Motorcycle Covers

Protect your Investment with a Motorcycle Cover from XLMOTO

Protecting your bike with a motorcycle cover from XLMOTO will safeguard your investment and here’s why.

Motorcycle cover versus the elements

While you may be fortunate enough to park your two-wheel pride and joy in a garage, shielding it with a scooter cover still makes sense. Dust may seem harmless but a build-up absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and can affect the corrosion process.

If your motorcycle lives outside, a heavy-duty motorcycle cover is a must-have. Rain is a menace. It accelerates rusting and can play havoc with your electrics. Worse still, if rainwater soaks into the seat, you'll be riding in soggy pants until it dries out.

Rainwater is a nuisance. Yet, the damage a motorcycle sustains from the sun can prove costly and dangerous. Ultraviolet rays fade your paintwork and too much sun attacks rubber, drying it out. This process results in dangerous cracking around the tyre wall and brake hoses.

Motorcycle cover for security

Heavy-duty motorcycle covers are essential for protecting your motorbike against the element. However, they also play a vital role in motorcycle security. The number of stolen motorcycles in the EU is rising. A motorcycle cover is the first line of defense. A sturdy polyester motorcycle cover can hide gleaming paintwork and shiny chrome from thieves. Furthermore, it also makes it more challenging to identify a motorcycle’s make and model.

Also, a potential thief would need to spend valuable time and risk exposure removing a motorcycle cover. Only then would they be able to see any other security devices.

A motorcycle cover also provides a base for additional security. Tough, weather-resistant polyester motorcycle covers fitted with belly straps are easy to adapt to take a padlock. If you use an alarmed padlock or alarmed disc lock, the movement to remove the secured cover is sufficient to trigger the alarm.

Motorcycle cover types

Basic motorcycle covers offer excellent value for money. They are available in small, medium, large and extra-large sizes. These sizes cover everything from mopeds and scooters to big-bore custom and adventure bikes.

For protection from the elements and prying eyes, the fit is everything. If your motorcycle has luggage, XLMOTO offers heavy-duty motorcycle covers to fit bikes with top boxes.

This feature is important as trying to stretch a standard or basic cover over a top box means it will not reach the bottom of the wheels. These tailored top box-friendly covers are sturdy and provide additional weather protection. The type of motorcycle cover you choose will depend on two things. First of all, your budget and second, whether your motorbike has attached luggage. Whichever type you opt for though, it will protect your motorcycle from the elements and prying eyes.
