STEP 1 AND 2: CLEANING AND DEGREASING
The first step in cleaning the bike is cleaning the frame, and Motul has two cleaners for this: Frame Clean and Dry Clean. Frame Clean is a water-based cleaner with high dissolving power, which will allow you to remove the most resistant dirt such as sand, dust and mud. If you don't have an outdoor space to clean your bike, we recommend using Motul Dry Clean, a no-rinse frame cleaner that, after application, deposits a waterproof protective layer that prevents the accumulation of dust and dirt. After cleaning the bike frame, it's time to degrease the chain, discs and brake pads. To degrease the chain, use Chain Clean, a quick-drying, solvent-free cleaner that, in addition to effectively cleaning the chain, prevents the deterioration of non-ferrous materials present in this part of the transmission system. Secondly, to clean the brake pads and discs, use Brake Clean, a product that is also solvent-free and quick-drying, which will allow you to effectively remove dust, grease or tar to improve braking efficiency.

STEP 3 AND 4: LUBRICATION AND PREVENTION
After degreasing and drying the bike, it is time to lubricate both the chain and the rest of the mechanisms. To lubricate and protect the chain, use Motul Chain Lube Dry, if you are going to go out in dry conditions, or Chain Lube Wet, if you are going to make your next route in conditions of high humidity or mud / water. For the rest of the mechanisms, use EZ Lube, a multipurpose lubricant that after its application deposits a protective layer that will help prevent corrosion and seizing of the bike's parts. Remember that after lubrication, you must remove the excess product with a dry cloth to prevent dirt from adhering. Lastly, apply Tire Sealant tubeless tire sealant to prevent punctures. Motul Tire Sealant lasts up to 9 months.
