Handlebar Tape

From WikiPedalia

Cloth, plastic, leather or cork tape that is wrapped around handlebars to provide better grip and some cushioning. Most commonly used on drop handlebars.

Sometimes incorrectly referred to as "handlebar ribbon." This mistake results from a translation error. (in French and Italian, there is no distinction between "ribbon" and "tape.")
