invisiFRAME Insight: What bikes can you protect with invisiFRAME?

At invisiFRAME, we know your bike is a big investment. It’s an extension of that escapist feeling, and one worth protecting from rock strikes on the trail to stone chips on the road, every mile leaves its mark. Whilst a custom kit will cover up to 98% of your bike, a universal kit will cover the largest surface areas that are most prone to damage. That means whatever the bike brand, frame type, forks or riding style - we can help.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the bikes that come under our custom kit list and the self-healing, non-yellowing and easy to fit universal solutions for those that don’t. Find My Ride is the best place to start (scroll down to find it on our homepage) - an interactive dropdown that’ll point you in the right direction. Also check out our A-Z of brands covered, which you can filter by make, model and year to dial in your search.

Mountain Bikes:

No bike takes more of a beating. Whether hitting a techy downhill line, a big kicker, or running laps at the local park, your bike is getting sprayed by rocks, sand, loose branches and exposed roots. Add a rough-and-ready shuttle back up the mountain, sandwiched between travel to and from the trail - your bike is taking a serious beating.

Our precision-cut MTB kits wrap your full-suspension or hardtail frame, forks and crank to shield it against the knocks that come with all levels of mountain riding. For e-MTBs, we design kits around the bigger frame profiles and added weight, so you get the same invisible protection without compromise.

Full-Suspension (Enduro, Downhill, Trail)

As the original name in frame protection, we’re trusted by the likes of the Continental Atherton MTB Team, as well as pro riders Charlie Hatton, Matt Jones, Samantha Soriana and heaps more. To get clued up on the names behind the brand, check out invisiFRAME Insight: Who is the team behind invisiFRAME?. To keep up with the ever-flowing innovations in mountain biking tech and design, we have over 40,000 individual Protection Kits in custom fits.

A high number of these cover full-suspension frames from big name manufacturers: Santa Cruz, Specialized, Trek, Canyon, YT Industries, Pivot Cycles, Marin, Giant, Orbea, Nukeproof, and Atherton Bikes to name a few. 

“With bikes in and out of vans and bags, it’s inevitable for them to have a rough time no matter how careful we are, so just saving the paintwork helps so much."

Hardtails

Protecting your hardtail with an invisiFRAME Kit is a smart move for all types of rider. From rocky singletrack to daily miles on the road through winter, frame protection keeps your bike looking fresh and performing at its best. We offer custom Protection Kits for everything from the latest bike releases to models that first hit the shelves back in the early 2010s. Fitting a  custom invisiFRAME PPF Kit to a secondhand hardtail will give it a new lease of life with the bike maintaining a higher resale value - something to always keep in mind when investing in a new bike.

E-Bikes 

E-bikes are built to go further and faster, which means they see their fair share of knocks, scrapes, and scratches. As the E-MTB market grows in popularity, so does the span of unique frame designs to incorporate things like integrated batteries, oversized tubing and motor housings.

That’s why invisiFRAME offers a growing range of frame protection for e-bikes, tailored to fit leading models from brands like Specialized, Cube, Trek, Orbea, and Whyte. Whether it’s shielding the housing from rock strikes or keeping the downtube free from shuttle rash, our precision-cut protection keeps your bike looking fresh and ready to ride.

Road & Gravel

Road and gravel bikes might not take the same hits as downhill rigs, but they’re far from safe from wear and tear. Long days in the saddle mean constant exposure to grit, stones, and debris, while gravel riding throws unpredictable terrain into the mix. Over time, even the smallest chips and scuffs can dull your frame’s finish and cause more than aesthetic damage down the line… that’s where a custom invisiFRAME kit comes in.

We offer tailored protection for everything from carbon road frames to stacked gravel setups, backed by the likes of former pro road racer and content machine Phil Gaimon, plus ultra endurance athlete César Merás. Another one for road users is invisiSAFE - discreet reflective strips (available in 3 sizes) that attach to your wheel rims for night rides and increased visibility over winter. We’ve had some great feedback from road cyclists, gravel riders and bikepackers alike, so well worth checking out.  

Universal Kits:

If you can’t find a custom kit available for your bike model, our specialist Universal Wraps offer a super easy and effective solution. We use the same premium protective film as that found in our custom boxes with the same self-healing and non-yellowing properties. It’s really easy to fit at home and you can choose the frame type, size and finish to match your bike e.g. road, gravel or hardtail MTB. Some adjustments to the length of parts and a cut around any cable bosses will be required for best fit, but it’s still worth following our How to fit guide if you’re a little nervous to get started.

While our Custom Kits can cover up to 98% of your bike, a Universal Kit focuses on the largest, most vulnerable areas of any frame to ensure maximum coverage where it matters most. To go even further, our range of universal products also includes cable rub patches and other add-ons to give your bike complete protection. For riders that want to protect the critical areas of their bike but don’t want to invest in a full coverage solution, the Prime Protection Kit is well worth a deep dive. 

If you’ve got any Qs before choosing the right protection for your bike, our friendly customer service team is always on hand to help - just drop us a message and we’ll get you sorted.
