About this product
Dark Energy is Muc-Off’s drip-on chain wax, and it is worth being clear about what that means. Traditional chain waxing involves stripping a chain completely, melting wax in a slow cooker and immersing it – a genuinely better result, and a genuinely tedious process. Dark Energy is a wax you apply from a dropper bottle like any other lube.
Muc-Off put unusual development effort behind it and publish the numbers: four years of testing across more than ninety formulations, over eight thousand five hundred hours of lab and independent machine testing, and more than a hundred thousand kilometres of real riding by their test team and sponsored riders. Those are the manufacturer’s figures.
The formula blends highly refined waxes including a plant-derived, inherently biodegradable wax, and forms a durable dry film. A wax film is the cleanest-running option there is: it does not stay tacky, so dust has nothing to stick to. On a dusty Tanzanian road that is exactly the property you want.
Muc-Off list it as consistent in dry and damp conditions and suitable for road, gravel and mountain biking. This is the 50 ml bottle; a 120 ml is also made.
