Glitter seat: SDG Bel-Air 3.0 Fuel saddle
Black on top, the Oilslick sticks to the bottom - and glitters! The Americans have revamped their long-running Bel-Air saddle. Slimmer, shorter and shaped to fit the modern geometries of today's enduro and trail bikes. Superhero Kyle Strait swears by the Bel-Air, naturally with Schiller linkage. Price: 110 €
Flimmerstummel: Stem NS Bikes Quantum Lite
The number 1 variable for a direct, lively riding experience? A short stem! Whether for enduro, trail bikes or dirt bikes. Why not this one? This work of art from Poland is cold-forged from aluminium. This makes it particularly robust. The NS has a 37 mm reach. Available for different handlebar tubes - but always glowing like a Santorini sunset. Downhillers can also get a direct mount in Oilslick for their double bridge. Price: from € 79.90 >> e.g. available here.
First aider: Supacaz Quikfix Multi-Tool
"Have you got a tool?" If you put the Quikfix in the hand of a bike colleague, there will be "ahs" and "oohs". Guaranteed! The Californian label is on a mission: to bring more sexiness to the sport of biking. The Oilslick tool wants to contribute to this. Price: 45 € >> e.g. available here.
Bead chain: SRAM XX1 Eagle Hollow Pin
What a brilliant idea: an Oilslick necklace! At last! No more tiresome oiling. The drivetrain always stays smooth and lubricated. Really? Unfortunately not. But still ultra chic! By the way: Last installs the 1x12 chain as standard in its high-end enduro Tarvo (test, page 93). Weight: 250 g. Price: 89 €.
Spanish rider: DMR Vault Lacon pedals
Rampage madman Andreu Lacondeguy chose the Vault as his signature pedal. Perhaps the Spaniard has read our test, because the Tresor pedal did really well. Of course, Andreu is not satisfied with the standard version. And since the motocross addict has petrol in his blood anyway, he wanted the Vault in Oilslick. Weight: 410 g. Price: 200 € >> e.g. available here.
Joystick: Handlebar Dartmoor Swing Low V.2
If you want to keep a constant eye on a pool of oil, then you need to fit a handlebar in Oilslick. The Dartmoor is designed to make enduro and gravity riders happy. However, it is available in a maximum width of 750 millimetres. That's too narrow for us. Price: 199 €
Decorative nipples: Supacaz valve caps
These things look like pistol ammunition that drug barons, warlords and celebrity rappers use to get round the corner: Bang bang with style, or bling bling to the bitter end. In reality, the pretty nipples are glamour caps for the bicycle valve. With these pieces of jewellery on your bike, you'll cut a fine figure even in Saint Tropez or St Moritz without looking underdressed. Our tip for economical pimping-up in oilslick style. Price: € 7.50 >> e.g. available here.
Stranglehold: Salt Seat Clamp
Clamp your Vario seatpost into the seat tube with this flimmer ring. It shimmers like a rainbow and soothes the eyes. Just make sure you have the right diameter. Price: 13 €
Easy pickings: Sram titanium bolts
They are light. They are stylish. And they clamp the brake discs securely to the wheels. Twelve M5 titanium bolts - they'll make your bike look better and put it on a diet at the same time. Price: 53 € >> e.g. available here.
