Overview

Ideal for anyone who wants a strong, fast-acting spray for stripping old lubricant and grime from a bicycle chain, cassette and drivetrain before routine maintenance.

Motorex BIKE CHAIN DEGREASER SPRAY is made for heavily contaminated bicycle drivetrains. Use it on chains, derailleurs, gear linkages and other bicycle parts to break down grease, oil, abrasive residues and resin deposits. Its highly active formula penetrates the small gaps between chain links and drivetrain components, helping loosen contamination quickly.

The spray is particularly useful before a full re-lubrication or chain-wax application. It evaporates without leaving residue and has no corrosive effect, giving you a clean surface ready for fresh chain lubricant. For stubborn deposits, allow a short working period and use a brush or cloth to finish the job; independent testing found the degreaser especially effective on grease and light lubricant residue, while heavier grime benefited from agitation.

Shake before use, apply to the parts being cleaned, then wipe or brush as required. Re-lubricate immediately after degreasing with a suitable bicycle chain lubricant or chain wax. This product is intended for bicycle drivetrains only—not motorcycle chains, where it may damage X-ring, O-ring and Z-ring seals.

High cleaning power

The extreme-solvent formula tackles grease, oil, abrasive residues and resin deposits across the bicycle drivetrain.

Reaches between chain links

Its highly active cleaning action penetrates small gaps where oily contamination and grit collect.

Dries residue-free

The formula evaporates cleanly, leaving the drivetrain prepared for fresh lubricant or chain wax.

Useful for heavy contamination

Designed for chains, derailleurs, gear linkages and other bicycle parts that need more than a basic wash.

Rapidly biodegradable

A rapidly biodegradable formula delivers strong degreasing performance while breaking down quickly.

Easy spray application

Apply directly to the chain and components, leave for a short time, then wipe or brush as needed.

Bicycle-specific compatibility

Suitable for bicycle drivetrains, but not motorcycle chains with X-ring, O-ring or Z-ring seals.
