What does the SILCA SpeedChip add to your hot wax?

SILCA SpeedChip is a full synthetic wax produced from the same exotic base oils used in SILCA Synergetic, blended with three sizes of sub-micron and nanoscale Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) platelets for further reduced friction and anti-wear performance. Add one chip per 250g of hot wax to permanently optimize your blend for speed. SILCA states one SpeedChip per 250g improves chain efficiency by 0.4 percent, and two chips per 250g improves it by 0.6 percent over standard Secret Chain Blend hot melt. It is the choice of WorldTour and pro athletes who want the absolute fastest drivetrain for time trials, one-day classics, and short high-intensity events.

The tradeoff is shorter intervals between re-waxing: the fastest synthetic wax base that gives SpeedChip its speed advantage does not last as long per application as unmodified Secret Chain Blend, so it suits race situations where you will be re-waxing soon anyway. SILCA calls the broader approach wax optimization, and SpeedChip can be combined with EnduranceChip to build a custom blend for a specific event. Compatible with SILCA StripChip and paraffin-based hot wax, and sold in multi-chip packs.

FAQ

How much faster is the SILCA SpeedChip than Secret Chain Blend?

SILCA SpeedChip improves chain efficiency by 0.4 percent with one chip per 250g of wax, or 0.6 percent with two chips per 250g, over standard Secret Chain Blend. The tradeoff is more frequent re-waxing, so it is best used for race day.

Should I use SILCA SpeedChip or EnduranceChip?

Use SILCA SpeedChip for maximum speed in races and short events, and EnduranceChip when you want the longest interval between re-waxing. The two can be combined in one batch to balance speed and longevity for a specific event.

How do I add SILCA SpeedChip to my wax?

Add one SILCA SpeedChip per 250g of hot wax and stir until fully incorporated before dipping the chain. Use two chips per 250g for the larger 0.6 percent efficiency gain.

Best For

Racers and time trialists who hot wax their own chains and want the fastest possible drivetrain for race day, and riders who re-wax frequently and want to optimize each batch for peak efficiency rather than longevity.
