What is Cyclowax?
Cyclowax is all about keeping your bike chain spotless and running smooth. It’s a range of products designed for cyclists who are done with dirty, grimy chains slowing them down. From starter kits and waxing kits to hot wax gear and pre-waxed chains, Cyclowax offers everything you need to maintain a clean drivetrain. Whether you’re prepping your bike or looking for high-performance wax, Cyclowax has you covered with items like the Hot Wax Heater, Swizzle Wire, and Core Wax Tablets. Plus, their lineup includes chains waxed for top brands like Campagnolo, Shimano, SRAM, and more.
Main Benefits of Using Cyclowax
Why choose hot wax over oil or liquid wax? Here’s the lowdown:
- 100% Clean Chain: Hot wax keeps your drivetrain completely clean because it’s dry and repels dirt—unlike sticky oils that attract grime.
- 4-8 Watts Faster: A clean chain means less friction, so you save watts and ride faster, especially in dirty or long rides.
- 3x Chain Lifespan: Waxing every 300-500 km (190-310 miles) can triple your chain’s life, saving you money on replacements.
And hey, it’s not just about performance—there’s a sustainability angle too.
Hot Wax vs. Traditional Lubricants
Traditional oils and liquid waxes are wet and sticky, which means they attract dirt and grime like a magnet. This leads to a messy chain and more frequent cleanings. Hot wax, on the other hand, is completely dry once applied, so it repels dirt and keeps your drivetrain cleaner for longer. This means less maintenance and more time on the road or trail. Plus, no thick, grinding oil-pastes slowing you down—just smooth, efficient pedaling.
Product Range and Accessories
Cyclowax offers a variety of products tailored to every cyclist’s needs. From starter kits that bundle everything you need to save time and money, to specialized hot wax tablets like Core, Performance, and Race Wax. There’s also a selection of hot wax gear including heaters, swizzle wires, chain cutters, and multi-tools. For those who want convenience, pre-waxed chains compatible with major brands are ready to go right out of the box. It’s a full ecosystem designed to make waxing easy and effective.
Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of Cyclowax’s mission. All products are designed to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable, minimizing environmental impact. By extending the lifespan of chains and cassettes up to three times, Cyclowax helps save energy and reduce steel consumption. Plus, their system eliminates the need for harsh chemicals to clean or degrease your drivetrain. Even the packaging avoids single-use plastics, making it a greener choice for cyclists who care about the planet.

Supporting Cyclists and the Cycling Community

For everyday cyclists, there are how-to guides, FAQs, and a support network to help get the most out of their waxing experience.
