Muc-Off, the global leader in bicycle and motorcycle care and performance, continue to push innovation and performance boundaries with the release of their new Bike Protection Series.
The series is designed to provide protection for critical 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. 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. 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 innovative new Cube-Tec material, which was developed from the ground up by the brand’s product design team at their in-house research and development facility in Poole, UK. The material comprises multiple tessellating 45-degree-angled cubes, which, due to their shape and pattern, provide more strength and 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, making Muc-Off’s kits both easy to install and strong enough to shield the frame from impact.
The Clear Gloss and Clear Matt variants use TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) film technology, allowing a smooth and stealthy finish while being equally as strong and durable as the graphical counterparts. In Muc-Off’s typical ‘bike care made easy’ mantra, 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.
“Being riders, 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. 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.” – Alex Trimnell, CEO at Muc-Off.
Muc-Off has elected to produce kits that include up to forty-five pieces, to provide greater levels of bike coverage and more flexibility for the wide variety of frame geometries out there. All the graphical kits feature a durable and weatherproof 3M adhesive, so they’ll remain firmly in place whatever the conditions. If riders choose to swap out their kits for a fresh look, the stickers can be removed easily without leaving residue on the frame.
Muc-Off has been protecting riders and bikes for nearly three decades, with protection sprays, tubeless and puncture prevention range, and more recently with products like the Stealth Tubeless Tag Holder, Stealth Tag Holder, and Bike Insurance. This Bike Protection Series launch steps their bike armor, offering up yet another gear.
