PRODUCT NEWS Putoline Ultracool 12 coolant BEST known for its line of motorcycle-specific oils, Putoline has now created an engine coolant – Ultracool 12, which it claims “provides optimal protection to vulnerable and valuable motorcycle parts.” The company states that Ultracool 12 protects components such as the radiator, water pump, cylinders and seals due to it containing patented OAT (Organic Acid Technology). The product is said to be resistant to aging and can therefore be used for the entire life span of the engine. Because of the longterm usability of the product, it is less damaging to the environment compared to conventional coolants. Putoline says Ultracool 12 is suitable for cooling systems made of aluminium, aluminium alloys and magnesium alloys and is also very well suited for conventional cooling systems, and is particularly suitable for two-wheeled vehicles from the Piaggio group. Ultracool 12 is available in 1-, 20-, 60- and 200-litre packaging.

CNC machined from aluminium, the extension doubles the footprint of the stand. It can also be used with the company’s side stand lengthener, which makes the side stand 20mm longer. Once installed the lengthener makes the GS stand more upright, which is useful when the bike is heavily laden with luggage.
