  "description": "Muc-Off has long and publicly resisted the shift toward wax-based chain lubes. Now the British bike maintenance company is joining the well-established party. \n\nDesigned for dry to damp conditions on road and off-road, the new Dark Energy chain lube is said to have been developed over four years. Like other drip-on wax lubes in this category, Muc-Off's is also PFAS-free and claims to stay clean, reduce component wear, and remain smooth. Meanwhile, Muc-Off states its Ludicrous oil lube remains it",

Now the British bike maintenance company is joining the well-established party.\n\nDesigned for dry to damp conditions on road and off-road, the new Dark Energy chain lube is said to have been developed over four years. Like other drip-on wax lubes in this category, Muc-Off's is also PFAS-free and claims to stay clean, reduce component wear, and remain smooth. Meanwhile, Muc-Off states its Ludicrous oil lube remains its top choice for racing in wet conditions.\n\nIn order to prep the chain for the new wax lube, Muc-off has released a matching Chain Wax Cleaner degreaser. Dark Energy Chain Wax is offered in 50ml and 120ml bottles, priced at £15 / €20 / US$18 and £23 / €30 / US$25 respectively. A 500ml bottle of the cleaner is priced at £22 / €25 / US$25.\n\nWe only just received samples, time will tell how this one stacks up against favoured drip waxes such as CeramicSpeed UFO All Conditions, Silca Super Secret, Smoove, and Rex Black Magik.",
