After every tour: bike maintenance is a must! A clean bike not only rides faster, but also significantly reduces wear and tear. TOUR magazine has tested twelve bike cleaners. Here are the top 3.
We tested a total of 12 bike cleaners. The test results of our twelve candidates varied greatly and ranged from "Very good" to "Sufficient". The most important criterion was cleaning power. Here, too, there were major differences.
The three best bike cleaners at a glance
3rd place: Motorex Bike Clean
- Price: 13,95 Euro >> available here at a reduced price
- Note: 1,6
- Conclusion: Slim bottle, ergonomic spray head, adjustable nozzle, good spray pattern and good adhesion; the cleaning power is convincing, leaves little residue on aluminium, powder coating and polycarbonate; the bottle is made from recycled material
2nd place: Sonax Bike Cleaner
- Price: 15 Euro >> available here
- Note: 1,6
- Conclusion: One of the few cleaners in the test that has its strengths in dissolving grease and is very gentle on materials; the slim bottle supports good handling thanks to the ergonomic handle; the gel-like agent can be dosed well, but does not always hit the dirt accurately
1st place: Dr Wack F100 bicycle cleaner
- Price: 18 Euro >> available here at a reduced price
- Note: 1,3
- Conclusion: Bulbous bottle with low centre of gravity presses slightly into the crook of the thumb over time, otherwise handling is very good in terms of dosage and spray pattern; dissolves standard dirt quickly and completely and offers top cleaning performance with the best material compatibility
