Tunap Sports Chain Wax Ultimate: Wax & grease for spraying - New from Tunap for the chain

Wax is regarded as the saviour for a clean and low-wear drivetrain. Because the bicycle chain is coated with a protective layer of wax, it is difficult for dust and dirt to accumulate. This not only reduces wear, but also minimises friction. A nice side effect: you get fewer black fingers when adjusting the gears, changing tyres or simply in the event of a puncture. Because less dust and sand on the chain is mixed with the chain oil to form the notorious thick black sludge, as if by some nasty magic formula.

Spray wax instead of wax bath

Until now, however, the application of the wax layer was associated with an annoying procedure. Tunap Sports now wants to put an end to this. No more time-consuming removal of the chain and Wax bath using hot waxNo long flash-off of the chain after applying wax from the dropper bottle. This is because the new Ultimate chain wax is simply sprayed on. The spray application allows the lubricant to penetrate the chain quickly, the solvent evaporates and the bike is immediately ready to ride. The chain wax's grease-wax matrix is designed to provide strong corrosion protection, extremely low friction values and high dirt resistance.

Long service life thanks to fat-wax mix

The new Ultimate chain wax is suitable for lubricating the bike chain after every repair, maintenance or cleaning of the bike and can also be used for e-bike chains. Thanks to special additives and solid lubricants, the lubricating film should last longer than average, especially in dry conditions. Another disadvantage of classic waxes is said to have been eliminated. Previously, the wax layer usually had to be refreshed after a short time using a dropper bottle.

Compared to other waxes on the market, Tunap Sports Wax is also said to be characterised by very strong corrosion protection. The grease-wax matrix is said to increase the adhesion of the product to the chain, which should effectively prevent dirt deposits on the bike chain for a long time. Tests on the in-house chain test bench are said to have shown that the new spray wax achieves a particularly high degree of efficiency.

Chain waxing with Tunap Sports Chain Wax Ultimate - how it works

• First remove coarse dirt from the chain.
• Shake the Ultimate chain wax vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds and point the spray head at the chain.
• Press the spray head and turn the crank backwards once or twice until the chain has run through completely and been supplied with lubricant.
