First Class Additions motorcycle covers
are specially designed to protect your bike from dust, dirt and scratches
during storage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A good motorbike cover must – at the
very least – be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
breathable
|
|
|
non-scratch
|
|
|
non-hygroscopic (does not absorb
moisture)
|
|
|
dust proof
|
|
|
a good fit
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, an outdoor bike cover
must also be waterproof and UV resistant.
|
|
|
|
|
Breathable
|
|
|
It is essential that a bike cover is made
of fully breathable material to allow for the escape of condensation when it
evaporates (see more about condensation under Fact and Fiction). Luckily,
nowadays most people are aware of this and reject cheap but non-breathable
nylon and PVC covers for what they are.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-scratch
|
|
|
One would think the need for a soft inner
lining to prevent scratches would go without saying, but how many bike covers
can you find that do actually have one?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-hygroscopic
|
|
|
The material must be moisture repellent –
even for an indoor cover! If the material absorbs and/or retains moisture
(like cotton) it will lie on your bike like a damp cloth. A cotton cover
should only be used in a completely dry room, which in our climate means in a
heated room. This is why a good universal cover should not contain
cotton.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dust proof
|
|
|
Above all, a bike should be protected
from dust and dirt. Any woven material will let in some dust through the
weave. A non-woven material offers better protection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Good fit
|
|
|
The cover must be the correct size for
the motorcycle and have some means to keep it in place. It should not touch
the floor where it could pick up dirt and grit which might cause scratches
the next time the cover is put over the bike, and it should not be blown off
by every slight breeze or each time the garage door is opened.
|
|
|
|
|
Whilst other covers fulfil only one or
two of the above requirements, First Class Additions bike covers are made of
specially developed materials fulfilling all of these requirements.
This makes them superior to the other products available.
Our bike covers can be divided into two
main groups
motorcycle covers for indoor use
(Supertex)
and
motorcycle covers for outdoor use
(Moltex)
