If you're chasing a waxed chain that lasts longer than 300k then CeramicSpeed’s UFO Ultra Endurance Wax might be a better option than current market competitors. Formulated as a hot-melt chain lubricant, it redefines expectations for chain longevity, quiet low friction performance, and eco-conscious formulation.

What’s the difference between UFO Ultra Endurance & Competitors?

Mileage

  • One application can last 500–1,000+ km, while in mixed or wet riding it still delivers 500–750 km
  • Test riders have even logged 1,000 km+ runs on a single application in variable terrain
  • This is a vast improvement on current competitors and lasts in real-world conditions

Silence

  • This hot-melt wax sets a new benchmark for wax melt longevity—offering smooth, quiet rides far beyond competitors waxes 

Eco-Friendly 

  • Developed by CeramicSpeed’s in-house chemist, the formula is biodegradable and non-toxic, aligning sustainability alongside performance.

Proven in Racing / Real World Testing

This wax isn’t just lab-tested—it’s race-proven. At the grueling 2025 Traka 360 and Unbound 200 gravel races, top riders from PAS Racing relied on UFO Ultra Endurance Wax to keep their drivetrains efficient and reliable in harsh, dusty, and muddy conditions.

Testimonials

  • Karolina Migoń praised it for giving “real peace of mind… quiet, smooth, and reliable to the finish."
  • Tobias Kongstad highlighted drivetrain efficiency as “massive” in long races, crediting UFO Ultra Endurance Wax’s consistent performance for his victory.

How to Wax Your Chain?

DIY Starter Kit 
The wax comes as pellets in a heat-safe cylinder. Heat it via a hot-water bath—no fancy wax heater is required. For seasoned wax users, the pellets also work with dedicated hot-wax setups. A new innovative chain hanger is included to prevent tangling during application.

  • Use a prepped clean grease free chain for waxing.
  • Remove label & lid from wax kit. 
  • Remove chain hanger from wax pellets. 
  • Place kit in pot of hot water on the stovetop (yes the tub goes in the water).
  • Make sure water is 85-90 degrees, wait about 40 minutes until wax is fully melted.
  • Fit chain to the supplied chain hanger with the end of the chain in starting slot.
  • Roll the chain around the hanger. 
  • When the wax is fully melted place the chain on the hanger, submerged the wax.
  • Spin the hanger to make sure wax penetrates the linkages of the chain.
  •  Leave for 5-10 minutes. 
  •  Remove chain and hanger from the wax. 
  •  Place on paper towel and leave chain on hanger until fully cooled. 
  • Once cool (Up to 1hr), refit chain to bike. 

Care Tips & Application Best Practices

To ensure optimal performance, CeramicSpeed offers specific do’s and don’ts:

Do:

  • Let the wax heat evenly.
  • Store wax in a cool, dry place.
  • Always start with a clean grease free chain.

Do Not:

  • Avoid direct flame or heating pellets above 100 °C.
  • Don’t mix water into the wax.
  • Never wax an older greasy / dirty chain, or a brand new chain with factory grease.

Chain Care Based on Conditions:

Dry Weather

Run until the chain becomes noisy, then clean and reapply waxing method.

Rainy Weather:

  • If under 100 km and still lubricated: rinse with water, dry, then apply two layers of UFO Drip Wet Conditions Drip Lube.
