Wanna sample the MX GP treatment at one of your meetings? Well now's your chance!

After the massive success of last years MX GP treatment competition, we have opened entries to the 2014 version with extra surprises, freebies and support in what was already a full on prize.

The 2013 competition was won by 8 year old James Day who rocked up to his EASSC Two day event at Wakes Colne only to find a crew of people and a huge pit set up, ready to support, clean, coach and prep for him over the weekend.

On top of good luck messages from a host of Off Road celebrities, James received kit and goodies from Rip N Roll, Bolddog, Thor, Bel-Ray, Defcon5, Torc1, Risk Racing, race support and coaching from Gary Linge from the renowned LTA Academy, and of course Duck Smart, who as you would expect also cleaned his bike and kit with their range of products over the weekend so he went to the line looking immaculate each time. On top of that young James also went to the line with his very own brolley girls much to the delight of his competitors Dads as well as the other EASSC racers.

The 2014 competition is now open and if you would like to sample what it is like to live the MX GP high-life all you have to do is send an email to GPCOMP@DUCKSMART.CO.UK with your name, age, what and where your ride and why you think you should win by the 11th of April.

Anyone can enter as long as they race some sort of Motocross so it can be, Minibikes, Quads, Sidecars, EVO, Twin-shock, Youth..................
So get yourself entered!

Team Green set to shine with Ducksmart!

After some injury set backs during the Arenacross UK tour, the Team Green Kawasaki UK line up of Dylan Woodcock (Big Wheel 85), Jed Etchells (Big Wheel 85) and Lewis Hall (Small Wheel 85) are now gearing towards championship success outdoor and looking to shine in 2014.

So too will their KX85 weapons of choice after Team Green and Duck Smart cleaning products agreed a sponsor partnership for 2014. Team manager Jeff Perrett and Paul Oughton from Ducksmart finalised the deal at last year's International Dirt Bike show that will see all of the Team Green riders use 

Ducksmart’s extensive range of cleaning products for motorcycles and clothing.

It’s yet another cool, young brand for Team Green to have on board and understandably the team are delighted as Jeff explains; “As far as proactive companies go in UK motocross Duck Smart have been one that has caught our eye over the past couple of years. Their products are superb and are definitely going to make our life easier in keeping everything look sharp, which of course is a huge part of running a high profile team and growing it. We have brilliant support from Monster Energy and brands like Thor, Maxxis, Motorex and many more, all of which are huge brands and it has to look right. Duck Smart products are going to help us present the right image and we’re thankful and really appreciate their involvement with Team Green. We’re also looking forward to working with them on developing their products further.”

Paul Oughton is equally as pleased as he sees the direction that Team Green is heading. "Having worked with young Dylan before we have kept a keen eye on how Team Green has been developing and there is so much enthusiasm about the team, and such an impressive set up which we can only see growing in the future. The lads are a great bunch, and under the watchful eye of master Perrett I think the profile of the team is going to be huge and we are very proud to be part of it and help to keep both bikes and riders immaculate every time they race with our range of products. As with all of our partners, we like to work closely with them so we are also looking forward to working on the Next Generation of our cleaning products with Team Green in 2014 and into the future”.

An experiment on Duck Smart's Kit clean!

With its optical brighteners and unique little Duck Pad our Kit Clean Micro Kit has proved hugely popular since its launch as a Micro Kit last year.

So we put it to the test at the Red Bull Pro Nationals on our ground in and stained Wash Bay Karcher banners with months of dirt, grime and grease in them.  Watch the vid on the right to see the results.

Kit cleans uses are pretty varied but include, race shirts, race trousers, helmet linings, goggle straps, boots, gloves.... basically the optical brighteners and detergents in it bring out the colours and combat stains.



Here's how it works on your race kit!

Duck Smart and Mahi Kawasaki to bling up the Supersport grid!

One of our favourite team's to work with in 2013, and who we are glad to be back with in 2014, are the guys from the Mahi Kawsaki Racing team who strut their stuff all over the globe in the World Supersport Championships.
Turkish racer Kenan Sofuoglu pushed eventual champion Sam Lowes all of the way to the title last season coming 2nd in the series, with Mahi team mate Fabien Foret 3rd, but in 2014 you can be sure they are looking to land the top spot of the podium.
Although a well honed, fully focussed, professional racing team the Mahi team are an awesome bunch to work with, even getting in on the act on the #duckfaceselfies.  On top of that they give us honest and professional feedback on all of our products and found uses for them that we didn't realise existed.
Such is our great relationship with them we have teamed up on an awesome comp which is being launched very shortly so keep your eyes out as this is something you are darn sure you are going to wanna win!
Below is the PR from our friends at Mahi!

