Muc-Off has released its new Bike Protection Series, which is designed to provide protection for key areas of the frame, including rear stays, cranks and forks – with kits available in combined and individual sets, in mountain and e-mountain bike size options.
“Being riders ourselves, we’ve seen first-hand the punishment bikes take out on the trails, so we knew we had to develop a super-strong, super-flexible material that performed better than anything else out there,” said Alex Trimnell, CEO at Muc-Off.
“In true Muc-Off style, our Bike Protection Series is the perfect blend of form and function, so riders can be confident their pride and joys are protected. We also know what a pain frame protection application can be and that it can put some people off, so having a super-easy application method was key from the outset of development.”
A release from the company added… ‘The kits offer a combination of strength and durability to protect frames from potential scratches, scuffs, and stone chips, and thanks to their modular design, they’re easy to apply and remove and they fit even the most obscure bike geometries.’
Each kit format is offered in six different designs, including, ‘Bolt’, ‘Camo’, ‘Day of the Shred’, and ‘Punk’ which matches offers from Muc-Off’s Technical apparel and Ride Guard ranges, as well as Clear Gloss and Clear Matt options.
All the graphical Frame Protection Kits feature Muc-Off’s new Cube-Tec material. According to the company, this is comprised of multiple tessellating 45-degree-angled cubes, which due to their shape and pattern, provide more strength and more flexibility than the standard flat layered materials currently available.
‘The Cube-Tec material sits on top of the graphical and 3M adhesive weatherproof layers below, which make Muc-Off’s kits both easy to install, as well as strong enough to shield the frame from impact.’
The Clear Gloss and Clear Matt variants use TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) film technology, which allows for a smooth and stealthy finish, whilst being equally as strong and durable as the graphical counterparts. The clear frame protection kits are stain-resistant, non-yellowing, and self-healing… ‘meaning riders can simply apply warm water to any light scratches and scuffs, and watch them disappear as the material repairs itself.
‘Installation is also a simple DIY task, and thanks to the new Muc-Off squeegee (sold separately), riders can achieve a professional finish, from the comfort of their own workshop.’
Muc-Off has elected to produce kits which include up to forty-five pieces, to provide greater levels of bike coverage and more flexibility for the wide variety of frame geometries in the market.
The Bike Protection Series is available in six finishes for both MTB and EMTB size options, and is broken down as follows:
