Bicycle tire lever test: The Muc-Off brand, which is known for bicycle and motorcycle care products, has long been pushing into other segments with its well thought-out products. A good example of this is the Muc-Off Rim Stix tire levers, which we were able to examine extensively in the test. The robust-looking levers are offered in a set of two in the colors black, pink or green.
General information about the manufacturer
Established in 1994, Muc-Off claims to be the fastest growing cycling lifestyle and maintenance brand in the UK. For almost three decades, the British have been protecting bicycles with their wide range of protective sprays and care products. The portfolio has recently been expanded with innovative products such as the Stealth Tubeless Tag Holder and the Bike Protection sticker series, which is intended to protect bicycle and e-bike frames from scratches, scrapes and stone chips.
Muc-Off Rim Stix tire levers: First impressions
The Muc-Off Rim Stix tire levers are based on a special POM/Nylon construction with an angular design and a non-slip surface. A recessed grip for the thumb was thought of here, as was lateral ribbing. The recess under the shovel is intended to ensure that the lever is securely fixed when working. The lever also features a spoke hook and an integrated valve core remover. A snap-together function is not explicitly available, but the supplied neoprene hose takes over this task.
The bicycle tire levers in the test
The bicycle tire lever from Muc-Off inspires from the very first second. Thanks to the ergonomic design with thumb recess and the rough surface, the lever sits securely in the hand. The shovel can easily be slid under the tire bead, the recess under the shovel keeps the lever securely in place. In combination with the extremely stable structure and the perfectly fixable tire hook, even stubborn tires quickly give up.
