The film

Not a sticker. Serious protection.

We use a premium protective film engineered to take a beating and disappear on your frame.

Self-healing

Light scuffs and swirl marks vanish with heat from the sun or warm water.

Optically clear

Near-invisible once applied — your frame's colour shows through untouched.

Impact-tough

Built to absorb repeated trail strikes, stone chips and abrasion.

Trail-grade

Chosen and proven for what mountain frames actually take — trail debris, chain slap and hard days out.

One rock strike is all it takes.

A single trail rock, a shuttle rub, a tip-over in the car park — and thousands of rands of carbon is chipped for good. Protective film takes the hit so your frame doesn't. It self-heals minor scuffs, keeps your bike looking new, and protects resale value for the day you sell.

Trusted by riders across the Western Cape.

Questions

Before you book

How does booking and payment work?
Fill in the booking form with your bike and billing details. We'll confirm availability and send your invoice. For private bookings, your slot is secured once payment is received. Trade and dealer accounts are invoiced on their usual terms.
What's the difference between the coverage levels?
Essential (35%) protects the down tube and chainstay — the two zones that take the most abuse. Standard (65%) is our most popular kit, covering every high-impact area: top tube, down tube, chainstay, seat stay and seat tube. Essential and Standard are universal-fit kits — cut to fit a wide range of frames rather than one specific model, so they cover the key zones on almost any bike. Full (95%) is different: it's frame-specific, custom-cut to your exact make, model and year for near-total coverage — forks, cranks and more included.
Gloss or matte — which do I choose?
Every kit comes in both gloss and matte. Choose the one that matches your bike's existing paintwork so the protection stays near-invisible. You'll select this on the booking form.
What if my exact bike model isn't listed?
No problem — we cut kits for a huge range of makes and models, including less common frames. Choose the closest option or select "other" on the form and tell us your make, model and year. We'll confirm the fit before your booking.
What if I'm outside the Western Cape?
Our in-person installs run from our Cape Town workshop and partner bike shops. If you're elsewhere in South Africa, message us on WhatsApp and we'll sort you out with a DIY kit — same protection, shipped to your door with step-by-step instructions.
Does my bike need to be clean?
Yes, please. We ask that bikes arrive clean — standard wrapping includes a light clean, but bikes that arrive heavily caked in mud or grease need significant extra prep, so a R200 cleaning fee applies. A clean frame also means a better, longer-lasting install.
Is it really invisible once applied?
Near enough — the film is clear and blends seamlessly into your frame, so it protects without changing how your bike looks. Match gloss or matte to your paint and most people can't tell it's there.
