SpeedChip and EnduranceChip new from SILCA > available and shipping now
WAX OPTIMIZATION: This new SILCA system; SpeedChip and EnduranceChip, are wax optimization agents that allow you to modify SILCA Secret Chain Blend to create the perfect custom wax process for your needs. Want a training wax that lasts 600km between waxings, you've got it. Want a race wax that's won multiple Tour de France stages, you've got it. Want a super fast wax for your 40km TT, you've got it.
SpeedChip: SpeedChip is a full synthetic wax produced from the same exotic base oils used in SILCA Synergetic. This is the absolute fastest wax ever used in a cycling lubricant, blended with 3 sizes of sub-micron and nanoscale Tungsten Disulfide platelets for further reduced friction and anti-wear properties. Proven in testing to permanent increase chain efficiency by up to 0.6% over SILCA SecretBlend hot melt, with the only downside being more frequent lubrication intervals required.
EnduranceChip: EnduranceChip is a semi-synthetic wax blend boasting some of the longest molecular chain lengths possible in a wax for ultimate durability. Adding EnduranceChip to SecretBlend can permanently increase the distance between re-waxing by as much as 2.5X (up to 750km) while still being as fast as the top wet lubricants and significantly faster than any dry lubricant.
One of the secrets behind Secret Chain Blend is that it's a mix of 4 unique types of wax and not just Paraffin like most other hot wax products. This blend of waxes along with our proprietary WS2 has kept the Secret Chain Blend on top of the ZeroFrictionCycling charts for the last 3 years with many competitors reformulating to get close, but none of them able to beat it.
The 4 wax mix has allowed SILCA to blend what we felt was the best overall mix of high performance, dirt resistance, and application longevity. Subsequently the request has come up over and over again to custom formulate waxes for specific events or ride situations. The challenge in formulating waxes is that the fastest, most exotic waxes, tend not to last as long per application, while the most durable, longest lasting waxes tend not to be as fast. Rather than make an endless number of custom blends, these two different wax additive kits and the formulations allow customization based on the specific need for the event/use situation.
