Bike Protection

Optimal bike protection for every ride and for safe storage

Naturally, you want your road bike, mountain bike, or city bike to stay in top condition for as long as possible. Quality bike protection is half the battle. Looking for a sturdy bike travel bag for a flight to the mountains, or a practical bike cover for storage in your shed? At Mantel, we will help you make the right choice. By protecting your bike against scratches, moisture and dirt, you will not only save on maintenance costs but also extend the lifespan of your valuable gear.

The advantages of a bike travel bag

When taking your bike on a trip, a quality travel bag or case is indispensable. It offers the internal reinforcement needed to protect vulnerable parts, such as the rear derailleur and the frame, from damage during transport. If you are travelling by car and looking for the best way to keep your bike safe and dry on your car bike rack, a carrier bike bag is an excellent option. There are also plenty of choices for modern (e-)bike riders, such as an e-bike travel bag specifically designed to fit the dimensions of an electric bike.

A bike cover for protection from the elements

Not everyone has the luxury of a dry, heated garage for bike storage. If you need to store your bike elsewhere, a bike cover is an ideal solution. A high-quality bike cover protects the frame and drivetrain against rust and dust. For sporty riders, a road bike cover is essential when the bike is stored outside or transported on a car. Heading out by car? Use a road bike cover for car bike racks to prevent road spray and grit from affecting your bike's bearings.

• A bike travel bag or case provides optimal protection against impacts during air travel.

• A bike cover prevents UV damage to your bike's paintwork.

• Many sturdy bike covers feature an eyelet for a chain lock.

• Bike covers are easy to fold and store.

Choose the right bike cover, bag or case for your purposes

When choosing the right bike protection, remember that the fit is crucial. While a cover that is too large will catch the wind, one that is too small will not fully protect your bike. Whether you are looking for specialized covers or universal travel bags, pay attention to the waterproofing and breathability of the material; if these are good, they will prevent condensation from forming inside the cover and causing issues. Need advice on which bike bag best fits your specific model? Our expert staff, both in-store and at customer service, will be happy to provide assistance.

Tips for added bike protection: If your bike is parked on a public road, choose a cover with reflective elements to increase safety in the dark. When using a travel bag or case, always apply extra foam frame protection; you can't be too careful, especially if you are taking your bike on long flights.
