No matter how good the wax itself is, the waxing procedure remains crucial for good performance - so degrease the chain thoroughly and wax at the right temperature. If you want to avoid degreasing, you can now use additives such as the Silca Strip Chip or the Optimise degreasing/degreasing additive. Our large comparison of chain waxes shows subtle differences between the individual waxes.
The Hyper wax is particularly impressive for medium performance and is biodegradable. A good all-round hot wax that particularly shines in the hobby and training sector.
The classic from the USA remains a bank. The performance is particularly good when the pedalling pressure is really high. If you can pedal a lot of watts or are racing, you will get proven quality here.
The Endurance hot wax comes out on top thanks to its extremely low friction. It hardens a little softer, but protects for a long time and works efficiently - ideal for frequent riders, commuters or long rides. It is also biodegradable.
