Held strong over rock gardens, mud pits, and descents. No bottles dropped, and quick grab/return mid-race = ✅

Secure feel for juniors during long races. Some riders suggested a softer compound to reduce fatigue on 1hr+ courses — great feedback for future development!

I really like the sleekness of the multitool and its packaging. The tool is clearly built with a good and strong material and does not bend or flex even with high torque usage. The tools provided are intuitive and rational with regards to bicycle usage. All the tools are common requirements for bike adjustments and I havent found myself searching for more. Although I would appreciate a longer tool to be able to use more easily, but the relatively short nature of the tool does allow it to be extremely thin and sleek which is perfect for on the bike uses.

• Outperformed in dusty, dry

   conditions with water crossings
• Competitors had dry chains in 

   2–3 laps - ours stayed smooth 

   ‘til the end
• Fast cleaning + easy

   reapplication = mechanic’s

Every bike in the team ran Skiwiki brake pads, including:
• Afan – Men’s Elite MTB &

  Gravel Champ 🥇
• Shimano MT200 (MTB)
• SRAM Rival (Gravel)
• Other riders on Magura MT8

  SL brakes ran SRAM-specific

  pads with excellent results.

​

✅ Initial bite was stronger than Magura’s race pads
✅ Better modulation without grabby feel
✅ Stayed quiet through water & mud crossings
✅ Handled long descents with less heat buildup
✅ Regained power quickly after splashes — unlike OEM pads that squeal

Initially I was not particularly impressed with the quality of the bottles, however they have impressed me with its intuitive design and ease of cleaning. The nozzle is surprisingly easy to clean and provides an easy and sufficient flow of water. The size is a universal standard and acceptable. I would say that the bottles do not ‘feel pro’ or extremely premium in feeling, however as a practical point of view, they look well and easy to use.

​12 bikes fully washed in 30 minutes post-XCO and race-ready for Gravel. Helped us beat the ferry deadline and show up fresh for Day 2!

The skwiki bartape has been extremely pleasant. It has been comfortable and grippy and has not worn out largely even with heavy riding. The highlight would be the lack of odour as the bartape has not smell as compared to other bartapes that have smelled relatively quickly.

The degreaser is quite effective. I have used other degreasers and this works well without an extreme chemical feel. The cleaner is effective and able to clean remove dirt effectively.
