Who is it for?

This cover is for anyone who stores their bike outdoors — in a garden, on a patio, against a wall, or under a lean-to. It's the ideal garden bike cover or patio bike cover for cyclists without indoor storage. UV damage is often overlooked: even on overcast UK days, UV radiation fades paintwork, degrades rubber components, and weakens plastic parts over time. A waterproof bicycle cover prevents rain corrosion and UV damage simultaneously, extending the life of the bike significantly. It's also an essential part of winter bike storage — keeping your bike dry, rust-free, and ready to ride through the cold months. A practical, low-cost way to protect a bike that doesn't have a garage or shed.

Will it fit my bike?

The Oxford Aquatex Single cover fits most standard adult road bikes, MTBs, and hybrid bikes. It is designed for a single bike. If you have a particularly large bike (e.g. a full-suspension MTB with wide bars) or a cargo bike, check the dimensions before ordering.

Technical specification

Why choose the Oxford Aquatex?

Oxford Products is one of the UK's most trusted cycling accessory brands, and the Aquatex is their established outdoor bicycle storage cover solution. The breathable fabric is important — a non-breathable cover traps moisture underneath, which can cause more corrosion than no cover at all. The Aquatex allows moisture to escape while keeping rain out, making it suitable for permanent outdoor use rather than just occasional cover. For UK cyclists leaving a bike outside over winter, it's one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent bike rust and corrosion.

How to fit it

1. Place the cover over the bike from the front, pulling it down over the handlebars first
2. Pull the cover down over the saddle and rear of the bike
3. Secure the elasticated hem around the base of the wheels
4. For windy conditions, use the integrated straps or bungee cord through the wheel to anchor the cover

Common questions

Can I leave this cover on permanently outdoors?
Yes — the Aquatex is designed for permanent outdoor use. The breathable, UV-resistant fabric is suitable for year-round exposure to UK weather conditions.

Will this cover fit a mountain bike with wide handlebars?
The cover fits most standard MTBs. Very wide handlebars (over 780mm) or bikes with bar ends may require a larger cover. Check the product dimensions if you have a particularly wide setup.

Does the cover protect against UV damage?
Yes — UV resistance is one of the key features of the Aquatex. UV fades paintwork and degrades rubber and plastic components even on cloudy days. A UV-resistant cover prevents this deterioration.

Is this cover breathable?
Yes — breathability is important for outdoor bike covers. A non-breathable cover traps condensation underneath, which can cause corrosion. The Aquatex fabric allows moisture vapour to escape while keeping rain out.

Does it fit an e-bike?
Yes — provided the e-bike is a standard frame size. The cover fits over the frame and components including the battery. Very large cargo e-bikes may require a larger cover.

Is it suitable for winter bike storage?
Yes — the Aquatex is specifically suited to winter bike storage in the UK. It protects against frost, rain, and UV year-round, and the breathable fabric prevents condensation build-up during cold months.
