Aether Labs MTB Launches Blade Guard Modular Frame Protection
@LM-CZ: you and others have brought up what I've been seeing for years at the bike park. I agree the tire solution is a trusty one, and significantly better than a lot of options out there.
However, in our testing, the blade guard outperforms. TPU does an exceptional job at damping incoming forces.
I should note that this can be applied over factory or aftermarket paint protection films. You could easily have the best of both worlds, thin film for the sides where usually you're just worried about scratches and scuffs, leave the blade guard for the heavy lifting on the bottom.

Aether Labs MTB Launches Blade Guard Modular Frame Protection
The adhesive we use is very sticky but unless the paint is already cracked/lifting it's not going to rip anything off. The biggest risk is if you put it over any existing stickers or decals.
