Why degrease before lubricating?

Applying lubricant on a dirty chain traps abrasive particles, accelerating wear on the chain, sprocket, and rear wheel. Pre-cleaning ensures better adhesion of the lube, smoother transmission, and longer chain life.

Key benefits

• Fast action: quickly dissolves old grease and oil.
• Easy rinsing: washes off with water or wipes clean, no greasy film.
• Versatile use: chain, sprockets, engine cases, external metal parts.
• Precise application: 500 ml aerosol, handy in the garage or on the go.
• Clean finish: leaves a residue-free surface, ready for lubrication.

How to use

1. Put the bike in neutral, ideally with the rear wheel free (see lifting solutions below).
2. Shake the can. Spray generously on the chain (inside/outside), sprockets, and dirty areas.
3. Let it work for 10–20 seconds depending on the dirt level.
4. Brush if necessary, then rinse with water or wipe with a clean cloth.
5. Let it dry completely before applying lubricant.

Best practices

• Protect disc and tire (with cardboard/wipe) to avoid overspray.
• Clean the chain every 500–800 km, and after riding in the rain.
• Work in a ventilated area, away from flames. Flammable aerosol.
• Do not spray on hot surfaces. Keep out of reach of children.
