More durable foams are much harder more cushioning means less grip and so on.

From the back of the box.
Using a laminate of silcathane silcalon and 3m visco elastic adhesive instead of a single foam extrusion the tape can be optimized across a range of desired features.
In traditional bar tape materials the tape is extruded as is or molded to develop a thin skin of non expanded foam at the surface.
The asymmetric piloti texture inspired by f1 tire technology allows the tape to be wrapped in either a moderate texture or high texture format depending on preference.
