Planet Bike Adds All Day Riding Comfort with New Handlebar and Glove Accessories

Posted on Mar 12th 2026 |

We have added two new bicycle accessories that will freshen up your ride and provide cyclists with all day comfort just in time for spring. First, we’ve expanded our Gravel Cross 2.5 handlebar tape lineup with fresh new colors, giving the tacky cross‑hatch pattern even more style to elevate every ride. Secondly, we’ve introduced the Topo Trail half finger cycling gloves, designed to absorb shock and reduce hand fatigue on late spring, summer and mild fall rides.

Gravel Cross 2.5 Handlebar Tape

Planet Bike’s Gravel Cross 2.5 handlebar tape is designed for cyclists who demand a tacky handlebar tape for extra grip. Whether riding cyclocross or on an epic gravel challenge, the cross-hatch pattern ensures a great grip and helps prevent hands from getting tired.

The rubber outer coating with woven texture features a 3M backed adhesive making it effortless to stretch and install on any handlebar setup. Each package includes 2 full length strips, 2 short brake lever strips, 2 finishing strips and 2 expandable bolt-mounted bar end plugs with an included 3mm hex wrench.

The Gravel Cross 2.5 handlebar tape is available in Black, Blue, Brown and Grey and retails for $34.99. 

 

 

Topo Trail Half Finger Cycling Gloves

The Topo Trail cycling gloves are designed to absorb shock and reduce hand fatigue so cyclists can ride longer and stay comfortable. Strategically placed gel inserts cushion palms for a confident grip and lasting performance. Airflow-enhancing 4-way stretch mesh back keeps cyclists’ hands cool, provides 50 UPF sun protection, and looks sharp with a topographic design. A secure, elasticated non-cuff fit makes gloving up easy, while fast off finger tabs make removal a snap. The open-finger design enhances dexterity and bar feel for precise shifting and braking.

Minimal, breathable, and built for all-day rides, the Topo Trail half finger gloves fit so well cyclists will forget they are wearing them. 

The Topo Trail half finger gloves are available in four sizes, small through extra-large and retail for $24.99.
