🚨 New product alert! 🚨
Anyone who's been keeping up with MTB trends will know that brakes are getting more and more powerful, and we think it's gone too far. That's why we've created Brake Butter, the world's first MTB-specific brake lubricant!

Applied directly to your rotors, Brake Butter will reduce brake grab and increase modulation, all without sacrificing lever force. Compatible with all makes of brake pads and rotors, this one's available for a very limited time so be sure to grab yours today.

*A note for those visiting our page from outside NZ, please ensure you only read this post on the morning of April 1 in your respective time zone 🤙

Whakarewarewa is where we cut our teeth mountain biking - we've had our fair share of crashes over the years and know first-hand just how incredible the first response team are!

Not only do these stem caps keep the emergency number front-and-centre on your bike, but they also help keep the first response team running; we've teamed up with the RMTBC on this one so half of every sale goes directly to the club.

Head over to our website to grab yours - see our bio for the link.

"It's a great bit of kit, if a little niche, but it does work in many situations, from multi-day gravel epics to Alpine enduro adventures or uplift days. I'd also be tempted to keep it as part of my van tool kit, as it's perfect for sorting those niggly brake issues you often find just before setting off on a ride or for that one riding buddy that hasn't sorted their brakes pre-ride."

The latest tool from Neutron means you can now bleed your brakes anywhere, potentially saving your bikepacking epic or enduro week in the Alps

"It's well thought out, it's useful... I'd say good job!"
Seth's not one to beat around the bush - we'd describe him as the Gordon Ramsay of bike reviews (minus the profanity). So to get a review like this from the man himself is pretty damn cool! You can find the full video over at Berm Peak Express:

We back!

While we've been out in the sticks we've been brainstorming ways to reduce our impact, and have come up with a really easy one to kick things off. When you buy our products online you'll now have the option to ship without the usual retail packaging, which means less waste going directly into the landfill.

We're also glad to announce that we've got bleed kits back in stock - there's been a growing wait list for these little kits so if you've been hanging out to get your hands on one then head over to our online store to pick one up.

We're heading out into the backcountry for a couple of weeks under the pretence of "R&D". We're still taking orders through our store at AscendOutdoors.co.nz but will ship them when we get back into the office on the 22nd May.

We've also got some good news: our next batch of bleed kits is almost ready! We're just finishing off the laser engraving so all going well will have them ready to order again in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more updates!

"I think the main selling point is its portability and simplicity. You don’t need to have any experience with brake bleeds to understand how the kit works, and there’s a good chance it will remove some unwanted squish from your lever."

If you're looking for an in-depth, independent review for our new Emergency Bleed Kit then you might be interested in the write-up that's just dropped over at Bikepacking.com. Hit the link below to read the full article - there's even a step-by-step video with a few pro tips to get the most out of your kit 🎬

Neutron Components Emergency Brake Bleed Kit is a nifty lightweight bleed system for on-the-go hydraulic brake tune-ups. Here's our review

About time for a new product? We were getting tired of squishy stoppers out in the backcountry so set about making this emergency bleed kit. Designed for trail-side lever bleeds, this lightweight and ultra-portable bleed kit is small enough to throw in your hip-pack, SWAT-box, or back pocket, but holds enough fluid to completely fill a couple of brake levers and still have some left over.

We've got exciting news! You may have noticed we've been pretty quiet on the socials lately, and there's a good reason for that - we’ve been in discussion with a number of small manufacturers from around the world to create a new platform for Kiwi riders to access a wider range of parts and accessories.

The result of all of this is that we’re splitting our online store into a new site: Ascend.

Neutron Components is still designing, still testing, and still producing all the products you know and love, the only difference is that you can now order through a dedicated online store. Hit the link below to check it out:
