First, we knew Leatt for protection & shoes, then components; now they are expanding again into high-performance bike care products with this all-new GRiTT sub-brand. Included in the line-up is everything you’d expect from a bike care line-up. That includes chain lubes, drivetrain & frame cleaners, post-clean protective treatments, tubeless sealant, even riderwear care items like re-waterproofers and a helmet pad & protector cleaner. Gritt describes the majority of the cleaners as “truly biodegradable”. The entire line-up is PFAS-free. And curiously, pretty much everything is red and smells like cherries, even the tubeless sealant.

Leatt have protected riders for over 20 years. So, they say it’s time they started protecting your bike and riding gear, too. So their all-new Gritt high-performance bike care range endeavors to cover all the bases of cleaning, lubricating, and generally keeping your bikes (and motorbikes) running at the top of their game. And they aim to do that, all at affordable price points.

“Every GRiTT product has been rigorously tested in the lab, on a wide variety of bikes and motorcycles, and across multiple materials. Professional athletes have also put each formula through real-world conditions to guarantee performance you can trust. All products are safe for use on chrome, carbon, anodized metals and plastics.”

So what makes Gritt unique?

Besides the cherry scent to everything, Leatt & Gritt claim a few unique technologies and “advanced formulations” set them apart.

For their cleaning products, Gritt’s developed a ViscoClean formula, claimed to better cling to the surface being cleaned. Needing to be shaken-to-activate, they will flow “18 times slower than standard cleaners, allowing the liquid gel to work longer and more effectively” so you get better cleaning, less wasted cleaner.

Their standard spray-on cleaners are also TrueBio, meaning every ingredient is biodegradable, breaking down naturally, “leaving nothing harmful behind“. Then, ‘next-gen polymers’ in the post-wash products promise to add a “smart protective layer that helps water and dirt slide off more effectively“.

On the lubrication side, Gritt uses a “durable, exceptionally smooth & protective” Ceramic tech adding Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN). They say that “reduces wear by 70%”. The Ceramic tech also purports to reduce drivetrain noise, and ensure “longer-lasting smooth performance in all conditions”. Plus, it includes anti-corrosive additives to protect against rust long-term.

Bike Care Range – Overview

There’s really a wide range of new Gritt by Leatt bike and gear care product line-up. I count 5 different spray & 4 aerosol cleaners/degreasers, 4 post-wash treatments, 4 different ceramic bike chain lubes, 4 sealant sizes plus a sealant cleaner spray, 3 rain proofers, an anti-fog spray, and the helmet cleaning foam. And we haven’t had a chance to try out any of it yet.

So, let’s just take a sample of what’s on offer and how much it costs, for example…

GRiTT bike care – Pricing & availability

A liter of the True Bio spray Bike Wash sells for about $15 / £13 / 15€. The True Bio PowerFoam Bike Wash that you’d pair to your foaming pressure washer is $18 / £14 / 18€ for a liter. $20 / £18 / 20€ for a liter of the True Bio spray Chain Cleaner.

The 120ml True Bio Ceramic Chain Lube also sells for $15 / £13 / 15€, no matter the formula that fits your riding conditions – all weather, wet rides, dry conditions. The Ceramic Chain Wax is a bit more expensive at $17 / £15 / 17€ per 120ml bottle.

The complete new GRiTT by Leatt line-up is available globally, both directly from Leatt or Gritt in some markets, or via their wide range of online retailers and brick-and-mortar bike shop dealers. But the individual assortment in each channel seems to vary quite a bit, likely as this is all quite new at the moment.
