Silca Nasto Piloti
1.85mm Ultra-Direct Grip. Silca Cushioning Science.
The engineering hallmark of the Silca Nastro Piloti Bar Tape is its tri-Laminate construction utilizing SILCA’s proprietary SILCAthane elastomer and SILCAfoam matrix. Unlike standard EVA foam tapes that quickly compress, lose damping ability, and degrade in wet conditions, Nastro Piloti pairs a high-friction outer polyurethane skin with an internal damping layer that absorbs high-frequency road buzz while keeping total thickness down to a sleek 1.85mm. Finished with a laser-engraved texture pattern, it maintains relentless grip whether you're riding barehanded in scorching heat or battling rain-soaked sprint finishes.
Why Nastro Piloti Belongs on Your Cockpit:
-
Tuned 1.85mm Pro-Level Thickness: Offers crisp, direct connection to your handlebars for telepathic road feedback, maximum sprinting leverage, and clean aerodynamic wrapping.
-
Proprietary SILCAthane Polyurethane Outer: Formulated for maximum tacky grip in wet or dry conditions, offering superior wear resistance and oil/sweat repelling properties.
-
SILCAfoam Structural Cushioning Layer: High-density foam core provides equivalent impact absorption to much thicker standard tapes without creating a spongy bar feel.
-
Thermal Bonding Technology: Seamless multi-layer laminate construction prevents surface peeling, tearing, and material separation over high-mileage training blocks.
-
Custom Laser-Engraved Tread Texture: Deep tread pattern increases surface friction under high torque while channeling surface moisture away from palm contact points.
-
Expanding Aluminum Bar End Plugs: Premium anodized aluminum expander plugs lock firmly inside bar ends with a 3mm hex key, ensuring your wrap never unravels or drops a cap.

The Alegro Perspective: Silca Nastro tape is hands-down the highest quality bar tape we install. While many thick, cushion-heavy tapes make your handlebars feel like pool noodles, Nastro Piloti is built for riders who prefer a classic, slim race profile and absolute precision. The SILCAthane material feels incredibly tacky right out of the box, wraps super cleanly without over-stretching or ripping, and the inclusion of real aluminum expander caps instead of cheap plastic push-in plugs gives any bike build a true showroom-quality finish.
