Bike Down Tube Frame Protector

Easy to install, very flexible rubber material, and it was priced right! Fit my Dad’s MTB GIANT “Iguana” perfectly on the bottom bar where it rubs on the tailgate pad. Which is why he wanted this, it was starting to buff off the clear coat.

Works as promised. Easy to install and remains attached. Looks nice too.

This MTB downtube guard works, but it’s certainly not very stylish. I have a TREK Top Fuel 9.3 so the downtube is carbon fiber and wide. This guard covers most of it, but not all. It’s also very thick and could probably be thinned to half of the thickness it is since the downtube mostly takes small rocks flying up from the front wheel. The design I purchased is not the one that was delivered, but I’ve been through returning one already and didn’t want to damage my bike any longer since I ride on dirt every other day. Installation was quite easy - I just flipped the bike upside down and carefully placed the guard dead center of the downtube, just above the bottom bracket guard that was OEM installed. So far, the guard hasn’t started peeling off and it’s taken quite a few small rock hits, protecting the paint finish of my bike so it’s working well. Overall, it’s a very inexpensive way to protect your ride if you don’t exactly mind the look.

Sticking well on my bike and protects the frame

I never really review stuff but I’ll do it for the MTB community. I already have a down tube protector for near the cranks (the bottom of the frame) that came with my Commencal Meta TR but every now and then my tire would toss some rocks at the upper portion so I needed something to protect it. I already had clear paint protection film (PPF) installed but that stuff really isn’t meant to handle rocks and will eventually allow your frame to dent so don’t think that that’s a solution to your problem. I looked forever for something that was rubbery, flexible, light, and tough enough to absorb the impact of any hard/sharp rocks but all of the options I had found, like the All Mountain Honeycomb (AMH) frame protection, never fit the bill. I was ready to give up but saw a comment that said something along the lines of “this is what you’re looking for, just buy it” and so glad I listened lol. It protects almost the entire upper down tube and it does a phenomenal job. So far the adhesive has been rock solid (installed on PPF, not directly to the frame) but if it fails I’ll definitely provide an update. If you have a wide down tube and want bonus points you can do what I did and cut pieces of the All Mountain Honeycomb stuff to make sure not a single spot of your down tube is unprotected. This worked out great because the frame is protected from any hard rock impacts in the areas most likely to see damage and the areas that weren’t protected due to the wide frame, are protected with the AMH that’s slightly less tough but even lighter weight.

It was bubble underneath but it’s nice thick rubber not perfect but ok

I have a white electric bike and every time I get on it my sneakers leave black marks from my sneakers on my top bar and they are hard to remove. This was the easiest solution, just put it on top of my top bar. It looks great and it covered the marks I couldn't get off. I highly recommend this protector.

Cost effective down-tube protection. Have used this one strip for several bikes, and withstands abuse, mud, cleaning, and shuttle trailers.
