At just 1.5mm thick, it provides reliable defense against flying rocks, trail debris, and cable rub without adding unnecessary bulk to high-performance builds. Engineered with a dual-compound structure, the Gladius easily conforms to complex curves and asymmetrical frame contours where standard thick guards or adhesive films fail to seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16.0pt;

The base layer consists of a soft, flexible Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU 95A) containing an engineered grid of discrete pillars and expansion slots. Upon impact, these pillars compress to absorb and dissipate kinetic energy before it can reach your frame. The top layer is composed of a rigid TPU\/Nylon hybrid with a Shore D hardness of 72. This low-friction cap deflects incoming trail debris and allows the frame to slide smoothly off obstacles, reducing the risk of adhesive snags or delamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eModular Dovetail Scaling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe sliding male\/female dovetail joint allows riders to customize their coverage layout.
