1. What is a RideWrap Wheel Protection™ kit?
RideWrap Wheel Protection kits are designed to protect your rims with the same features and benefits as our frame protection offerings. Made with our latest bicycle-specific protection film, Lotus Pro™, with embedded superhydrophobic ceramic and self-healing capabilities, the first paint protection film in the world made from recycled materials.

The film creates a protective barrier on your rims, absorbing impacts and preventing damage from rocks, trail debris, and other hazards. It also keeps your wheels looking fresh and scratch-free, preserving their appearance.
3. Does the Wheel Protection™ kit affect the performance of my wheels?
Not at all! The film we use is designed to be extremely lightweight and nearly invisible once installed. It won’t affect your wheels’ performance, aerodynamics, or handling. You’ll get full protection without any compromise.
