When you make an investment in a high quality mountain bike you know that eventually- or the first time you head out on the trail, your new steed will get dings and marks from truly ordinary trail conditions. As riders, we sort of expect this, but are no less happy about it. With high-end carbon or aluminum frames, though built to be structurally durable and safe, you can still kick up a rock at high speed that can take a chunk out of your frame and your soul. There are a few good protection systems on the market, but rider feedback and requests tell us All Mountain Style, a Barcelona-based company, is offering many of the best products on the market. The AMS Frame Guard XL protects larger full suspension bike frames from impacts, scratches and cable rubbing. It's made of an exclusive, super easy to install, high quality, honeycomb adhesive PVC of a quality that will last longer than your bike.

This product was developed to be ideal for Trail, All Mountain, Enduro, Freeride and DH bikes. You get 10 individually pre-cut parts that deliver essential coverage on most frame designs with placement flexibility based on your needs or preferences. The Clear version is perfect for protecting new frames without a garish effect (which some folks love) or hiding the graphic design from the manufacturer that attracted you in the first place. High impact and rub resistant honeycomb 380 microns semi-rigid PVC was created for the long haul and serious use. The automotive-grade materials won't yellow over time, and when properly applied, will stay in place for as long as you want them there. The pieces are super easy to install, even on the most difficult curves, and if you follow the instructions properly are much more forgiving to shift or move during the process. We are impressed and feel that there may be no better "accessory" investment you can make when you buy a new trail bike.
