Protect your cockpit controls in transit and storage

Our quick to fit, padded Hood Covers protect and preserve your hoods, levers, electronic gear changing mechanisms and bar tape when you are storing or transporting your bicycle. Universal fit. Made in Dorset.

The handlebars of a road bike contain vital technology, electronics and components to help you get the best performance from your bicycle. Likened in the cycling press to the steering wheel of a Formula 1 car, your handlebars are the widest point of your bicycle and are therefore prone to knocks and damage when not being ridden.

Our quick and easy to install Hood Covers give you peace of mind that your bicycle is protected from damage in one of the most vital areas.

For example, with a Hood Cover installed you can lean your bike against surfaces without the carbon levers getting scratched or the electronic gear change being activated. With the hood covers fitted, you can avoid bike-to-bike abrasion when, for example, packing bikes together in a forward-backward facing arrangement.

Our designers have created a one size fits all road bike Hood Cover so which ever bike you are riding, our covers will fit. We've tested them on the latest and larger SRAM Red HydroR and Shimano Dura-Ace ST-R9120 levers before perfecting the final shape.

The outer material is made from strong, hardwearing 600 denier polyester with a PVC waterproof backing providing protection against knocks and scratches, moisture as well as ultra-violet light damage to carbon.

Once you’ve used our Hood Covers they’ll be the first things you reach for when preparing to transport or store your bike.
