Will Your Omega Graphics Actually Last? The Honest Truth
Real talk – we get asked this all the time. Will your graphics fade? Will they peel? Will they survive a full season of getting thrashed? Here's exactly what you need to know so you can stop worrying and start riding.
The Short Answer
Our graphics are built to last 4–5 years when properly installed and maintained. That's way longer than the cheap stuff you'll find elsewhere. But they're not indestructible – they need the right care to stay looking fresh.

What Actually Happens to Graphics
Graphics fade for a few reasons. UV exposure is the biggest culprit – sun breaks down the ink and laminate over time. Harsh chemicals (like aggressive cleaners), extreme heat, and poor installation also speed up fading. If your graphics aren't applied properly, they'll start peeling and looking dodgy within months.

How to Keep Them Looking Fresh
Here's the deal: proper maintenance is everything. Wash your bike regularly with mild soap and water – avoid harsh chemicals and go easy on the high-pressure washers that can lift the edges if you get too close. Dry with a soft cloth. If you're storing your bike for a while, keep it out of direct sunlight. And if you're riding in extreme conditions (salt water, intense heat), your graphics will fade faster – that's just physics.
