Frameguard, a tough metal-reinforced polymer moulding, stops damage to the paint and lower end of the downtube on carbon and aluminium bikes. The impact of rock strikes around the crank area of the frame are absorbed and dispersed, instead of being able to crack, dent or shatter. Designed to fit many market leading brands such as Specialized, Cube, Mondraker, Santa Cruz etc.FeaturesArched Design: The overall curvature of Frameguard gives extra volume, to ensure a seamless fit between the guard and the frame - regardless of bike brand.Impact Absorbing Material: The high shock absorbing polymer is specially formulated to take on heavy rock strikes, and avoid damaging the paint or frame. Its flexible properties allow it to absorb the impact, without damaging the frame behind it.Metal Plate: An aluminium plate moulded inside the Frameguard reinforces the tough, shock absorbing polymer material, and also bends the Frameguard to suite each bike frame.Feathered Out Design: Tapers towards your bike frame to give it a seamless finish, and appear as part of the bike.Drain Holes: To avoid the build-up of mud and debris under the Frameguard, these drain holes will allow water to flow through when washing the bike down post-ride.Inner Channel: Allows water, mud, and debris to flow through.Velcro Fastenings: Frameguard needs to be removable to allow the cleaning and maintenance of your bike. These strong Velcro straps offer an easy solution for removing the guard quickly, without removing the tabs.Metal & Adhesive Tabs: Aluminium tabs are the ideal material to curve to your frame and enable maximum anchorage when the high grade self-adhesive is fixed in place. Frameguard will not move under wet, muddy or harsh riding/cleaning conditions - however, the tabs will peel away under hairdryer heat, leaving no damage to paint work.How Does it Fit the Bike?A metal reinforced plate not only adds extra impact protection but also allows you to bend the Frameguard to fit the shape of the bike frame to give you a seamless fit. There are 4 self adhesive fastening tabs which stick to the frame and are attached to the Frameguard via Velcro straps. The Velcro straps hook through the tabs and the Frameguard to hold it to the frame. To remove the Frameguard simply undo the straps.
