Bullwhip Braided Leather Bar Wraps

Our natural leather "bullwhip" style braid makes a tactile, cushioning wrap that looks amazing and stays fast in place.   Durable in the elements, warm to the touch, and grippier when wet, our natural leather is a performance material with a lush look and outstanding handfeel.  Overlapping layers of high quality American leather provide more cushioning, and hand-finished edging assures it lays well. The signature, small diamond pattern visually complements the diameter of the bar.  Like our other bar wraps, the Bullwhip Bar Wraps come as a kit that you braid and stitch on yourself with pre-punched stitching holes, needle, thread, and instructions.  The natural oils in your hands burnish  our high-quality American leather into a glossy patina that will last you a lifetime. You get to keep the patina you've earned: you can transfer it from bike to bike, and over the years it will only get more beautiful with use and time. Fits ergo bars, flat-top bars, drop bars, pursuit bars, bullhorns, and more.  Tips and tricks on our blog: How to Finish Bar Wraps with Natural Twine, Hemp, or Thread How to DIY Leather Bicycle Wraps on Anything Need help deciding which pair of bar wraps to get?

The actual length of the wraps is longer than that to accommodate for the braiding. The sew-on section is midway down the wraps and is designed to fit around a section of 1" (25.4mm) diameter bar, where it's stitched under the brake hoods. Leather weighs approximately 4.5oz (128g).
