How can a winter-proof Motorcycle cover protect you?
If a motorcycle is left outside all year round, it must be adequately protected against rain, snow and frost.

A motorcycle winter tarpaulin provides reliable protection from the weather in such cases.
With a winter-proof Motorcycle covers you can get your motorcycle safely through the winter until the start of the next season! Motorcycle winter tarpaulins protect against snow and frost.
Is there anything you should pay particular attention to? Yes! Usually ignored: The salt from gritting vehicles!
Salts or other grit that hits the paintwork from spreaders or even unintentionally from snowballs causes expensive scratches on the paintwork. This is exactly where a high-quality motorcycle cover Winter comes in, effectively protecting your motorcycle from such damage.
Another mostly underestimated problem is the melt water. It flows into every gap or opening, no matter how small, and when it freezes again, it expands so that components not only get slight cracks, but are literally “blown up”. However, with a motorcyclecover for the winter, your motorcycle is optimally protected.
Common problems that occur without a Motorcycle cover for the winter:
- Rust in spring on various components (on screws, chain, etc.)
- Damaged rubber, plastic and chrome components
- Paintwork damaged by road salt and road gritters
- Defective electronic components such as the cockpit or controls
- Hail damage to paintwork, cockpit and windshield
- No inner lining to protect against scratches
To get through the winter worry-free, your motorcycle needs additional protection with a high-quality outdoor Motorcycle cover for the winter!

ATTENTION: Cheap covers will damage your motorcycle!
Unfortunately, there are many cheap motorcycle tarpaulins on the market that do more damage to your motorcycle than protect it. As motorcyclists, we have had to experience for ourselves in the past that a “cheap” Motorcycle cover usually doesn’t even last a season or the winter. A high-quality Motorcycle cover winter-proof, even for “Louis”, ensures 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 general passfrom
- 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.
