Product Information

shields have a smaller corner raduis to fit together with other protectors including our Frame Shields.

With an impressive array of models covered you are almost certain to enable to protect the majority of your pride and joy. Considering what a carbon fiber frame costs, getting this stuff was a no-brainer for me - I put it on (cut to fit) before I ever rode my bike, and it's been great for over 3 and a half years of rough riding now. Our Downtube Shields are perfectly sized for Road or MTB down tubes offering protection from rocks and sticks. We are a credit broker not a lender – credit is subject to status and affordability and is provided by Mitsubishi HC Capital UK PLC.

Designed especially for 2016-2018 Mega Alloy 275 and 290 models, this genuine Nukeproof protector is a brilliant barrier against mud, muck and riding mishaps thanks to their durable moulded silicone construction. The next level down is the generic kits that protect the high-wear areas such as the top tube and down tube (protecting against rock strikes) and the seat and chainstays from chain slap.

This unique, composite construction allows Shelter to spread impact energy within its structure, without transmitting it or reducing it very efficiently. MTB frame protection is the key to ensuring your bike stays looking newer for longer - so if you're looking to protect your investment for when the time comes to sell or you merely want to keep your dream machine looking great for years to come you should consider frame protection.As passionate about writing as much as his riding, by recapturing his adventures through his stories and sharing his own experiences of products by writing technical reviews, he's also a regular contributor for Singletrack and Grit CX.

The universal kits are available in four different grades of protection: from the entry-level ‘Basic’ kits through to more comprehensive ‘Total’ package options that wrap around more of the frame. If I wanted to use this bike on the road, I could slam the stem and the position would become much more aggressive, and faster by way of improved rider aerodynamics. However, I quickly found that AXS shifting is so smooth in its electronic nature that I was able to change chainrings without any worry for the terrain beneath me (within reason). Michelle is a road racer who also enjoys track riding and the occasional time trial, though dabbles in off-road riding too (either on a mountain bike, or a 'gravel bike').Impressively, the kits come in over 40,000 individual options so the chances are they will have a kit to fit your frame model and size. The Dyedbro kits come in many different designs and one size with customizable segments to fit any mountain bike. We're pretty sure old Ben wasn't a mountain biker, but in the case of mountain bike frame protection, it's completely true.
