You\u2019re also likely to have spent a considerable amount of money on your beloved steed, so don&#8217;t take the chance with makeshift padding when transporting your bike on the bike rack. <\/p>\n<p>The Imbi was developed by South African, Earle Loxton, an avid cyclist who hails from Somerset West. Earle sought out a better way in which to protect his bike whilst on the bike rack as he travelled to various events and training rides. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-07521600-1479151946.jpg\" data-fileid=\"841181\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"841181\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-07521600-1479151946.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-07521600-1479151946.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After working through an assortment of prototype models, the Imbi was eventually born in 2015. Earle and his wife Mari\u00ebtte  introduced the Imbi to the world at the Inter-Bike show in Las Vegas. Shortly thereafter they managed to secure a distributor in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>The Imbi is produced from a soft, durable EPDM rubber with a velcro strap attached.  The design ensures that the Imbi will last the lifetime of your bicycle, while it is not easily lost, being bright red in colour.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-87605300-1479151940.jpg\" data-fileid=\"841180\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"841180\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-87605300-1479151940.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-87605300-1479151940.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After discussions with local distributor 88 Sports, the Imbi found its way to the shelves in a select number of cycling retailers across the country in April 2016. With a network of stores that stock the Imbi expanding on a daily basis, keep an eye out for it at your local bike shop.<\/p>\n<p>At a price of R299, the Imbi is reasonably priced accessory which you can\u2019t go without. Not only will it protect your bike from being scratched and chipped every time you need to transport it, but because the Imbi fits perfectly Imbi-tween, you\u2019ll be on your way in a matter of minutes each time you need to travel.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-34975000-1479151935.jpg\" data-fileid=\"841179\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"841179\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-34975000-1479151935.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-34975000-1479151935.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"bg-slate-100 p-5\">\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Connect with us:<\/h2>\n<p>Web: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imbi.co.za\/\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.imbi.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/imbicompany\/\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/imbicompany\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ImbiBikeSaver\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/ImbiBikeSaver<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introducing the Imbi Bike Saver, the latest cycling accessory you need to protect your bike.
