Effetto Mariposa Shelter Pack MTB Kit - 1.2mm

Self-adhesive Shelter Off-Road protection is a composite shock and scratch resistant transparent compound with visco-elastic behaviour.

Shelter Off-Road widely increases the shock-resistance of carbon-fiber or metal structures its applied to. Shelter Off-Road protects from impacts spreading their energy within its structure -, is abrasion and solvent resistant, doesnt yellow and has a semi-structural adhesion to the surface its applied onto: normal bicycle washing wont affect it, but it can be removed if needed without damaging the underlying paint.

Shelter Kit Off-Road: approx. 39 g (total weight of all the elements of the Kit)

Features

UV-resistant - Shelter is UV-shielded so it wont turn yellow over time and will even protect the underlaying frame paint from UV degradation.

Visco-elasticity reduces vibrations - The transmission of vibrational energy through any structure can be reduced by introducing visco-elastic materials at discrete points. Its exactly what Shelter does, providing stiff carbon frames with protection but also contributing to reduce vibrations.

Protects against scratches and shocks

Lightweight

Perfect adhesion also on curved surfaces

Doesnt turn yellow over time

How To Use

1. After removing cables or other interfering elements, clean the area where you want to apply Shelter with alcohol and a clean cloth. Remove traces of dried-up alcohol with a clean, dry cloth.

2. Take the suitable pre-cut Shelter element or cut a custom made Shelter piece, without removing the backing paper.

3. Peel Shelter backing paper on a length of 1 inch/25 mm, freeing the adhesive surface (do not touch adhesive surface with your fingers).

4. Stick the adhesive surface of Shelter on the area you want to protect by applying a firm and constant pressure with your thumbs.

5. Remove the rest of Shelter backing paper progressively, as you position and attach your Shelter element on the area you want to protect. Starting from the center, use your thumbs to push Shelter down, slowly working your way to the sides and applying a constant pressure.
