 Just Firm EnoughFeb 11, 2007
By Mason Bane
These are great when you want the traditional look of wrapped bars, yet a bit more squishy. Another option is to get foam grips but they are thicker and would not normally have a wrap on them. With this, it is a thin enough foam that you can wrap it and it has a good ergo shape. It is not so soft that it squishes down to nothing. It has a bit of firmness just like you want.

Meets Every ExpectationApr 06, 2008
By Dan Spradley
I purchased Delta Aztec Vibe Wrap System based on positive customer reviews. I ride frequently and have experienced numb palms on 50-100 mile rides. On my first 60-mile outing after installing the Delta system I found that the product worked as well as advertized. The system reduces palm fatigue, shock and numbness. My hands felt as good at the end as they had at the beginning of the ride. I strongly reccomend them for distance cyclists and commuters. One reviewer suggested that the product looks cumbersome on your bicycle. when installed correctly the system has a fantastic asthetic appearance.

 Very cushy, but makes the handlebars very thick.Oct 26, 2010

This works great to absorb the shocks of riding, and I use my road bike for off-roading with my son, so that's important to me, but it does make the handlebars very thick, which doesn't bother me, but has bothered him when he rode my bike.

I bought the same Aztec VibeWrap 2 years ago. I was disappointed that this package did not include the black adhesive "Bar Wrap"! Was this an oversight or does Aztec no longer include "Bar Wrap"?
 The pads are great, the rest is junk.Jun 14, 2010
By Mr. Santos
Handlebar tape/wrapping had never been a thought for me since my previous road bike had foam grips & the bike I owned before that was a bmx. I purchased the Vibe Wrap System for my new road bike since the standard handlebar wrap on my bike really hurt my wrists and somehow made the bars feel too small to grip comfortably.
Shipping was fast & the product came in a spanking new box with all the components exactly as described. I installed the pads on my handlebars by first wrapping the bars with my own electrical tape (should I ever want to get rid of the foam, it'd make the job that much easier) and then, since I have bullhorn style handlebars, I just mounted the two larger pieces of foam & tossed the smaller pieces. I then consulted a certain popular bike repair video tutorial site and got to wrapping. I'd done my research & attempted to wrap correctly but the bumpy foam was difficult to wrap evenly, not to mention I simply didn't like the pleather tape which wasn't very sticky. I then finished the job with the electrical tape provided in the kit (just enough) near the clamp & slid in the rubber bar ends. I don't know what happened exactly, but my sleek new bike now looked as though it had elephantitis of the handlebar wrapping. As weeks progressed I got used to the look of the ugly bars only because they were SOOOOO COMFORTABLE OMG!!! Little by little, since the rubber bar ends kept popping out and the foam was trying to peel itself off the bars, the tape came undone and it just looked like total crap. The final straw was a day or two after a rainstorm, when I was still riding with what felt like a wet rag in my hands. I bought some new handlebar tape from a local bike shop, undid the old tape, wrapped the foam pads in electrical tape (to pin them down to the bars and also to make the final wrap more uniform) and then wrapped them in the new tape, ending the job with standard bar end plugs. My handlebars look beautiful now & everything feels secure and firm. I guess the one thing I'd suggest to anyone who might wrap the foam in electrical tape is to be aware of how tight you're wrapping. Too tight & you'll flatten out the pads which will lessen their shock absorption, too loose and you may as well not have used the electrical tape.
If I'd just bought the shock absorption pads, I'd have probably given them 4 or 5 stars, but since I bought the whole kit I gave it two stars. I absolutely loved the pads but hated everything else, especially the end plugs which were constantly falling out! I purchased the kit because I thought I'd be saving money by getting an all-in-one, but in the end I spent more cash than if I'd bought just the pads and different wrap separately.
