If you hate scratches on your bike as much as we do, keep it protected with the Off-Road Shelter Frame Pack from Effetto Mariposa. The kit offers almost invisible protection against impacts and scratches on your ride. Available as a sealed pack with two 54 x 500mm sections, its enough protection for one bike.
Who is this item for: Any rider who wants to protect their bike from scratches and impact damage.
How does it work: The tape is made with a composite structure. It features a 0.2mm thick scratch resistant upper layer, and a 1.0mm gummy layer underneath. The material distributes impact energy within itself to reduce it's efficiency to damage your frame.
Material: It is not specified what the protection is made from.
What type of frame: It is suitable for both carbon and metal (steel or alloy) frames.
Stand out features: Its easy to apply, it wont yellow like other frame protection and is even UV resistant (so the underlying paint will not be damaged). The Visco-elasticity also reduces vibrations which can only be a good thing, especially with some very rigid carbon frames.
Installation: Shelter frame protection is defined as semi-structural, so it is very strong but non-permanent. It takes Shelter 8 hours after installation to develop its optimal bonding, after that, the frame can be washed as per normal. It is also easy to install:

Cons: You will have to cut out the shapes yourself.

- Remove any cables or interfering elements and clean the area with Isopropyl alcohol. Remove any traces of dried alcohol with another clean cloth.
- Take a suitable pre-cut element or cut a custom sized piece and test fit it without removing the backing paper.
- Remove the backing paper and be careful not to touch the surface with your fingers (your finger prints will show up otherwise).
- Gently position the piece to where you want to protect without applying pressure or stretching it. Re-position if necessary.
- Start applying even pressure. Work from the centre out towards the sides to avoid trapping air bubbles or making wrinkles.
- Make sure you work on the whole element to make sure it sticks to the surface, especially on curved surfaces or tight edges.
- Go ride your bike!
Whats in the box:
