Look uses a carbon effect finish and stands out due to its low thickness.
Siena and Gavia
The Siena has a leather look and is designed to combine comfort with performance. The Gavia is also available in a Cork version available and gives the bike a vintage look. All Nabico tapes are supplied with 3M double-sided adhesive tape for secure attachment.
