We’re back with a digest of some of the latest products to cross the deck at BWN headquarters. Muc-Off adds to their technical series, Tailwind brings back Dauwaltermelon, and more.

Muc-Off Expands Technical Offerings with Silky Suspension Serum

Muc-Off has announced the launch of Silky Suspension Serum, the second product in the brand’s new ‘Technical Series’, which follows the launch of the Ceramic Protection Kit late last year.

This silicone-infused serum is designed to significantly improve suspension performance. Silky Suspension Serum creates an ultra-low friction surface that boosts suspension performance, reduces dirt adhesion, and extends the life of componentry.

Following thousands of hours of testing and development at its in-house R&D centre, Muc-Off sent the serum for independent testing at FOX Factory. After three-months of testing, which included Mix Fluid, Fork, Shock, and Transfer SL part compatibility, and Shock Dyno testing, FOX certified Silky Suspension Serum a safe for use on its componentry. 

Enduro Pro-Level Tools Line Grows

Enduro Bearings’ product designers understand that a frame or hub can be ruined during bearing servicing, and that’s why they invest the same attention to detail in their tools as they do with their bearings and components. Look no further than Enduro Bearings Pro Tools to ensure your bike’s bearings are removed and installed accurately.

With 100+ purpose-built tools and tool accessories listed on their website, Enduro has everything you need to confidently tackle bearing maintenance at home or in the retail workshop. Whether the task is removing and installing bottom brackets, using the blind-hole bearing pullers for wheel hubs and suspension pivots, or tapping out a bearing with a size-specific punch, Enduro has you covered. If you made it to Sea Otter, you may have seen their latest innovations: the Linear Bearing Press and Zip-Nut.

The Linear Bearing Press toolkit is a game-changer at $299/suggested retail. This multiuse tool effortlessly removes and installs hub and suspension pivot bearings, saving you time and frustration. Made from high-quality stainless steel and premium anodized alloys, the Linear Bearing Press includes guides for all the common bearing sizes plus short and long handles to improve spin rates in tight places. A compression nut riding on a needle bearing paired with an ACME threaded rod ensures smooth, 90-degree bearing-to-bore alignment.

On the heels of introducing the Linear Bearing Press, Enduro is now offering their new Zip-Nut for $55/suggested retail. This accessory works with the Linear Bearing Press, allowing mechanics to quickly position the mating parts, eliminating the need to spin the handles the full length of the ACME threaded rod. It’s also compatible with Enduro’s BBT-005 bearing press. Once you’ve used a Zip-Nut, you’ll never want to spin, spin, spin a conventional compression nut again.

Tailwind Nutrition Brings Back Dauwaltermelon Endurance Fuel

Tailwind Nutrition is re-introducing its popular Endurance Fuel flavor, ‘Dauwaltermelon’, inspired by Tailwind Nutrition athlete and 2023’s Triple Crown-winning Ultrarunner, Courtney Dauwalter.

It provides a light, fruity watermelon taste with a hint of lime, that gives you everything you need so you can be in the moment, let your mind wander freely, forget about the miles and it has been known to induce those iconic Dauwalter smiles.

Tailwind’s Endurance Fuel products mix crystal clear with water and are designed to be used during training and racing, without upsetting the stomach. Dauwaltermelon with Lime is available in 50 and 30 serving bags (MSRP: $39.99/$28.99) as well as single serve stick packs.

Bluegrass has released new elbow and knee pads that offer better comfort, perfect stability, and more protection. The new range of knee pads is based on two levels of protection: Level 2 & Type B.
