Oxford degreaser £8.99

www.oxfordproducts.com

THE CLAIM “Mint Degreaser is a robust formulation which is effective at dissolving and washing away grease and oily residues that have built up.” THE REALITY If you have a build-up of oil or grease, this is an excellent way to get rid of it. It doesn’t evaporate too fast, so apply, allow to soak in, apply again, agitate then rinse off with water. It removed months of built-up under-engine protectant on our long-term test Himalayan in moments and left the bike looking spick and span.

MCC Warrior Balm £6.60

www.motorbikers.cc THE CLAIM “Warrior Balm is our numberone best-selling product, a comforting balm that can be used as often as required.” THE REALITY This muscle-soothing balm from Motorbikers

Cosmetics Company uses natural ingredients and is a gentle way to gradually help relieve sore muscles. It’s not as aggressive — or effective — as other proprietary products so may need to be used more frequently, as it was when we tested it. However, it is natural, veganfriendly and not expensive.

Two Tyres digital pressure gauge £23.95 (sale price £19.95)

www.twotyres.co.uk

THE CLAIM “A tyre pressure gauge specifically for motorcyclists. Made with a head that’s easy to get on and off the valve for accurate readings. Rugged, weatherproof construction and built using quality components. It’s the exact gauge we use every day in our workshop and it comes with our three-year guarantee.”

THE REALITY So far, this has proved to be excellent. The display is switchable between bar and psi, is back-lit and it powers down after 40 seconds of no use. It reads identical pressures to our Best Buy-winning Venhill gauge but is easier to locate on the valve without air loss.
