- Super light-weight, high performance carbon fibre down tube protector, hand made in the UK!
- Protects your frame from dents and knocks that can shorten the lifespan of your frame.
- Neat design with just over 180 degrees of wrap allows the protector to simply clip on to a round downtube, but can be fitted to other shapes with the use of the two supplied self-adhesive foam pads.
- Available in 2 diameters to fit almost all frames. To work out which size will fit your frame, simply measure the diameter of your downtube. We might not be certain what size your frame is, so the best way is for you to measure! If it is 42-46mm, choose Small. If it's 46-54mm go for the Medium.
- Length: 260mm
- Weight: 39g (small)
Examples of frames we have found to work with Small and Medium diameter versions are listed below, but we always recommend measuring your frame using the details in bold and do not take responsibility for purchase of the incorrect size.
Small protectors are designed to fit frames with approx 44mm diameter downtubes:
Speedrace FANS, Rockman Manus / Aurem / Akali, ZOO! Python (depending on year), ZOO! Piranha (depending on year), ZOO! Lynx (depending on year), Echo Lite and SL, Echo Pure and SL, Echo Trial 24", Echo Team, Echo Control (2010 and later), Echo Urban, Czar 24, Inspired Fourplay, Onza Comp 2010 (Grey and Purple), Onza Blade 2010 (White and Gold), Koxx Hydroxx (requires the use of supplied adhesive pads).
Medium protectors are designed to fit frames with approx 50mm diameter downtubes:
Koxx Sky frames, Rockman Slate II, Rockman Switch, Rockman Radix, ZOO! Python (depending on year), ZOO! Piranha (depending on year), ZOO! Lynx (depending on year), Crewkerz Cleep II 20".
These protectors can be made to fit frames with curved (Monty Kamel) or non-circular downtubes (Rockman Kortz) in most cases, but will usually need extra fixings such as zip ties.
Nice guard and fast delivery

I wanted a solid guard for my inspired hex and this was the nicest option I could find. The guard is very lightweight but feels like it will ward off solids hits. The carbon looks very clean and the install is super easy with the supplied double sticky tape. For reference I ordered the medium size guard which fits the Hex perfectly.

Hi Branden - thanks for the great review! The Pro-Carbon Down Tube Protector is a really nice fit on Inspired bikes like the Hex with a 48mm diameter down tube. Perfect for protecting those spangly Inspired paint jobs and frames from accidental impacts!
Great
