COOL COOLING
Sep 9th
Proform makes better cooling a snap with its 1-2-3 Radiator Systems. The systems feature a two-row aluminium radiator, aluminium shroud and one or two electric fans depending on the size of the radiator.
The trick is that Proform assembles the whole system for you – just pull it out of the box and install it in your vehicle.
The radiators feature TIG-welded tanks and a patented four-corner design that mounts the fan motor on a billet aluminium plate that sits inside a third tank located in the centre of the radiator.
That allows coolant to flow through the entire unit for maximum cooling. More >
