Traditional ethylene glycol (EG) coolant is toxic (even deadly) to humans and animals if ingested, and is extremely environmentally unfriendly. To make things worse, domestic pets seem to love the taste of it. The problem is our bikes need something to prevent both coolant freeze and boil.
Would you be interested in a product that cools much more effectively than EG antifreeze with up to 50 degrees of additional cooling in high performance engines? What about one that is biodegradable and substantially less harmful to pets and humans? Now you’re interested, right?
CycleLogic Engine Ice High-Performance Motorcycle Coolant is the magic liquid that we are talking about here. Engine Ice does everything that traditional EG coolant does, only better. The ready-to-use coolant has a boiling point of 256 degrees Fahrenheit and a freezing point of -26 degrees. Instead of the poisonous ethylene glycol, Engine Ice uses propylene glycol. The propylene glycol is the base stock that gives the performance and safety benefits. The coolant is suitable for all liquid-cooled engines and is approved for AMA, CCS, and FUSA road racing applications.
So the question is - why doesn’t everyone use the stuff? Well, Engine Ice will cost you about 8 times more than conventional coolant. You will have to decide if the cost is worth the benefits. However, with a solid performance and safety upside, you may want to give Engine Ice a try at your next coolant change. It retails for about $20 per half-gallon.
