Muc-Off 5X Premium brush set review

These five brushes do a good job of getting the gunge out of every nook and cranny of your bike, from the space between the sprockets to the back of your brakes. The gentle Soft Washing Brush is kinder on your paintwork than a washing-up brush and the Claw Brush is useful for getting road crud out of your gears.

The rubber handles make them easy to grip and the edging around the heads stops them scraping your paint. It can be hard to get grease out of the fine bristles, though. Bought separately, they’d cost almost £24 and you wouldn’t get the useful mesh bag to keep them in.
