Year Round Coolant is a specially-formulated, pre-diluted, full-fill, low silicate coolant for aluminium motorcycle/ snowmobile/ ATV engines and radiators. For use in all machines with a water-cooling system, Year-Round is designed to prevent vapour-lock and corrosion, and can actually enhance your cooling system’s efficiency. Do not add water, as this is a ready-toadd, pre-diluted coolant. Non-corrosive, specially formulated for aluminum engines, Year-Round is phosphate-free and nonabrasive. Available in 946ml and 1.89L.
Tested by Tony Cairoli – MX World Champion. MW: The rebound stopper works during jumps, downhill and when hitting deep ruts or holes, helping the bike to stay close to the ground, so it helps you to make lower and longer jumps. ENDURO: When going downhill, especially on slippery terrain reduces rebound and increases traction during acceleration. SUPERMOTARD: Works really well while braking, while changing direction. It reduces motorcycle shake and it allows for improved control. Available for most Japanese MX bikes. KIWI RIDER 111

Pilot Road 2- the great all-rounder. The tyre chosen by discerning Kiwi touring riders who want traction and long life. The ideal balance - Independent tests confirm the Pilot Road 2 offers better wet grip and longer tread life than any of its
competitors. How did Michelin incorporate these two contradictory traits in one tyre? MotoGP-derived 2CT technology makes it possible, using two distinct rubber compounds to achieve what was once thought Impossible. 2CT tyres incorporate two distinct rubber types: a softer compound on the tread shoulders, and a harder, more durable compound in the centre of the tyre. 2CT makes it possible to fine-tune the tyre’s performance to a particular application. The harder compound in the centre of the tread improves durability (Pilot Road 2) and enhances acceleration and braking performance. The softer rubber on the tread shoulders maximizes cornering grip and safety. Available in all popular sizes.
