Effetto Mariposa Shelter Off-Road Roll 80mm x 1m Frame Protector

Protective Film For Off-Road Bike Frames
There are many ways to protect the frame on your Mountain Bike, but few do it as effortlessly as Effetto Mariposa Shelter Off-Road. This self-adhesive, protective film has a thickness of 1.2mm and unmistakably increases the shock-resistance of any carbon-fibre or metal components to which it's applied.

Shock & Scratch Resistant
Being a unique blend of shock & scratch resistant transparent material this Effetto Mariposa Shelter Off-Road Frame Protection Film has a scratch-resistant upper layer and a gummy visco-elastic layer underneath which provides stiff carbon frames with protection but also contributes to reduced vibrations within the structure. It also has a semi-structural adhesion to the surface upon which it's applied (24 hours after application) but can be removed - if needed - without damaging the underlying paintwork.

Won't Yellow With Age
Shelter Off-Road protects your frame from impacts by spreading their energy within its structure. It is both abrasion and solvent resistant; and your bike can be washed as per normal with no detrimental effect on the product. Also UV-shielded this frame protector won't yellow with age and will even protect the underlying frame paint from UV degradation. However, after the removal of Shelter, there may be differences in colour between UV protected areas and not, in case of fluorescent paints or bright colours.
