Hundreds of kilometres of hard riding in the untamed wilderness under the blazing sun will take its toll on any athlete, which means preparation will be the key to success. That\u2019s why we\u2019re super stoked to be the Official Bike Care Sponsor for the event. Keeping your bike well-maintained is crucial for top performance, so we\u2019ll be making our range of products available to all athletes throughout the race. We can\u2019t wait!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Muc-Off has been at the forefront of bicycle cleaning for over 20 years after launching in 1994 with its revolutionary pink Nano Tech Bike Cleaner. Since then, the company has grown its product range to over 150 products, including catering for the motorcycle and automotive industries. Muc-Off is also partnered with some of the world\u2019s top two-wheeled athletes, including Atherton Racing, Team Sky and Danny MacAskill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eight days of dust and mud make the Absa Cape Epic the ultimate test for a mountain bike \u2013 and keeping it clean and working efficiently.
