Road, gravel and commuter riders who want a quiet, efficient, long lasting oil lube without waxing.
Silca Synergetic is the maker's pick for anyone who doesn't want to change over to a wax based lubricant. In Silca's own testing it is the fastest and quietest oil based lube it has measured, losing only 4.9 W on 250 W of input, which is 98.1% efficiency.
The trick is a tribofilm: tungsten disulfide nano platelets held in a protective layer on the metal surface. Silca says this cuts wear and, because the lube clings to itself, it stayed in the chain even under full water submersion in testing, with a claimed 500+ miles from a single application.
Fast and quiet
Silca's testing shows 98.1% efficiency and very low chain noise.
Wear protection
A durable tribofilm forms on the metal under pressure to reduce wear.
Stays in the wet
Held in the chain even under full submersion in the maker's tests.
Lubricant
Great for
Maybe not for
One 59 ml (2 oz) squeeze bottle with a precision applicator tip. The maker claims 500+ miles from a single application.
Fitting tip
Apply a small amount to a clean chain, let it soak in, then wipe the outside of the chain dry so it doesn't pick up grit.
