Gripper Bar Tape, produced by the good folks at GREPP, is an adhesive-free, durable, and washable handlebar tape. Based in Sweden, GREPP founders Jan and Thomas initially set out to produce a milled cotton cloth tape (like many other classics in the market) but very quickly found that with the use of innovative new materials, they had an opportunity to produce a much more sustainable, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly product for the market.

Grepp is a Swedish company that makes a reusable handlebar tape called Gripper. This cloth tape is woven in Sweden and is meant to be revitalized when it feels worn out, rather than pitched. The adhesive-free design increases the tape’s life-cycle: Once it feels a bit tired, you can give it a nice spa treatment. Simply remove it residual-free, give it a ride in your washer at 40°C, and reuse it as new. Available in olive, grey, and black from Grepp.cc or from Crust Bikes in the US.
