Squirt Cycling Products, a leading manufacturer of high-quality bike care products, is pleased to announce its continued partnership with the Epic Global MTB Series in 2025 and 2026.
The Epic Series is a portfolio of the world’s most exhilarating and rewarding, premium mountain bike stage races. Each race is a chapter in a journey that culminates in the ultimate proving ground of man and machine: Africa and the Absa Cape Epic. Teams of two take on the famed trails across the races in the Epic Series, set against iconic backdrops, ready for the brave in you.
Squirt Cycling Products has been involved with the Epic Series since 2010 through their partnership with FNB Wines2Whales. In 2018, Squirt Cycling Products increased their involvement in the Epic Series by partnering with the Swiss Epic. The partnership was extended to the series’ premier event, the Absa Cape Epic, in 2019, and to all events in 2022.
Squirt Cycling Products’ acclaimed wax-base Squirt Chain Lube, Biodegradable Bike Cleaner, Squirt SEAL Tyre Sealant, and Squirt Barrier Balm have long been a favourite of mountain bikers across the world thanks to the brand’s distribution in 42 countries, sustainable approach to production, and it’s proven history of success. All products are manufactured with the environment in mind, ensuring that the excellent performance of their consumables is not achieved at a negative cost to the earth.
“Squirt Cycling Products is excited to once again be the Official Bicycle Care Product supplier for the 2025 & 2026 Absa Cape Epic and Epic Global Series,” explained Danie Van Wyk, Marketing Director of Squirt Cycling Products. “We will be providing premium-quality, biodegradable products in line with our and the Epic Series’ ethos of sustainability and care for the communities and environment we play in.
As the official Bicycle Care Product supplier for the Epic Global Series, Squirt Cycling Products will offer complimentary bike washes after each stage, pre- and mid-stage chain lube stations to keep drivetrains running smooth, and Barrier Balm samples to competing teams at all the events.
During the 2024 Absa Cape Epic, a whopping 4,562 litres of Squirt Biodegradable Bike Cleaner was used to keep machines clean, and 1032 bottles of Squirt Chain Lube were applied at water points alone.
The Epic Series races take place in the most iconic regions that the world has to offer. The Epic series events strive to leave the trails and regions in as perfect condition as before the event arrived. Squirt Cycling Products’ dedication to recyclable and reusable packaging and the fact that products are all biodegradable aligns perfectly with the Epic Series mission of offering world-class experiences with little to no negative impact on the environment.
“We are really happy to extend our global partnership with Squirt Cycling Products for another 2 years,” says Jonathan Meintjes, Head of Mountain Biking EMEA at The IRONMAN Group. “Squirt’s high-quality products have been tested in the harshest conditions, especially during the Epic Series, and never fail to deliver. The products add significant value to our rider experience and Squirt’s extensive distribution network means products are widely available for those that come to love and trust Squirt Cycling Products.”
