What material are the fork covers made from?
They are made from durable plastic with a carbon effect finishing and feature rubber protections for the forks.
How do these protect my forks?

How should I clean the fork covers?
Clean them with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the finish.
Troubleshooting
Covers feel loose after installation
Ensure the Velcro is fully engaged and tightened securely. Check that the fork diameter falls within the 43-48mm range specified. If still loose, consider using a zip tie for added security on the inside of the Velcro closure.
Covers interfere with steering
Re-center the covers on the fork stanchions and ensure they are not positioned too high or too low, which could cause them to contact fairings or other components during full lock turns. Adjust their position as needed.
Velcro losing grip over time
Clean the Velcro surface on both the hook and loop sides using a brush to remove dirt and debris. If the Velcro is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
