CHIGASAKI STYLE**Lizard Skin comfort.
by: Naoki Sakai

Having tried a few bar tapes, my personal favorite is Lizard Skins Bar Tape.  It comes in two thickness’ 1.8 mm and 2.5 mm.  I prefer the thinner version, as I feel I can get a better grip with less thickness.  Some may prefer the cushion-y feel of the 2.5 thickness, as it is extremely comfortable.

 

 

 

 

 

The grip and feel of the Lizard Skins is the best for me, plain and simple.  It has a great touch…grips well without slippage, but not overly tacky.  It just has the right amount of everything.  That’s really subjective, but bar tapes are very much about personal tastes and likes.  I love the fit and its aesthetics are nice, as well, with colors that are rich, yet with great tones, and patterns that are creative and fun. 

 

 

 

 

 

Lizard Skins prices range from 3900 yen +TAX to 4300 yen +TAX. Come see the Lizard Skin bar tapes at Y’s Road Chigasaki here at Southern Beach.  See you soon. 🙂
