Motul - Racing Chain Lube 100ml
Description
MOTUL RACING CHAIN LUBE is a state-of-the-art, ultra-low friction lubricant engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of elite road racing. Utilising an advanced synthetic formula, with ESTER technology, MOTUL RACING CHAIN LUBE brings the highest standards of lubrication for bicycle chains.
In modern competitive cycling, lubrication is one of the top three determinants of performance alongside aerodynamics and rolling resistance. At the highest level, victories are decided by fractions of a second.
Drawing on over 170 years of motorsport lubrication expertise, Motul transfers high-performance tribology directly to the peloton. MOTUL RACING CHAIN LUBE is the flagship bicycle lubricant engineered for riders and teams who leave nothing to chance. ESTER technology for cycling performance
Lubrication is one of the top three factors in professional cycling performance, alongside aerodynamics and reduced rolling resistance. In this area, expectations for chain lubricants have evolved significantly in recent years. Today's cyclists are looking for far more than simple mechanical protection. They expect a product capable of real marginal gains: minimise power loss, deliver long-lasting drivetrain protection, and maintain performance regardless of riding conditions.
Drawing on its expertise in lubrication, recognized across the automotive, motorcycle, and bicycle sectors, Motul has developed a high-performance bicycle chain lubricant designed to meet all these demands.
Incorporating ESTER technology, a Motul innovation widely acclaimed in the motorcycle sector, where the brand is a European leader, the formulation of Motul Racing Chain Lube guarantees:
The product is designed to optimise daily training and high-level competition, for professional cyclists as well as enthusiast amateurs.
Real benefits, validated through a competition-derived testing protocol
In the cycling market, performance claims are abundant, but few lubricants are backed by objective, reproducible, and cross-comparable measurements.
To maximise the performance of its formula during development and demonstrate the benefits of this flagship product, Motul created a laboratory validation protocol based on the metrics of a Tour de France stage: 280 watts, 220 kilometers, 45 km/h, 90 RPM, ensuring reproducible data that is directly comparable to competing lubricants. This testing protocol evaluates the tribological properties friction, wear, viscosity of the formulation by replicating the extreme conditions of competition.
The tests were then supplemented by real-world validation, thanks to Motul's partner teams the Tudor Pro Cycling Team and BMC Factory Racing which have been using the product for many months, during both training camps and races.
The measured results confirm the product's three key benefits and place it at the top of its category:
Very low friction: -17% less chain friction, representing a gain of 1.45W compared to the five best competitor lubricants tested. Over 220 km, this translates to a theoretical advantage of 22 seconds. Compared to an unlubricated chain, losses are reduced by -72%, demonstrating the significant impact of lubrication on transmission performance. High wear resistance: an 8% reduction in wear compared to the best competitors tested and a 51% reduction compared to an unlubricated chain. Shield protection for the drivetrain: complete protection in wet, dusty, or high-stress environments, whether in competition or during training.
Performance should be proven, not just claimed. Motul developed a standardised in-house testing protocol based on the real-world metrics of a 220 km Tour de France stage.
By replicating extreme race stresses on our chain efficiency test bench, our lab delivered objective, reproducible performance gains:
VERY LOW FRICTION
With a 22 sec* advantage over competitors, our lube turns drivetrain efficiency into a race day advantage.
HIGH WEAR RESISTANCE
With only 0.048%* chain wear after 220 km, our lube ensures long-lasting performance.
SHIELD PROTECTION
With its shield effect, our lube keeps your drivetrain cleaner for longer.
