With snow covering various parts of the UK at the moment winter is obviously here and for those of you who are out and about on two wheels (or three) during these cold months then the following selection of products are worth considering:

Motul Motocool Expert – An absolute must in preparing your bike for the winter! Without coolant in your water as temperatures drop below zero the water inside your engine freezes, as it freezes it expands which causes cylinders, crank cases and water pumps to crack leaving you with a very costly bill. Motocool Expert comes pre-mixed ready to pour straight into your radiator and will not freeze unless temperatures drop below -25°C. £5.10 per litre
