Frameskin Kits

Many mountain bikers are familiar with Frameskin. This Canberra based company makes protective kits that are custom shaped to suit all manner of bikes; from Avanti to Yeti and just about everything in between. Originally these adhesive patches came with a clear and glossy finish. While this mated well with gloss painted frames, it didn’t sit so well with matte finishes. Now Frameskin offer a clear matte finish that blends seamless with matte carbon, anodised alloy and other frames that have a dull finish. Pictured here on the Santa Cruz Bronson test bike, you can barely see the Frameskin. Kits range from around $30 to over $100 and there are generic kits that will work if you don’t see your bike listed on the Frameskin website.
