Bartape alternative

[tommyboyo]

Anyone know of a similar bar tape in padding and texture to the now (i think) discontinued Specialized S-Wrap Roubaix tape?

I have used this for years and got on very well with it, but now it is gone and I am trying to find something not too different to replace.

I have tried Lizard skins and they look cool, but i don't like the feel nearly as much.

Looking for more of a cloth/fabric feel, like the Robaix.

Never tried but Google revert me to several shop still selling the s-wrap Roubaix no?

You can get some end of line stuff, but I can't find black anywhere and it's not a long term prospect now anyway with it being discontinued.

Supercaz seems to have taken over for everything Spesh now. Keep it in the family I guess.

Pushing this up again as I'm also looking for a replacement for my beloved Specialized Roubaix handlebar tape.

Same situation here- the folks at Specialized recommended the cheap tape from Easton...

It's close but this looks even better:

The Velo Orange looks very promising, thanks fot that.
However, availability is very poor in the EU.
