Elite Protec Wings: effective protection against sweat whilst cycling

When training on an indoor trainer, sweat can quickly build up on the frame, headset, stem and handlebars. Over time, the moisture and salts in sweat can cause corrosion of certain metal parts, damage the finish and accelerate wear and tear on exposed components.

Anti-perspiration protection Elite Protec Wings was developed to address this issue. Its absorbent technical fabric helps to wick away sweat before it reaches sensitive areas whilst cycling. It is suitable for both cyclists who train occasionally at home and those who cycle regularly, clocking up many hours of indoor cycling.

Modular protection for the frame and handlebars

What makes theElite The key feature of Protec Wings lies in its design, which consists of two independent parts. The first section protects the top tube of the frame, whilst the second covers the handlebar area.

This design allows the protection to be tailored to the cyclist’s needs. The part that fits onto the frame is compatible with all types of bikes, whilst the section designed for the handlebars is intended for road bikes.

The handlebar cover is made from a special microfibre that helps to minimise moisture build-up on the handlebar tape. It therefore helps to maintain a comfortable grip and keep the handlebar tape in good condition during intensive rides.

A highly absorbent technical fabric

TheElite Protec Wings uses a technical fabric designed to wick away sweat and protect exposed areas whilst cycling. This fabric barrier helps to minimise direct contact between sweat and sensitive components.

This protection is particularly useful for cyclists who regularly use an exercise bike in a poorly ventilated room or during long, intense sessions.

By minimising the build-up of sweat whilst cycling, the Protec Wings also makes post-workout maintenance easier. However, it is not a substitute for regular cleaning of components and does not guarantee complete protection against moisture ingress.

Quick installation and reliable performance

The Protec Wings is fitted with adjustable fastening systems and elasticated straps, making it easy to fit to the bike. The fastenings allow both sections to be adjusted to fit most compatible road bike frames and handlebars.

Moulded hook-and-loop fastenings are designed to provide reliable support and withstand repeated opening and closing. They are quick to put on and take off, allowing you to put the protection in place before each session and then remove it easily afterwards.

Its compact design also makes it easy to store when the bike is being used outdoors.

A built-in touchscreen smartphone pocket

Protection Elite Protec Wings features a dedicated smartphone pocket with a window that supports touchscreen controls. This allows you to keep your phone within easy reach whilst training without exposing it directly to sweat.

This feature is handy for using an indoor cycling app, tracking your training data or accessing a programme on your smartphone.

The pocket is designed to fit phones measuring up to 6.7 inches. Actual compatibility also depends on the phone’s external dimensions and whether it has a protective case.

Instructions for use and care

To make the most of the cover Elite Protec Wings: put it on before you start your indoor cycling session. Position the frame and handlebar sections correctly, then check that the fastenings are secure and that the fabric does not restrict your movements.

After a particularly intense session, remove the cover and leave it to dry in a well-ventilated place. Gentle hand washing is recommended to preserve the fabric’s properties and the shape of the various sections.

Avoid using a tumble dryer and ironing. Also remember to clean the parts of the bike hidden beneath the protective cover, particularly after long training sessions, to prevent sweat build-up.
