Pre-Rinse with the R18

Use the R18 to blast off loose dirt, dust, and mud. The retractable hose gives you full reach without the mess.

Pro Tip: Stay about 50cm back and avoid direct spray into bearings, electronics, or seals.

Foam it Up

Attach your BLAHST Foam Cannon and apply a layer of BLAHST Foam Wash. Let it dwell for a couple of minutes to break down grime - but don’t let it dry.

Agitate (Gently)

Use a soft brush or microfibre wash towels to clean high-contact areas—handlebars, wheels, chain guard, fairings. Be gentle around decals and painted areas.

Drying with the Air Maxx

Forget towels. Hit your ride with the Air Maxx Blower Dryer for a streak-free, contactless dry. It blows warm filtered air to get into all the nooks—under seats, radiators, crevices, spokes and suspension.

Bonus: Great for drying gear and helmets too.
