Polish, protect, and care – With Gusti's best leather care products for your bike
Cycling is one of life's greatest joys – whether you're riding through the Alps or the Harz on a sunny day or mastering your daily commute all year round. But while you and your bike enjoy nature, it's sometimes different for your leather accessories. UV rays, dust, and sweat take a toll on your leather saddles, saddle bags, panniers, and handlebar bags.
With the right leather care, you can ensure that your gear not only looks good all year round but also functions optimally. High-quality cleaning and care products keep your leather accessories shiny, protected, and ready for every new adventure.
Why caring for your leather bike accessories is important
Your leather bicycle accessories such as saddles, luggage rack bags, handlebar grips or bags require optimal care.
Here's why leather care is a must:
Protection from weather influences: Your cycling accessories are exposed to wind and weather. With proper care, you can prevent cracking and fading and increase the longevity of your leather products.
Comfort and Softness: Well-maintained saddles remain comfortable and supple, so you always have a pleasant riding experience. Regular cleaning removes dirt, sweat and oils and ensures that your saddle lasts for years.
Water protection and care: With water-repellent and caring treatments you protect your leather from rain and dust.
Timeless elegance: A well-cared for leather product ages in style and develops a fine patina that further enhances its charm.
Step-by-step guide to leather care
When cycling, dust, moisture and other external influences can affect the overall appearance of your leather goods. With a little daily care, you can get your saddle bags, luggage rack bags and handlebar bags back into shape.
Do's -
Wipe your leather accessories with a slightly damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.
Remove stains or marks by wiping the area with a cloth or sponge and then allowing the item to air dry.
Use a dry, white cloth to blot away oily stains.
If your leather product is a little greasy, wipe it with a clean, dry cotton cloth. If it's sunny outside, place your bag in the sun to reduce the grease layer.
Clean dirty seams on your bike bags with a damp cotton swab and cleaner.
Use a high-quality leather cleaner on your bike products to keep them protected for years to come.
Don'ts
Never use saddle soap, oils, blow dryers, abrasives, varnishes, or furniture polish to clean leather accessories.
Never use water on oil-based stains.
