Ride in Style & Grip Like a Pro – Supacaz Super Sticky Kush

If you’ve ever wished your ride felt just that bit more connected, more dialled-in through corners, and looked downright sharp while you’re doing it — you’re in the right place. We’ve got the Supacaz Super Sticky Kush bar tape and it’s time your bars got the upgrade they deserve.

Why this bar tape?

This isn’t just any old bar tape that wraps your handle-bars. The Super Sticky Kush brings the goods:

• Tackiest/Best Hand Feel — your hands stay in contact, even when the sweat or rain show up. The top layer is advanced tacky polyurethane and is designed to remain grippy in wet conditions.
  
  
• Long-Lasting PU Tape — resists UV rays, climate and sweat. NZ cycling can get moist (hello Auckland humidity, Wellington wind) so durability matters. 
  
  
• Kush Foam (middle layer) — the shock-absorbing compound maximises “kush feel” even though the foam thickness is minimal. In other words: plush-ride feel, no bulky bars.
  
  
• Laser-etched aluminium bar plugs + high-end rubberised finishing tape — the kind of details that look premium and perform premium.
  
  
• Worthy of champions – this very tape is the bar tape of choice for world-champion level riders. 
  
  

Why Trev uses it

Grip when the NZ roads get messy: You know how it goes — early morning ride, dew on the asphalt, maybe even a light drizzle in the Waitakeres or along Tamaki Drive. You need your hands to stay glued to those drops and hoods. Super Sticky Kush keeps you locked.

• Style & personality: Supacaz isn’t afraid to stand out. Whether you’re running black, star-fade, or gold variants, you’ll look sharp at the café stop or T2 transition.
  
  
• Comfort for long rides: On those longer spins from Auckland to Hunua or around the Bays, your hands will appreciate that plush foam layer reducing vibrations from chip seal, old concrete and uneven surfaces.
  
  
• Easy install, big feel upgrade: A relatively simple upgrade for major performance & aesthetic return.

Tip for Kiwi riders

When you install, take time to wrap clean-bars (no leftover old tape adhesive), ensure good overlap and finish the ends neatly. A nice wrap enhances the comfort + durability advantage.

If you ride in salty coastal air (for example around the North Shore or East Auckland), rinse your bike and bars after heavy use — good practice for all components, bar tape included.

This tape makes a smart upgrade for both road racers and high-end commuters. If you ride electric / e-road bikes (those heavier machines) you’ll appreciate the padding & grip when stopping/starting.

Auckland & NZ-specific context

In NZ, we’re lucky to have everything from smooth north-shore cycleways to rougher rural backroads and windy coastal blast rides. The range of surfaces, weather and environments means your gear needs to perform everywhere. The Super Sticky Kush is built for climates like ours (UV, moisture, coastal salt) and gives you a tool that performs rather than just looks good.

Also — supporting a retailer like Trev’s Cycle Shop means you’re dealing with people who ride the same roads you do. 

Wrap-up (pun intended)

If you’re ready to elevate your handlebar game — better feel, better control, better style — wrap your bars in something that matches the ambition. The Supacaz Super Sticky Kush is that something. Whether you're prepping for your next gran fondo, crushing club rides, or just commuting in style, this is a small upgrade that pays dividends.

Let your hands feel the difference — and your ride look the part.
