"What Our GearheadĀ® Experts Are Saying:""The downtube is the first thing that takes a hit on the trail and the first thing that shows it, so putting RideWrap film on before the first ride is just common sense on any bike worth protecting. The extended length piece covers the full exposure zone, and the vinyl holds up against the kind of rock strikes that would leave raw marks on an unprotected frame.""The downtube is the most exposed surface on any mountain bike, sitting directly in the path of whatever the front wheel kicks up on trail. Rock strikes, mud, and debris hit this area harder and more consistently than anywhere else on the frame, and without protection, those impacts leave marks that compound ride after ride into something that looks like the bike has had a hard life, even when it has not. The RideWrap Essential Downtube MTB Protection + Install puts an end to that before it starts. When you purchase this alongside a new mountain bike order, our shop mechanics apply the extended length downtube film during the build process, so the protection is in place before your bike ever sees a trail. Available in gloss and matte finishes to match your frame, the vinyl and polyurethane construction absorbs impact energy and resists abrasion without adding any visible bulk to the frame."
