Flanders Suede Handlebar Tape

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Flanders tape adds a plush, tactile comfort that I’ve grown to love on long road rides. The suede surface feels great even without gloves, and the Smart Gel backing makes installation a breeze without sticky mess."

When we’re grinding out base miles or pushing through spring classics weather, comfort matters. That’s why we wrap our drops with the Cane Creek Flanders Suede Handlebar Tape. Inspired by one of cycling’s most iconic races, the Flanders offers a timeless aesthetic paired with practical comfort. The suede surface feels soft under hand while dampening vibrations from chattery pavement or rough cobbles.

Underneath, the reusable Smart Gel backing holds firm but lifts cleanly, allowing for re-wraps or mid-install tweaks without residue. The 3mm thickness gives a bit of plush without feeling bulky, and the included high-stretch finishing tape keeps it all locked in place. We reach for the Flanders when style, grip, and all-day comfort are what we’re chasing.
