Traditionally, you would do this with a chamois leather or a microfibre cloth but the issue here is that on a motorcycle, much more so than say a car, there are stacks of nooks and crannies where water can lurk and at best, leave marks and worst, begin attacking the bike’s finishes. It's not noisy in itself but I wear plugs (or listen to music) as when you go over the bike the noise generated is a little unpleasant for me, rather like the over-loud hand dryers in WCs!

Protection from current buffers ensures the dryer will not discharge any impulse current when start working.

So what ever is floating around such as dust and grit particle, it ends up being distributed over the bike. It comes with a couple of soft nozzles – so you don’t damage the bike if you happen to catch it with the nozzle – with one offering a wider spread and the other, a more narrow but concentrated blast of air. This bit of kit was low down on my priority list but having used it, I'm blown away (pun intended) by how effective it is.

We test motorcycles and related products for manufacturers, ride all year round and generally spend as much time as possible doing anything motorcycle related.

The air coming out through the nozzle is lovely and warm without being hot enough to endanger the paintwork or the plastics. After having my bike cleaned and covered in ACF50 a few years ago, I decided I needed a motorcycle dryer after witnessing the amount of water that Trevor from AllYearBiker was blowing out of the nooks crannies and switchgear. Blowing hot air at speeds of up to 80 metres-a-second, Brühl Power Dryers don’t just take the hard work out of drying bikes, they remove moisture from areas that can’t be reached with a chamois or microfibre cloth.

People who already own the Air Force Blaster will find the SideKick is a great substitute when traveling.

I wish I'd had this when I owned my R nineT, as it would have made short work of clearing the air cooling fins on the boxer engine.Should come with a pair of safety goggles, as water is propelled at rocket-speed velocity off the bike. There was warmth too which I’d been worried about since the 2800 doesn’t have the separate heater but it was plenty warm to do the job. It is a hand-held blower – as opposed to one that uses a large main motor and fan unit and a flexible hose to the outlet nozzle – and despite it’s hefty weight, isn’t ungainly to use. Fantastic bit of kit for drying motorcycles after cleaning - removes excess hidden water very easily which helps to reduce the risk of corrosion and issue with electrical contacts. blow force is 3 times stronger than similar dryers 10% greater airflow than other single-stage dryers and help remove water from the fur efficiently.
