It is very important for Sprayke to test products in the most extreme conditions possible, which is why the basis of each product is a careful study and active collaboration with the best Italian mtb teams. The feedback from athletes and mechanics is the basis on which we develop our work of constant improvement of our products.
When we talk about mtb gravity we can’t help but think of those extreme disciplines where jumps, crazy speeds and a fine tuning of one’s bike can make the difference.
Team Tribe Hot Bike thanks to its experience and the presence of the best national athletes was the perfect choice for this 2024.

Dh and traditional mtb what changes in terms of maintenance?
Nothing in particular. Using competitive mtb’s must always be perfect so cleaning and lubrication is something we do on virtually every outing.
How important is tuning?
It is critical to ensure the perfect functioning of the mechanical means.
Particularly in the skill disciplines, the mind has to be free to focus only on the technical and athletic gesture. We spend a lot of time on tuning in the off season to be able to speed up tuning on the race course and have a good feel for getting to the result quickly since time is always limited.
How often do you maintain your mtb bikes?
Constantly, at every outing. During the race weekend maintenance is a continuous activity, even between shifts the bikes are cleaned, washed if necessary, checked and lubricated.
Everything has to be perfect.
What product do you use the most?
We use a little bit of all products actually because each one has its own specific function and importance.
Among those that cannot be missed I would say the Super Cleaner, to clean and/or the Pulisuper very useful for finishing or in the absence of water. The Suspension Lube to clean the suspension and ensure the best smoothness, a chain lubricant (Lube1 in particular) is very important. The Pulifren which is often needed to solve problems related to the functioning of the braking system.
