“This started as a project to build the ultimate trail tool kit for my KTM 350 EXC. I wasn’t happy with multi-tools that are hard to use. I also found generic tool kits to be far too heavy and bulky to store on the bike, so I developed the Switchback to be the best of both worlds. It’s compact and lightweight but has tools that are very functional and easy to use. One of my favorite features is the collapsible T-handle, which offers the speed and utility of a shop tool,” said Matt Willson, vice president of product development.

• Developed for enduro and off-road motorcycles
• For trailside repairs and adjustments
• Compact at 2-by-2-by-7 inches
• Lightweight at only 1.7 pounds
• Professional-grade quality

Like all Cool Boss evaporative coolers, the CB-16 uses the power of evaporation to quickly reduce surrounding air temperature by up to 26 degrees Fahrenheit for less than a dollar a day. The portable CB-16 is easy to move around thanks to its space-saving design and oversize 4-inch swivel caster wheels. Once in place, just attach a standard garden hose or fill its portable water tank, plug it in, turn it on and start cooling. The cooler’s 60-gallon cold-water reservoir provides an almost non-stop supply of chilled air without constant refilling.

“Despite its compact size, the CB-16 packs a powerful punch, producing an incredible amount of air-pushing volume with a maximum area coverage of 2,480 square feet,” said Alexa Cruse, project coordinator. “This economical and environmentally friendly alternative to air conditioning gets you from steaming to smiling in minutes.”

As soon as the CB-16 is plugged into a 110-volt outlet, warm air is pulled into the back of the cooler and directed through a water-soaked Honeycool evaporative media pad that chills it instantly. Cool Boss’ unique Honeycool pads maximize water usage by as much as 30% when compared to other brands. The cold air is blasted out by a proprietary 16-inch Blue Flex axial flow fan that moves a high volume of air at low RPMs for the most effective, cost-saving performance. Airflow is directed through a venturi fan cone to concentrate the air velocity for a more powerful and directional blast of refreshing cooled air.

The optional Ducting Kit includes a 15-foot flexible, reinforced polyvinyl tube-shaped duct that straps to the front of the CB-16 cooler. It can be extended, curved and maneuvered as needed.

The CB-16 includes a variety of productivity-enhancing features, including LED floodlight, Bluetooth audio player, automatic water source shutoff, antibacterial housing made of durable high-density polyethylene (HDPE), remote control with convenient holder, extra-long 15-foot power cord and soft-touch LED controls.

The stackable portable cooler weighs 200 pounds, measures 41-by-34-by-59 inches, and its low sound level ranges from 75 to 100 decibels.

Because Cool Boss air coolers are not air conditioners, they don’t require expensive high‐amp compressor motors, environmentally toxic chemicals, refrigerants or permanent installation.

The Lift Kit is built for anyone who would be appreciative of a higher working height for the Dirt Bike Tire Changer. The Lift Kit raises the height of the Dirt Bike Tire Changer by eight inches, making the working height of the changer 28 inches, and consists of three legs that attach to the base of the Dirt Bike Tire Changer without the use of tools.

The Lift Kit legs when attached increase the overall leg length of the unit and, as a result, provide added stability. Each leg within the kit is made of a durable galvanized steel, incorporates rubber feet for excellent grip on any surface and the entire kit can, of course, fit into the Dirt Bike Tire Changer carry bag.

“As a passionate rider myself, I’m always thinking of ideas on how I can improve something pertaining to my riding technique, my bike or the tools I use,” said Tonu Kallast, co-founder of Rabaconda. “Our Dirt Bike Tire Changer is a hugely popular tool that we are very proud of, but it’s great to now be able to offer something like the Lift Kit that makes a tool loved by thousands of riders worldwide even better.”

The durable sealed ball bearings ensure a consistent low friction rotation, and the Hand Adjustable Cone System (HACS) makes for quick and easy wheel centering and the durable sealed ball bearings, which ensure low friction rotation and allow for the perfect balance every time. The Motorcycle Wheel Balancer can be used on a workbench or, if bench space is an issue (like it is for many of us), on the wall of a garage, workshop, trailer or toy hauler with the included wall mount bracket.

Staying true to the hallmarks of all Rabaconda products, the Motorcycle Wheel Balancer is lightweight, compact, portable, can be assembled or disassembled in seconds and, of course, can be packed away in a convenient carry bag when not being used.