Mahi Kawasaki Racing are once again teaming up with Duck Smart to bring you the shiniest bikes on the 2014 World Superbike grid!
Duck Smart produce a growing range of innovative, foaming and sweet smelling cleaning products, which are all manufactured, bottled and labelled in house at their HQ in Essex. Some of the team’s favourites include the famous Earth Mover Bike Cleaner, Smart N Ezee detailer, Rim Bling wheel cleaner and Wagon Wash vehicle cleaner. All of their products are non caustic, PH Neutral and biodegradable and have proved popular with our riders and mechanics alike with the Duck Smart team being helpful and hands on when it comes to coming up with cleaning solutions for the bikes and transport vehicles.

The team are carrying out the final preparation on the bikes (with the help of Duck Smart, of course!) before loading up the flight crates. Anticipation is building for the Official SBK Test and the season opener at Phillip Island on the 23rd February. After a positive Portimao Test, both riders and the crew are quietly confident about the forthcoming trip down under.

Launching Bike Ezee, our all new Waterless Bike Cleaner!


It's been a little while in coming but we are stoked to announce that our brand new product Bike Ezee is now available on both our webshop and for dealers via our Distributors Madison.

You can throw any phrase you want at Bike Ezee but a few that do the job are, Waterless Bike Cleaner, a drywash, cycle detailer, protect and shine......

Bike Ezee removes light dirt, grease, grime and dust and is perfect for the roadie and urban cyclists, or those who like to give their bike an extra zap of shine after they have used Earth Mover to wash their mud caked cycle.

It uses a pretty simple process of spray on and wipe off with a Micro Fibre cloth, and as well as giving your bike an almighty shine it also gives your frame a protective water repelling coat.

It couldn't go without one of the famous Duck Smart smells so after testing many scents with the best noses in the industry, Bike Ezee has been given a Banana's and chocolate smell.

Also it contains no PTFE's so its safe to use on your disc brakes and any other parts of your bike.

So if you wanna go waterless when you next clean, give Bike Ezee a go.

Skyzone going for a British title clean sweep with new sponsors Duck Smart!

The British Championship winning Skyzone Supermoto race team will be lining up at the start grid with a new sponsor for 2014 in the forward thinking and creative team at Duck Smart cleaning products.
Chris Hodgson - Title winner

The people at Duck Smart are new to the Supermoto scene but are keen to support both, the Skyzone race team and the sport itself and showcase their innovative, foaming and sweet smelling range of cleaning products, including the now famous Earth Mover Bike Cleaner which have made such a huge impact in the Motocross scene in the last couple of years. All of their products are bottled, labeled and produced in house at their HQ in Benfleet, Essex and with their own chemist constantly working on new products the range doesn't look to stop growing anytime soon.

Duck Smart's Paul Oughton tells us more “We looked at the sport of Supermoto last year, and towards the end of 2013 we were approached by Chris Hodgson about doing something with his team. We were impressed by Chris and his professional approach. Alongside that we have followed the great TV Coverage of the British Championships, which really reflects the speed and skill of these guys, and one thing is for certain they don't like to back off when it gets tight. The team at Duck Smart are really looking forward to showcasing our range of products and creative approach on the bikes of the Sky zone race team. We are quite a hands on team so are also pumped to be working with Chris as he goes for another British Title and we look forward to working with the team to ensure their machines are immaculately presented at the race track and to further develop our product range with them.
Tom Ellam, one to watch

The sky zone race team will be running a 3 man team of current British Champion Chris Hodgson and Jay Smith on the KTM SMR 450 with young Tom Ellam on the KTM SMR 350.
They will be competing in the 9 round British championship, as well as looking to fly the flag for Great Britain in the European rounds.

Hodgson said of the forthcoming season and the partnership “I am really looking forward to the season. We have set our sights high and hopefully everything goes to plan. Its a real privilege to have the guys from Duck Smart on board and we look forward to working with them throughout the season.”
