Dark Energy Chain Wax
Formulated to maximise efficiency, durability and low wear in a single dropper wax, delivering a clean, fast and quiet drivetrain.
Developed in-house at the unique Muc-Off R&D Lab, Dark Energy is the result of four years of testing across 90+ formulations, equating to over 8,500 hours of lab and independent machine testing with over 100,000km of real-world riding by our in-house test team and pro-team riders.
A blend of cutting edge, highly refined waxes which includes a plant-derived, inherently biodegradable wax. It forms a durable dry-film barrier designed for consistent very high performance in dry and damp conditions.
Whether you’re racing, training or just out for a blast on your road, gravel or mountain bike, Dark Energy helps to reduce maintenance through long-lasting wear protection and exceptional durability performance.
Dark Energy – the invisible force.

Cleaning/Application Instructions:
| Application Steps |
| Thoroughly clean drivetrain (chain, cassette, chainrings and pulley wheels) and ensure drivetrain is fully dry before application. |
| Shake bottle very well before use. |
| Apply one drop of chain wax to each link, starting at the quick link. Complete 2 full laps of the chain. |
| Slowly run through the gears, coating each cog on the cassette. |
| Leave to dry for AT LEAST 12 hours before riding, ideally 24 hours in cooler climates for best results. |
| When riding in dry conditions, once the wax has worn off and the chain starts becoming louder, simply wipe down with a microfibre cloth and re-apply. |
| When riding in wet conditions, clean and re-lube immediately after riding to maintain peak performance. |
Storage:Store in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight or a direct heat source, in a temperature range of 5-30 degrees Celsius. Do not allow to freeze.
