The Red Bull Rampage isn’t just a freeride mountain biking competition — it’s a celebration of controlled chaos. Riders launch off cliffs, tear down rock faces, and kick up dirt at every turn. It’s a raw, unfiltered spectacle of human and machine versus terrain.
And here’s the thing — that level of dirt, dust, and destruction? We live for it.
At Duck Smart, we know that pushing boundaries means getting messy. Whether you’re on two wheels, four wheels, or hitting the trails on foot, performance leaves its mark. But when the ride is over, your gear — like your pride — deserves to be cleaned up the right way.
🧽 The Aftermath Matters
Watching Rampage, you can almost feel the grit in your teeth. Those bikes? They don’t just get scratched — they get caked in red desert dust, brake fluid, and sweat. The riders’ kits? Shredded and stained. Sound familiar?
That’s where Duck Smart steps in.
We’re here for the post-adventure reset — when the adrenaline fades and the maintenance begins. Our cleaners aren’t just about making things “look nice” — they’re formulated to handle real use, real dirt, and real consequences.
From Earth Mover for the bikes, to Kit Clean for clothing, to Bullit for shine and protection, Duck Smart is built for riders who go hard and clean smart.
🚴 Inspired by the Ride
Rampage inspires us — not just because it’s thrilling, but because it reminds us why we do what we do.
We make products for riders who send it.
For gear that gets punished.
For machines that live outside the garage.
So the next time you tear it up — whether it’s on the side of a Utah cliff or your local trails — just remember: the dirt may stay on the track, but the shine stays with you.
Duck Smart x Dirt Culture
We don’t just clean dirt. We respect it, we ride through it, and we make sure it never wins.
Let’s face it — your drivetrain’s been through the wringer. Whether you’ve been smashing trails, dodging puddles, or grinding out a gravel epic, your chain, cassette, and rings are now home to a glorious cocktail of mud, grease, and mystery grit.
It’s time for a deep clean — and there’s only one thing brave enough to take it on: Black Stuff.
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill degreaser. This is high-performance, gel-based grime-fighting science, whipped up by our in-house chemist with one job in mind — melt the muck.
🧪 What Is Black Stuff?
Black Stuff is Duck Smart’s gel-based degreasing beast. It clings like a koala and cuts through grease like a hot knife through a stick of muddy, chain-lubed butter.
Unlike runny degreasers that dribble off the moment you spray, Black Stuffsticks to the scene of the crime, soaking deep into chain links, cassettes, and hard-to-reach places. Translation? It works smarter, longer, and harder — so you don’t have to.
🛠 How to Use Black Stuff Without Breaking a Sweat
Step 1: Get Generous. Grab a brush and go full Jackson Pollock on your cassette and drivetrain. Splash it on. Work it in. Don’t be shy — this is the moment Black Stuff lives for.
Step 2: Lube It Like You Mean It. Apply Black Stuff just like you would chain lube — a steady bead right along the centre of the chain. Full coverage = full clean.
Step 3: Chill. Literally. Let the gel do its thing for 3–5 minutes. Perfect time to put the kettle on, have a biscuit, or ponder how your bike got this filthy in the first place.
Step 4: Scrub-a-Dub. Hit your cassette, chainrings, and chain with a stiff brush. Don’t hold back — Black Stuff has softened the grime, now it’s your turn to send it packing.
Step 5: Hose Down the Havoc. Rinse thoroughly with water. A garden hose works wonders. Watch the gunk slide off like it was never there.
Pro Tip: Follow up with our Earth Mover Foaming Bike Cleaner to leave your entire bike shining and trail-ready. (It smells better, too.)
