RideWrap is a rider-owned brand based in Whistler, Canada. Their products are precisely engineered and ensure the best protection for your bike. The Tailored Protection kit is specifically designed for each model and size and provides up to 95% coverage. Unlike other options, each kit includes all the tools you need for installation (microfiber cloth, squeegee, cleaning wipes, and install solution concentrate). Kits are available in clear gloss or matte finish. The film has low surface energy, which deflects dirt, and is self-healing, so minor scuffs and scratches disappear with a little heat.Take great care of your bike frame with MTB frame protection products from specialist brands such as Bike Shield and Nukeproof.

If using a full-frame kit, we recommend removing the wheels to make it easier to work around the frame.

I could not be more satisfied, excellent design, lightweight, and tough. The Giant CXR-2 Carbon Disc WheelSystem is a bit of a treat, and makes the bike look exceptionally smart. As per all of Liv/Giant's carbon bikes, this model arrives set-up tubeless. The tyres specced are Maxxis Velocita tubeless rubber in 40c. These feature an almost completely smooth surface. On the road, they bombed along, reminiscent of how I imagine a trusty old tractor to feel were I given the opportunity to get behind the driver's seat. The Velocita tyres also performed well enough on dusty fire roads, but I swapped them for a wider and more knobbly option for more techy trails - resulting in an immediate increase in confidence. The women's specific sister to Giant, Liv is one of few brands still persisting with a wholehearted belief in drawing up bikes with women's specific geometry. The brand says that women have shorter upper bodies comparative to their legs, and that they carry weight differently, affecting centre of gravity as well as utilising lower body muscles slightly differently. Professional enduro racer Iago Garay created Dyedbro (Do You Even Drift Bro) to protect bikes with a bit of his own artistic flair. The Dyedbro kits come in many different designs and one size with customizable segments to fit any mountain bike. There are eight pieces in total to protect the top tube, downtube, seatstays, and chainstays from any abuse you might dish out.Installing a downtube protector is a relatively straightforward process. First, you'll need to clean the downtube of your bike to ensure the protector adheres properly. Then, you'll apply the protector, making sure it's centred and smooth. Finally, you'll press down firmly to ensure it's securely attached. Conclusion
