EVOC BIKE RACK COVER - MTB

The EVOC Bike Rack Cover MTB is the ultimate solution for riders who want to arrive at the trailhead with a bike that is ready to shred, not covered in highway filth. When transporting a mountain bike on a rear-mounted hitch or boot rack, it is constantly bombarded by "road spray"—a corrosive cocktail of oil, salt, and grit kicked up by your car's tyres. This cover acts as a rugged, tailored barrier specifically designed to accommodate the wide handlebars and aggressive geometry of modern mountain bikes.

Constructed from high-quality, water-repellent polyamide, the cover is both lightweight and incredibly durable. It features integrated tensioning straps that allow you to pull the material taut against the bike's frame, preventing the "parachute effect" and noisy flapping at high speeds. This design ensures that while your bike is fully protected, your car’s tail lights and number plate remain visible to ensure compliance with road safety standards. Whether you are driving through a coastal storm or across dusty outback tracks, your bike remains shielded from the elements and damaging UV rays.

Key Features

• MTB-Specific Tailoring: Cut with a wider profile to fit mountain bikes with handlebars up to 800mm, ensuring a secure fit without stressing the material.

• Weather & UV Protection: Made from heavy-duty, water-repellent material that blocks rain, mud, road salt, and sun damage.

• Integrated Tensioning: Internal and external straps allow for a custom fit to your specific bike size, reducing wind resistance and drag.

• Rear-Rack Compatible: Specifically engineered for use with hitch-mounted or boot-mounted racks (not for roof rack use).

• Easy Maintenance: The smooth, durable polyamide surface can be quickly hosed down or wiped clean after a long road trip.

• Stowage Bag Included: Comes with a dedicated storage bag to keep the cover neatly packed away when not in use.

Specifications

✅ Why This IS For You

• The Pristine Rider: You want to keep your drivetrain, suspension seals, and bearings free from abrasive road grit during transit.

• Long-Distance Traveler: Ideal for interstate trips or holidays where your bike will be exposed to the elements on the back of the car for hours.

• E-Bike Owners: Excellent for protecting expensive electronic components and motor housings from moisture during wet-weather transport.

• High-End Frame Protection: Protects your carbon or custom-painted frame from stone chips and debris kicked up by your vehicle.

❌ Why This May NOT Be For You

• Roof Rack Users: This cover is not suitable for roof-mounted racks; the wind drag at that height can compromise vehicle handling and rack safety.

• Narrow Road Bikes: While it will fit, the extra material for wide MTB bars will be loose; the EVOC Road-specific cover is a better choice for drop bars.

• Quick Local Trips: If you only drive five minutes to your local trail, the time taken to fit the cover may outweigh the benefits for such a short journey.

BFC PRO TIP

Before fitting the cover for a long trip, make sure your bike is dry and the chain is freshly lubed. If you trap moisture inside the cover on a warm day, it can create a humid environment that may lead to surface oxidation on bolts. Also, always double-check the tension of the straps after the first 20km of driving; the fabric can "settle" at speed, and a quick re-tighten ensures the cover stays silent and aerodynamic for the rest of your trip!
