Boardman Bike Covers — SLR, ADV & HYB

Boardman is a British brand sold through Halfords, and the range runs from road bikes through gravel and urban builds to hybrids and mountain bikes. They are bikes people buy to ride regularly rather than to admire, whether that is a commute, a club run or the weekend loop.

Ridden that often, they usually end up parked outside — in the yard, beside the shed, on a balcony, or locked to a rack outside a block of flats. Most of the range takes the STASH or the URBAN, which are the same size as one another; the wider-barred hybrid and mountain models take the XL / MTB.

Which BikeParka fits your Boardman?

Bar-end extensions, mirrors or a rack left on a commuting URB add width, so if you are near a size limit send us the model and we'll check before you order.

All BikeParka covers are waterproof, seam-sealed ripstop and PFAS- and PFC-free, and each packs into its own Stuff Sac. The URBAN has built-in lock-through panels; the STASH and XL / MTB have brass eyelets at the hem for a cable lock.

Which size cover?

Measure your bars end to end. The STASH and the URBAN are one size, up to 63cm, which takes the SLR 8.9 at around 42cm and the URB 8.9 at around 60cm. The HYB 8.6 is nearer 68cm, past that, so it needs the XL / MTB and its 100cm limit. A child's bike or BMX takes the Kids / BMX cover instead.

Boardman cover questions

Which cover fits a Boardman SLR 8.9?

The STASH or the URBAN. The SLR 8.9 is around 42cm across the bars, comfortably inside the 63cm both covers take. Choose the URBAN if you want the built-in lock-through panels so cover and bike can be secured together, or the STASH if you would rather thread a cable lock through the brass eyelets at the hem.

Will the URB 8.9 fit the same cover?

Yes, but with less to spare. The URB 8.9 is around 60cm across the bars against a 63cm limit, so it fits the STASH or URBAN. If you have bar-end extensions or mirrors fitted, message us before you order and we will check.

Why does the HYB 8.6 need the XL / MTB?

Its bars are wider — around 68cm, past the 63cm the STASH and URBAN take. The XL / MTB covers handlebars up to 100cm, so it suits the HYB 8.6 and the MTX 8.6.
