Bike Armor
Owner | 01/2017 - Current
At Bike Armor, we're passionate about bikes. Mountain bikes, road bikes, gravel grinders, cross bikes, fat bikes, well you get the picture! We're determined to design and manufacture the best possible products to protect your frame and we're always experimenting with new stuff and trying to make our products better! We love to ride and test out products so that they work the best they possibly can! If you have any questions about our products, or you have any feedback, please give us a shout - we'd love to hear from you!
BIKE ARMOR offers multiple materials and designs to protect your bike frame and components. Our Tough Dome domed bicycle frame protectors feature a 1.25-1.5 mm polyurethane dome which absorbs impacts and rebounds to its original shape, giving your bike frame maximum protection against the elements. Our Lite Shield PVC material is light but unbelievably tough, offering protection for your frame, fork, cranks and bars. Available in regular and PLUS versions. Our polyurethane frame tapes are perfect for quick applications almost anywhere you need some protection. Protect your frame from rocks, sticks, trail and road debris and even that rough tailgate carrier!
Bike Armor, the best bike frame protection you can get for your Mountain, Gravel, Commuter or Road bike.
