More Grip. More Cushioning. More Gravel.

The Ciclovation Advanced SEITEX Ballistic GXL Bar Tape takes the grip and control of Ciclovation's BALLISTIC series and optimises it specifically for modern gravel riding.

With an extended 2300 mm length and increased 3.6 mm thickness, GXL provides additional coverage and cushioning for wider and flared gravel handlebars. Multi-layer construction helps absorb vibration and reduce hand fatigue across rough terrain, while the premium SEITEX® surface delivers a refined leather-like feel with dependable all-condition grip.

Available in Nets, Seeds and Magic Cube graphics, each design uses BALLISTIC UV printing to create a subtle black-on-black appearance. From fast gravel racing to long-distance adventures, GXL is designed to provide lasting comfort, control and confidence when the terrain gets rough.

Gravel-Optimised GXL Construction
Modern gravel handlebars are wider, more flared and place greater demands on bar tape.

At 2300 mm long, GXL provides additional material for wrapping modern gravel cockpits, while its 3.6 mm multi-layer cushioning improves vibration absorption across corrugations, broken roads and rough surfaces.

Combined with Ciclovation's premium SEITEX® surface, the result balances cushioning with the secure, controlled feel required for technical gravel riding.

Nets, Seeds or Magic Cube

Choose from three distinctive BALLISTIC graphic designs:

Each uses durable UV-printed graphics to create a subtle black-on-black finish while retaining the same SEITEX® grip and GXL construction underneath.
