Muc-Off launches new Bike Protection Series

Muc-Off, the bicycle and motorcycle care and performance specialists, has debuted a brand new material, developed in the UK, in their new Bike Protection Series.

Launching the series, 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, the brand is keen to emphasize that 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, easy application and removal, whilst also fitting even the most obscure bike geometries.

Each kit format is offered in 6 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
  • 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 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.

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.

Muc-Off have 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 out there. All the graphical kits feature a durable and weatherproof 3M adhesive, so they’ll remain firmly in place whatever the conditions; and if riders choose to swap out their kits for a fresh look, the stickers can be removed with ease, without leaving residue on the frame.
