It is essential to adequately protect your motorcycle from rain, snow, and frost if it remains outdoors year-round.

Without additional protection, costly and permanent damage can quickly occur. A winter motorcycle cover provides the ideal solution, reliably shielding your vehicle from the elements.
With the right Motorcycle covers, your motorcycle not only stays dry, but also protected. This will get you through the winter without any expensive surprises and your motorcycle will be ready for the start of the next season! A high-quality motorcycle winter cover not only protects against frost and snow, but also protects your vehicle from less obvious dangers.

What should you pay particular attention to?
Many people do not know that road salt, which is spread over large areas by gritting vehicles, is also an underestimated danger in winter. The aggressive salt not only gets onto the paintwork through splashing water, but also through swirling snow or even snowballs, causing expensive damage. Furthermore, meltwater also poses a significant threat to your motorcycle.
It makes its way through the smallest cracks and openings, often with irreversible consequences. The water freezes again and expands as soon as the temperatures drop again, which can even cause components to burst. However, a Motorcycle covers specially developed for winter ensures that your motorcycle is protected from frost damage in the long term by effectively repelling moisture.
Common problems that occur on motorcycles without a suitable winter cover
- Rust formation on components such as the chain, bolts and other metal parts because moisture can penetrate the motorcycle unhindered
- Damaged plastic, rubber and chrome parts, as they become brittle or brittle due to constant moisture and extreme temperatures
- Paint damage caused by gritting vehicles and road salt, as dirt particles and salt residues can attack and destroy the surface
- Defective electronic components, such as the cockpit or controls, as these can be damaged by moisture and result in expensive repairs
- Hail damage to the windshield, cockpit and paintwork if your motorcycle is exposed to winter weather conditions without protection
- Lack of scratch protection, as many inferior Covers do not have a soft inner coating and the cover rubs directly on the paintwork

ATTENTION: Cheap covers will damage your motorcycle!
As many cheap Motorcycle covers are often made of inferior materials, they are susceptible to brittle spots and tear more easily, especially in sub-zero temperatures. As a result, they often don’t even last a single winter season and offer little or no protection. As motorcyclists, we have had to experience for ourselves in the past that a “cheap” Motorcycle cover usually fails very quickly in winter. However, a high-quality, winter-proof Motorcycle covers provide long-lasting protection.
Common problems with cheap Motorcycle covers in winter:
- Fabrics that are too thin and not tear-resistant
- No winterproof outdoor material
- Poor workmanship of the seams
- No additional fixations available
- Poor overall fit
- No inner lining to protect against scratches
Make sure that the material has a thickness of 300 denier, often abbreviated as “300D”, as thinner materials tend to tear easily when frozen or the seams come loose due to poor workmanship. Because only a good motorcycle winter cover will protect your motorcycle from the winter elements.
