It has been a while since we rode our BMX bikes in the mud. We pick the clear days most of the time or ride indoors or on the asphalt pump track. It took a little while before we had an opportunity to test the Muc-Off power washer. Actually the first test was on some dirty shoes. Carnaval destroyed two pairs of Vans. They were ready for the trash, or maybe a power washer could save them. The Muc-Off power washer was easy to install. Power and Water, and ready to go in minutes. The pressure it created had no problems getting the dirt off the shoes in seconds and both pairs were saved from the trash.

BMX Racing does take place in bad weather conditions and we've been in situations in the past where we could have used a Muc-Off power washer so we didn't have to clean the bike in the puddle or nearby canal. The bike friendly Muc-Off cleaner is powerfull but does not destroy your sealed bearings or other movable parts. It gets the dirt off. If it doesn't get off right away, spray some Fast Action Bike Cleaner on the section and the job will get done. If this sounds like a big investment, think again.

The Bicycle Pressure Washer + 1L Nano Tech Cleaner will cost you €115,95. Cheaper than two pairs of new shoes. We will, in the future, test the Muc-Off washer some more after some dirt bike sessions, wet MTB trips, or when that BMX bike actually gets dirty.

MUC-OFF PRESSURE WASHER BICYCLE BUNDLE

Introducing the World's first pressure washer designed and built purely for cleaning both bicycles and motorcycles.

The Muc-Off Pressure Washer Bicycle Bundle includes all you need to get your bike back to that factory fresh look while also looking out for those delicate bearings, surfaces and suspension parts. Our pressure washer bundle features three lances to cater for specific cleaning needs, as well as a Snow Foam Lance to transform your bottle of Nano Tech Bike Cleaner into the ultimate dirt destroying snow foam.

A waterproof Dry Bag is also included, as well as a 1L bottle of Nano Tech Bike Cleaner - which can be attached to the snow foam lance. All you need is a power source and water supply and you'll be able to give your pride and joy the ultimate deep clean it deserves!

HOW IS THE MUC-OFF PRESSURE WASHER DIFFERERENT FROM OTHER PRESSURE WASHERS?

BICYCLE SPECIFIC LANCE

Our Bicycle Lance has been designed specifically to be bearing and suspension friendly. The lance creates a wider fan of water than a typical pressure washer lance. This means that there's less likelihood of causing any damage to delicate bearings, suspension components and paint finishes. Don't worry though, it's still plenty powerful enough to blast the mud off your steed.

SNOW FOAM LANCE

The adjustable Snow Foam Lance allows you to apply Muc-Off Bike Cleaner, Concentrate or Snow Foam onto the surface of the bike. You can simply screw any of these three bottles directly onto the Snow Foam Lance and you're ready to go. There's no need to mix with any additional water. The pressure washer will mix water and detergent automatically to the desired dilution you've set by adjusting the dial.

MUC-OFF

As we've explained, we would use the Muc-Off pressure washer for more things in life. Welcome to the dirt bike. It needs a wash practically after every session. These things need to shine every time you get to the track. The Muc-Off cleaner got tested and man, it only took 3 seconds for the bike to be completely covered in foam. It was hard to stop right here because it's just fun to do. But the 1 litre bottle doesn't last forever. After the foam treatment the bike got a wash and looked as new again. That was the goal and always is. Having that pink Muc-Off washer handy is great.
