Clarke MC90 Large Motorcycle Cover review
The Clarke MC90 Large Motorcycle Cover is a bargain, highly rated solution to keeping your bike from the worst of the elements when no garage is available.
Motorcycle covers seem to have become, as with much else in life, increasingly sophisticated and expensive. While many of the cheapest are still over £20 yet also often resemble rubble bags, at the other extreme you can also easily spend in excess of £150 for their fancy dual layers and tailored designs.
Which is why, at a bargain price of £15.59 yet also with universally high ratings, the Clarke MC90 Large Motorcycle Cover from Machine Mart is all the bike cover many actually need.
Naturally, it’s a simple, straightforward design. It’s made from lightweight polyester, measures 2m x 1.2m so easily fits most middleweights and, usefully, has an elasticated hem for a snug fit making it less likely to blow away.
It’s in a subtle, two-tone black and grey, is ventilated to help prevent corrosion with extended use and is claimed to be resistant to both rain and UV rays and thus avoid faded paint. And all of that for just £15.59 is an absolute steal.
It’s also worth saying that bike covers, especially cheap, portable ones such as this (which comes with its own bag), can also be a good deterrent against theft if you’re leaving your bike away from home. They not only protect it from the elements, they hide it from view and, if it’s a fairly cheap cover, few will suspect it’s a valuable bike.
Don’t just take our word for it, either, as the Clarke MC90 Large Motorcycle Cover has also received glowing reviews on Machine Mart’s website, with the following standing out:
Graham: “Excellent quality fitted the motorcycle perfectly. The silvered colour will reflect sun light preventing paintwork discoloration.”
Michael: “Great cover, fits my bike lovely.”
And Dave: “It’s a nice cover, the perfect size for a 600. The only thing I say against it, is that it doesn’t have a belly strap and no holes for a chain lock, that’s the reason I didn’t give it five stars.”
