HOLMENKOL brings out new bike care series
23.01.2020The year-round partner for athletes develops care products for bicycles
Ski tourers, cross-country skiers, skiers: They do not simply stop being active in nature once winter has come to an end. They continue to seek the outdoor experience and many of them switch over from skis to a racing or mountain bike. HOLMENKOL is the right partner for all of them. As a ski wax manufacturer, the company helps both recreational athletes and professionals in the snow with a wide range of products. In addition, HOLMENKOL now presents a new collection with care products for bicycles. So that a cyclist can concentrate on what is most important: experiencing nature.
HOLMENKOL is the oldest ski wax manufacturer in the world, a proven expert in its field, setting standards with its products – and providing top performance for professional and recreational athletes. And HOLMENKOL is so much more than that. “We are not just for winter sport, above all we are for sport”, says Timo Fleischmann, Business Director Sales & Brand. “We live for movement in nature.” Winter and summer, autumn and spring. The company is now presenting a new line for racing cyclists and mountain bikers, with everything you will need to give your bike the right care.
The effective cleaner for the bike, its drive, and the brakes
Dust, oil and dirt – with Natural Bike Wash nothing sticks to the bicycle that does not belong there or that could under certain circumstances even reduce its service life. After spraying, this high-performance cleaner grips the dirt like “sticky claws” and loosens it. It is suitable for all frame materials and paints, as well as for e-bikes. A special bonus: Natural Bike Wash is bio-degradable. This is ideally complemented by Bike Protector. This non-stick coating keeps away dirt and water. This way the frame not only stays cleaner for longer but is also protected. Just spray and ride.
HOLMENKOL has developed the Multi Cleaner specially for the drive. It cleans and de-greases all metal parts, such as the chain and sprocket wheel. It loosens even stubborn dirt in slots. It is also impressively easy to use.
The brakes require special care. The Disc Brake Cleaner from HOLMENKOL loosens all brake dust and dirt from the discs, thus ensuring optimal brake effectiveness – a decisive contribution to safety. This cleaner does not harm surfaces or rubber seals.
Excellent chain care thanks to high-tech lubricant and wax
Rain, dirt, heat: The chain is subjected to many external influences that place a massive strain on it – and which can over time make cycling considerably less fun. Lubricants help but can often cause a particular problem. Unless the chain is thoroughly cleaned beforehand, conventional lubricants bind the dirt, thus increasing wear – Performance Lube from HOLMENKOL is very different. This high-tech lubricant for all weather conditions only forms a deposit on the surface. A special technology smoothes out unevennesses on the chain, massively reducing friction. As a result, the switching operations work substantially more accurately. This not only makes riding more fun but also increases the chain’s service life.
Chain Wax provides additional care. This wax-based dry lubricant leaves no greasy lubricating film behind, and protects the chain and all drive parts. Chain Wax is suitable for dry and dusty conditions.
The spray for protection and fun
For the perfect bike experience you need shocks and suspension forks that react optimally. The Suspension Spray takes care of this. It cleans and cares for all the associated elements together with the sealing rings, thus increasing their responding qualities.
