Road, gravel and MTB riders who want a clean, quiet, efficient chain and are happy to let the lube cure before riding.
Silca Super Secret 2.0 is a drip-on wax lube for riders who want a fast, clean drivetrain without the hassle of hot waxing. It blends advanced waxes with NanoPlatelet tungsten disulfide (WS2) to keep friction low.
Silca says the 2.0 formula lasts about 20% longer than the original and handles wet weather better. Once cured, it leaves a dry wax film that is clean to the touch and does not collect dirt like a wet oil. Expect around 350 to 400 km between applications, or top it up when the chain starts to get noisy.
It is also a great partner for hot-waxed chains: just wipe the chain and top it up between full waxings. The 100 ml bottle has a precision tip for one drop per roller.

100 ml bottle. Use one drop per roller. Works on all standard bike chains.
Prep is everything
Wax lubes only work on a properly clean chain. If your chain has been running oil, strip it with a degreaser, rinse and let it dry completely before the first application. Lube after your ride and let it cure overnight so it is ready for the next one.
