Fuchs Silkolene continue partnership with Scott Beaumont

Posted on by

FUCHS Silkolene has announced its continued support for Scott Beaumont and Danny Butler.

The manufacturer of cycle oils will continue to Scott Beaumont and Danny Butler throughout 2018, maintaining its long and established relationship with both riders.

Head of FUCHS Silkolene Joost van Genderen commented: “We’re delighted to confirm our support for these two top athletes throughout the year ahead. Scott Beaumont has already had a long and successful race career and remains top of his sport, while Danny Butler has had great success with his Extreme Mountain Bike Show, which travels the length and breadth of the UK, performing in front of thousands.

“We are proud that both Scott and Danny use our cycling oils and maintenance range. This is further proof that these high-end products are capable of performing at the very top of sport, as well as for everyday cyclists.”

Beaumont has won over 55 National 4X races in the past eight years, making him the most successful UK National rider in mountain bike history. He added: “With the support of FUCHS Silkolene, 2018 is shaping up to be a fantastic year as we aim to fulfil our high expectations on the race track.

“In 4X, thousandths of a second are what matters and knowing that my bike is running perfectly using the best lubricants and cleaners on the market means I can get the maximum out of my bike.

“I can’t thank FUCHS Silkolene enough. Their products are the best available and I’m looking forward to giving them plenty of podiums throughout 2018.”

Five-times British and European Trials champion Danny Butler has partnered with FUCHS Silkolene since 2007 and is looking forward to another busy year as he takes his mountain bike stunt show to lives events right across the UK: “Being part of the FUCHS Silkolene brand is hugely important to me,” he commented.

“Like any tradesmen, my tools are precious. My bike is obviously the most important instrument that I have so I would only use the very best oils on it. The FUCHS Silkolene range has never let me down and keeps my bike working at its optimum level. I know that this year is going to be very special and everyone should watch this space.”

The FUCHS Silkolene bicycle portfolio includes Wet, Dry and Everyday chain lubes as well as suspension fork oils, cleaners and greases.

DATATAG SUPPORT SCOTT BEAMONT IN BID TO WIN 9TH 4X NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Datatag ID, arguably Britain’s most trusted security marking company, has signed up to support National MTB legend and current World ranked No.4 Scott ‘BOOMBOOM’ Beaumont in his bid to win his 9th National 4x title this year.

Scott, who has been competing and winning since the age of 4, who went on to win his first BMX World Championship title in 1995, will be aiming to cement his place in the MTB Hall of Fame he was awarded in 2014 with yet another British title win in 2018.

Scott said ‘Its great to have the guys from Datatag on board this year. Bike theft is a serious issue in my world and just knowing my bikes are better protected by fitting a Datatag system gives me peace of mind so I can concentrate on the job of winning.’

Datatag’s Cycle PRO system fitted to all of Scots bikes incorporates an array of security marking features including invisible UV etching to protect frame and forks, hundreds of microscopic Datadots to protect valuable components and a visible tamper evident warning label with QR code linked back to Datatag’s secure database and 24/7 international contact centre. The combination of this layered approach and the fact that the system requires no specialist tools to identify a bike at the roadside means it’s a real headache for thieves and a godsend to the Police.

Kevin Howells Datatag CEO said ‘We’ve known Scott for a long time and decided to join his team to help protect his machines of course but to also spread the message that there is something you can do to help beat the bike thieves and it’s as simple as providing an indelible security mark to your bike. Our technologies, which are easily fitted by customers, are used in many other industries and have a proven track record in deterring theft.’

Datatag Cycle PRO system is a low cost one off payment which provides a lifetime’s protection for your bike and can be easily transferred into a new owners name should you sell your machine.

Available through many independent bike shops and on line.
