{"product_id":"ere-tenaci-bar-tape","title":"Tenaci Gravel Bar Cover","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a totally new product and we are quite sure you've never seen this before anywhere else. \u003cstrong\u003eOur new Tenaci Gravel Handlebar covers are all you need to upgrade your handlebars\u003c\/strong\u003e. It'll make you experience your gravel adventure as you have never done before. They are designed to give as many pressure-relieved hand positions as possible and are exceptionally suitable for long days in the saddle.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept is as follows: for cruising and higher cadence climbing the top part of the handlebar is often used, so you want a bar tape that's thinner, grippy and has a softer touch. But when you’re down in the drops for hard climbing and pushing through at a higher power output when the going gets tough, you want a rougher and even more grippy handlebar grip. This has led to our new Tenaci Bar Cover concept. This is a classic bar tape, combined with a unique bar cover that you slide over the end of your handlebars, up to the shifters. The cover not only offers the ultimate grip on your bike but also protects your handlebars against side impacts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo offer the best grip, we took inspiration from the nature around us. Mother Nature sometimes throws the biggest challenges at our feet, but fortunately, also offers beautiful solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grooves in the\u003cstrong\u003e 'Terra'\u003c\/strong\u003e pattern on the Tenaci Bar Cover makes you think of a dried-up river bed. The grooves clear the Bar Cover free from mud and other dirt that ends up on your handlebars during bad weather conditions. Just like the channels in our inspirational riverbed, which lead the water back to the river during heavy rainfall. This ensures perfect contact with your bike at all times and never losing control, optimized grip, no matter how bad the weather conditions are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Terra pattern isn’t the only thing that keeps your hands firmly on the handlebar. We’ve also taken a good look at finger positions. That’s why we’ve added \u003cstrong\u003e‘knuckleheads’\u003c\/strong\u003e for extra grip. They will keep your hands in control of your handlebar and prevent sliding of the hands in rainy and muddy circumstances, should they present themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ere Tenaci Bar Cover\u003c\/strong\u003e comes with a classic bar tape, based on the Explorator Bar Tape. For the supplied handlebar tape we use \u003cem\u003esmooth line wrapping\u003c\/em\u003e and a \u003cem\u003eSingle Sheet. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth line wrap is\u003c\/strong\u003e used to reach a smooth finish.

This is the best durometer hardness for the pressure of the upper body applied through your arms and hands to the handlebar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEre Silicon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure a durable and firm connection to the handlebar silicon rings are included.
