Using safe formulas that are biodegradable and VOC free, French brand Motul recently released a range of cleaning, lubing and care products for your whip.

As official supplier to iconic motorsport events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Dakar Rally, Roof of Africa and MotoGP, Motul uses them to learn, innovate and develop new fluids. Now, Motul has applied their 170+ years of motoring industry experience, into developing a new Bike Care Range, suitable for all types of bicycles. Here’s a first look at the range.

When only a light clean is needed

Using Motul Dry Clean is as simple as spraying it on and then wiping clean.

Motul Dry Clean leaves a mild waterproof layer on the surface of your frame and major components that prevents dust and grime from building up.

For brake pads, rotors and calipers
