What's R.A.D.? Racing Armor Designs, Creative and Protective Frame Solutions

What's R.A.D.?
Racing Armor Designs is a brand of protective adhesive born from Cedric Gracia and Production Privée. http://www.racingarmordesigns.com

Racing: Because we are race car passionate, we always look at the tech used in Formula 1 and other race series and we spotted teams wrapping their cars instead of painting them.

Armor: The specific composition of the polymers used in Formula 1 results in a very light and strong film that proves to be impact-proof, self-healing, self-cleaning and durable (no yellowing nor crackling), protecting your frame better from daily aggressions. This film comes from Hexis and is called "BodyFence".

Designs: Using the best printing and cutting technologies, we are able to adapt BodyFence films to any kind of designs, this is why R.A.D stickers come in a wide range of colors, finishes and limited editions, but also shapes including full coverings.

Hexis was very excited to accept our mad C-Dog to put into images from the nearly magic properties of the Hexis Bodyfence films:

 It protects the video as well.

 If you want to try as many bikes possible without breaking the bank (frameswap), you'll need protection if you are going to sell them after few months use, as cosmetic damage lowers the price.. My point of view.

 I dunno. I sort of like the nicks and scratches my bike gets. Keeps it "Not Showroom Fresh" if you know what I mean. Anyone can have a clean bike, but not everyone can have a bike ravaged by trail use...

 I don't know about this everyone having a clean bike. If you actually ride it, even with protection it does take a beating.

 I recently got turned onto 3M Scotch Rubber mastic tape (PN 2228 ). It's basically a thicker tube, with adhesive. The stuff is amazing. Took all the old protection I had off the chainstay and downtube and put it on, and it has straight up been awesome so far. Contours really well to any shape, sticks to AL great, and if you happen to stick it to itself, it almost vulcanizes. And it's wicked quiet. Game changer from the old tube wraps I've always had (which have worked for years). No more popping zip ties and getting tubes sucked into things.

 And the fonts to the right of the Santa Cruz stickers weren't installed so they got outlined in pink.

 I bought some, and was disappointed by how thin the material actually was. The adhesive was also a bit weak too. Shame it could have been a good product.

 ISC Racers Tape, clear: expensive, but worth the extra at sale time at the end of the seasons. Trusted it for ten years. Comes in different widths.

 I just cover my entire bike with electric tape, I've been doing ir for 4456 years and never had a problem. I also have friends that do the same and they love it. And I didn't pay anything because I steal the tape. Win-win.

 Looks a lot like a Copy/Paste of what All Mountain Style has been doing (great) for a while... even the packaging.
