Maxima 74920 Chain Wax - 13.5 oz. Aerosol

Product Information

The lubricant also improves the performance of the vehicle by reducing friction. By resisting grime and rust, this can be used on or off-road in dry and damp weather conditions. Unless your bike ride is planned to take place underwater, we’d recommend steering well clear of using grease on your chain. Do aerosol lubes work? Once it’s been properly cleaned and treated though, waxed chains have, in our experience, an incredible ability to shrug off dirt and grime. It’s easy to apply (wet or dry) and won’t make much of a mess compared to other types of lubricants. Is Chain Wax the Same As Lube? Maintaining and caring for a motorcycle chain is more than just applying some chain lubricants, it includes cleaning as well. That is why the MOTUL Motorcycle Kit is the perfect all-in-one. It contains a chain cleaner, a chain brush, a motorcycle chain lube, gloves, and a decal.

Bulldog BDX was a surprise as it’s an all-purpose spray. It did well in my corrosion protectants test, and while it is a penetrating spray, it didn’t creep past the O-ring in my test rig.

Z-Ring Chains: This is an adaption of the x-ring and it is very similar except the ring has an asymmetric profile. This specific model was made to decrease twisting and sliding within the part.

It’s also relatively easy to apply and doesn’t attract dirt and grime like some other types of lubricants. Wax lube can be applied in two different ways: wet or dry. Many cyclists prefer to apply wax lube when the chain is dry, as it’s easier to work with and less messy. Just find a brush and the cleaner is the perfect preparation for the chain lubricant. It also won’t damage the seals or rings. One user wrote, “The Honda chain cleaner is some of the best on the market. Grime just melts off the chain so easily.”A wax-based drip lube can be used to top up a waxed chain in between full re-waxes. Simon von Bromley / Immediate Media
