Description

VHS is back! and there must have been one hell of a montage happening behind the scenes because it's become more powerful than you could ever imagine.

VHS 2.0 is bigger, and tougher with a wider 70mm base (up from 25mm on the original) that will wrap around your chainstay and mould to the shape of your frame. The new design is UV resistant and has softer air bubbles for an even quieter ride without any compromise to its durability.

VHS (Velocity Hucking Systems) is designed in New Zealand and tested around the world on some of the wildest trails out there. The tape will replace that tattered inner tube or puny factory protector on your chainstay with a long-lasting and effective sound deadener that will make your bike look pro.

Give your bike the silent treatment more thoroughly than ever before.

Who's this item for: The VHS Slapper Tape is perfect for anyone that is fed up with having a noisy bike and wants a neat and effective solution that will banish the sound of chain slap for good.

Materials: Manufactured from malleable and UV resistant silicone rubber

Dimensions:

  • Length: 350mm
  • Width: 70mm (45mm wider than the original!)
  • Height: 10mm

Installation

  • Remove your existing chainstay protection (including any protective film).
  • Give the chainstay a really good clean to remove any grunge or old adhesive. Finish it off with some isopropyl alcohol to get things squeaky clean. Avoid using household cleaners as they often contain silicone which will prevent the adhesive from sticking properly.
  • Test the length of VHS and trim to size if required
  • Peel the backing tape and apply even, firm pressure while attaching the VHS tape to the bike.
  • Leave it to set for at least 30 mins before riding, and up to 6 hrs if you'll be heading out into wet conditions.
  • Offcuts can be great for use in other small areas.

Standout feature: Looks a bit like a strip of Cadbury's dark chocolate but this thing is chockablock full of sound deadening goodness. The knobby rubber design creates more surface area for the chain to contact and gives the chainstay more padding without being too bulky.

Pros: Looks neat and will banish chain slap to make your bike sound super stealthy.

Cons: Doesn't taste like chocolate.

    awesome

    easy to fit, but take care to get it right the first time as its so sticky you wont get a second shot.

    completely eliminated chain slap on my enduro rig, could not be more happy with it.

    Looks fantastic and works great

    Awesome product. The V2 is much wider than the V1, so you can get full wraparound coverage on a lot of frames. Looks better than a lot of OEM chainstay protection and was a great aesthetic/functional improvement on my bike. Functions well to reduces the sound from chain slap. It's proven durable so far, but I'll see how well it lasts as it's not cheap. The adhesive is very good! You won't be able to remove it at all to adjust the application, so get it right the first time. Be mindful that it will stretch if pulled and will end up slightly longer than you intended. If you're gentle when applying, you shouldn't have that issue.

    Does it work? Yes.

    Does it stick and stay in place? Yes. Does it keep the drivetrain silent? Yes. Can it follow irregular shapes? Yes. Does it stop dirt/mud building up behind that expensive OEM chainstay protector? Yes. So if you don't want a simple cost-effective, easy to fit chainstay protector, that does all of this then don't buy the VHS V2.
