I find this hard to believe as its been used for years on race cars instead of regular coolant. All the bike specific tracks will not allow coolant due to the slippery nature of the stuff, they use distilled water and water wetter only and so do many dedicated race cars for the same reason.
Quote from another forum-how it works: "Water Wetter helps break the surface tension of the water essentially becomes thiner and cools better. It also prevents corosion in the cooling system (a big problem when running straight water)."
Maybe this happens when it's mixed with coolant instead of just distilled water, the test doesn't mention if coolant was in the mix or not. The test was also done by Redlines competitor with no independent verification.
I am not convinced....yet.

This test tells more of the story. There might be some bias in it, but much less than the rant written by Redline's competitor.
Please read, there's some good info mixed in.
