The Arundel Gecko Fur takes the EVA foam base from the standard Gecko Grip and covers it with a velvety, brushed cotton surface. The result is a handlebar tape with a soft, tactile feel that maintains grip in both wet and dry conditions. The furry texture creates traction without the rubbery surface of polymer tapes, offering a warmer feeling against your hands. The matte black finish includes embossed Arundel logos that add a subtle touch of sheen without compromising the low-profile appearance.

The tape lays flat as you wrap and stays thin on the bars, avoiding the bulk that can develop with thicker materials. The moleskin-feel top layer handles sweat and rainfall without becoming saturated like cork tape does. Light moisture wipes off with a damp cloth, though heavily ingrained dirt from muddy conditions requires more attention than smooth synthetic tapes. An adhesive backing holds the wrap in place during installation and helps prevent shifting once you've finished wrapping. The velvety surface provides consistent grip whether you're riding with or without gloves.

Each roll measures 220cm in length, giving you enough tape to dress standard drop handlebars with room for proper overlap at key contact points. The tape works well for road riding where you want a tactile surface that doesn't feel slippery when your hands get sweaty, though cyclocross and gravel riders dealing with heavy mud might prefer the easier-to-clean surface of the standard Gecko Grip. The tape is available only in black, which keeps the aesthetic understated and matches most frame colors and component groups. The embossed logos break up the matte finish just enough to add visual interest without looking busy.
