Muc-Off E-Bike Dry Wash Bike Cleaner

Average Joe loves nothing more than his car… except for his eMTB of course. And just as he does with his car, every Saturday morning he should also give his bike a thorough clean! Muc-Off offers just the right products for this manly ritual and the Dry Wash Cleaner is a highlight in Muc-Off’s product range. Like a dry shampoo, the Dry Wash Cleaner doesn’t require the use of water to remove dirt and grease. As soon as you stick the cleaner on your bike the dirt dissolves as if by magic. This means you’ll be able to wash your bike much quicker while protecting the electrical components from water and moisture. Now your bike is ready for the next Sunday ride – shiny and clean of course! And your neighbors will be green with envy!

Vibram Megagrip

Is there anything better than grip? Yes, more grip! This rule applies to your tires just as much as the soles of your shoes when riding with flats. No one wants to decorate their shins with the sharp pins of flat pedals. Sole-expert Vibram has the solution — it’s called Megagrip. A number of manufacturers including Giro and Bontrager are already using the sole in their product range. The rubber is designed to offer top-grip both on and off the bike – we all have to walk from time to time for example to get a pint! The sole was developed to last a long time and to perfectly adapt to all types of surfaces. Sounds too good to be true! We’re looking forward to seeing the car industry using the Megagrip sole on their wheels too.

POC Joint VPD System Knee

The POC Joint VPD System Knee are the perfect knee pads for nudists! They’re extremely comfortable and you won’t even know they’re there. The VPD foam protector is super thin and extremely flexible, yet still offers a high level of protection. It’s available in three sizes. Don’t be surprised if you see naked people walking around in their knee pads. They probably forgot to take off their POC Joint VPD System Knee.

Camelbak K.U.D.U. 30 Trans Alp

Did you know that a thirsty camel can drink over 200 liters of water in just 15 minutes? This means that the 3-liter bladder that fits in the Camelbak K.U.D.U. 30 backpack would last less than seven seconds. Nevertheless, the Kudu works as a superb storage solution, just like a camel’s hump. There’s room for all kinds of spare clothing, tools and even an eMTB battery. By the way: camels don’t actually store water in their humps. The densely calorific fatty humps provide protection against heat and cold — and of course provide food when the going gets tough. The K.U.D.U. features a back protector and a sophisticated back-plate that is designed for optimal ventilation. The Camelbak K.U.D.U. 30 backpack is a “must-have” accessory for your next desert-adventure.

Ergon SM E-Mountain saddle

There are some things people don’t want to talk about. Pain in the privates is one of them. To prevent discomfort in this sensitive area we recommend Ergon’s new SM E-Mountain saddle. Its large cutout prevents pressure points, numbness and discomfort. The raised rear-end of the saddle gives you more stability on the bike and allows you to sit in a more relaxed position on steep climbs. A completely legal tuning-feature for your bike — and you don’t even need a prescription.

Trickstuff Downhill Disc rotors

Sometimes more is just more! This applies both to your after-ride pizza and the braking-power on challenging downhill sections. A powerful brake is essential, especially on heavier eMTBs. Trickstuff achieves maximum performance by using larger 223 mm rotors. The huge surface makes overheating almost impossible and increases the braking power to an incredible extent. However, with the € 99 price tag you might burn through some cash. At least the rotors will do double-duty as a pizza plate!
