Silca Wax Additives

Silca Wax Additives allow you to customize your wax blend to suit your specific riding conditions. Whether you're tackling a 24-hour endurance race or preparing for a 40k time trial, you can adjust your wax to meet the demands of your event. 

SpeedChip is a high-performance, full synthetic wax made from exotic base oils similar to those used in SILCA Synergetic. It features sub-micron and nanoscale Tungsten Disulfide platelets, which significantly reduce friction and enhance anti-wear properties. Tested to improve chain efficiency by up to 0.6% over SILCA SecretBlend hot melt, SpeedChip is the fastest wax available, though it may require more frequent reapplication.

EnduranceChip is a semi-synthetic wax blend designed for maximum durability. By adding EnduranceChip to SecretBlend, you can extend the distance between re-waxing by up to 2.5 times (up to 750km), while maintaining speed comparable to the top wet lubricants and surpassing most dry lubricants.

Secret Chain Blend is distinguished by its unique mix of four different waxes, not just paraffin like many other hot wax products. This blend, combined with proprietary WS2, has consistently topped the ZeroFrictionCycling charts for three years. With input from professional athletes and teams, SILCA developed SpeedChip and EnduranceChip to allow athletes to tailor their wax blends for specific events.

Instead of creating numerous custom formulations, this new system empowers athletes to optimize their wax blends for their needs. Whether you need a long-lasting training wax or a race wax for critical events, SpeedChip and EnduranceChip enable you to achieve peak performance.

The process, formerly known internally as "Wax Doping," is now called "Wax Optimization," reflecting the significant impact it has had in competitive cycling. With over 100 victories in WorldTour, Lifetime Grand Prix, and the Olympics, this innovative approach allows you to create the ideal wax for your performance goals.
