Silca Synergetic Oil-Based Bike Chain Lube, 50ml

SILCA Synergetic Wet Lube - Award-Winning Bike Chain Lubricant

Building on the tremendous success of their SILCA Super Secret Chain Lube and Super Secret Chain Blend, the team at SILCA recognized that the majority of cyclists still prefer using oil-based wet lubricants due to their ease of application and reduced maintenance time. While hot melt wax and drip wax may ultimately provide slightly higher efficiency and cleaner operation, the requirement of starting with a perfectly clean, dry chain, and the 300-mile re-application intervals deter many riders.

To create an exceptional wet lube, SILCA's engineers conducted extensive testing, including subjecting test pins made from E52100 bearing steel to wear against a spinning ring per ASTM G77 protocols. The results showed that SILCA's NFS (a Type V base oil) - previously considered the best oil-based lubricant according to Zero Friction Cycling testing - reduced wear by 25% compared to an advanced (Type IV-PAO base) oil. Further testing of various additives revealed the ability to reduce wear by an additional 10-15%, but the combination of WS2 and ZDDP proved to diminish wear by more than 95% compared to the Type IV base oil.

The result of this meticulous development process is SILCA Synergetic Wet Chain Lube, which has been independently tested and verified as the fastest wet lube available. In the rigorous ZFC (Zero Friction Cycling) test designed to replicate real-world conditions, SILCA's Synergetic lube is one of only a handful of lubricants to make it through all 6 test blocks with less than 100% wear, while 95% of tested lubricants fail before reaching the final block.

SILCA's Synergetic Wet Lube offers several key benefits:

Speed: As the fastest and possibly quietest oil-based bike chain lube on the market, Synergetic delivers a smooth, efficient ride without the need for extensive chain cleaning required by wax-based lubes.

Low Wear: Synergetic not only acts as a lubricating surface but also as a wear surface, reducing friction by 50% and wear by 90% compared to generic dry lubes and greases.

Longevity: With a lifespan of up to 12,000 miles per 2oz bottle, SILCA Synergetic allows riders to maximize the life of their drivetrain components, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Precision: The Synergetic bottle features a precision applicator tip, ensuring no waste and enabling easy, targeted application of just one drop per chain link. Simply wipe the chain with a degreaser, apply the lube, and wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.

Recognized for its innovative design and performance, SILCA Synergetic Wet Chain Lube has received a 10/10 verdict from road.cc and was named a finalist for the 2021/22 Tech Innovation of the Year award. Offering a winning combination of speed, longevity, and precision, SILCA's Synergetic lube is the perfect choice for any rider seeking a high-performing, low-maintenance wet chain lubricant.
