How To Choose The Right Chain Lubricant
A well-lubricated bicycle chain is essential for optimal drivetrain efficiency. Periodically cleaning your chain and re-applying a bicycle-specific lubricant will optimize performance and help protect your expensive components.
Finish Line® has a comprehensive range of bike chain lubricants to cater for the various riding conditions faced by cyclists around the world.
Finish Line® Dry Lubricant:
Engineered with our high-performance Non-Stick Ceramic Technology, it’s dry-style formula makes it our most versatile lubricant. It sets up with a wax-like film that’s dry-to-the-touch after application and will attract less dirt and grime. Dry Lubricant is perfect for riding on or off-road, in dry, dirty, dusty environments, yet it holds up well in moderately wet conditions. With each application lasting approximately 100 miles, it’s an ideal choice for most cyclists.
Finish Line® Wet Lubricant:
With a full synthetic formula, water repelling polymers, and advanced anti-corrosion additives, Wet Lubricant is our longest-lasting, and most water-resistant lubricant. It goes on wet, and stays wet, to provide maximum drivetrain smoothness, extremely quiet riding, and ultimate rust protection, even in the harshest of environments. This is the lubricant of choice for many of our professional teams, as it’s engineered to endure over 150 miles of riding before reapplication. If you’re riding in muddy off-road conditions, extreme rain and standing water, or in salt-air, coastal climates, Wet Lubricant is your best choice.
Finish Line® 1 Step™ Cleaner & Lubricant:
It is both a Cleaner and a Lubricant and is perfect for commuters, recreational cyclists, or people on the go. 1-Step™ has been developed for cyclists seeking a quick cleaning and lubricating solution. It flushes out contaminants and old lubricant, before leaving behind a new, clean film of low friction lube. It’s formulated with corrosion inhibitors that provide excellent rust protection in extreme conditions and coastal salt air. 1-Step does not compromise on its ability to reduce pedaling friction over long intervals and requires reapplication after approximately 100 miles.
Finish Line® EVOLVE™ E-Bike Lubricant:
Designed to handle the higher torque and wattage loads generated by electronic assist bikes, EVOLVE™ E-Bike Lubricant is an extremely robust lubricant formulated with unique pressure additives to ensure the lube stays within the chain’s pins, and prevents premature wear, rust, and corrosion. It sets up as a light, wet film, and will maintain performance for over 100 miles per application. It’s available in a 4oz squeeze bottle and is the perfect choice for any e-bike drivetrain systems.
