Jo Burt Reflective Signature Bar Tape

Art, visibility, grip and comfort for all-season riding 

Give your cockpit a distinctive finish with the Kinesis Jo Burt Bar Tape, combining all-weather performance with artwork by renowned cycling artist and long-time Kinesis collaborator Jo Burt. 

Designed for road cyclists who ride in all conditions, this 3.5mm bar tape combines a grippy anti-slip PU surface for dependable control, while the shockproof layer helps reduce vibration and harsh road feedback reaching your hands and wrists. Vex Gel backing adds cushioning and makes installation and removal easier, leaving no sticky residue on your handlebars. 

Hi-visibility reflective cutaways add an extra element of visibility when riding in low-light conditions, while high-quality adjustable bar plugs complete the package. The result is handlebar tape that combines practical all-season performance with a unique artistic finish, bringing a unique visual identity to your bike. 

About Jo Burt 

Jo Burt is one of our Kinesis ambassadors and has a long, long history in riding road, cx and mountain bikes. He spends the rest of his time drawing and writing about bicycles. He wrote and illustrated 'Rapha Handbook 02 - Longer Rides' a treasury of insightful nuggets of wisdom for cyclists who’ve mastered their local loop and are looking to explore further afield.
Despite Jo's road bike leanings he's most famous in the cycling world for creating Mint Sauce, a comic strip about a mountain biking sheep that's appeared in Mountain Biking UK magazine every month for over 30 years. This combination of pictures, words and thoughts that come with riding bikes a long way, is why we asked him to design this signature bar tape.
