VHS Slapper Tape

The best chainstay protection and damping product we've found. It's clean, easy to install and it works.

VHS are a small, independent company based in Queenstown. They're all about making eco-friendly solutions and everything they make originates in New Zealand; the Slapper Tape is made from natural rubber and their carbon emissions are offset.

We've seen the development of the Slapper Tape right from the beginning and it's something we're proud to get behind now as a finished product. And as you might have guessed, we run it on our own bikes. We put a lot of work into designing Airdrop bikes to run as quietly as possible, and VHS is the icing on the cake. If all you want to hear is the buzz of a freehub and tyres schralping in the dirt, VHS is for you (see the video).

VHS: "The quietest bike you've never heard".
