Full details
The Park Tool HPG-1 High Performance Grease is an essential maintenance product for cyclists who demand precision and durability for their high-end bicycle components. It provides superior adherence and rust protection, making it ideal for ceramic bearings, suspension pivots, and bottom brackets. While it offers industry-leading performance across a massive temperature range, users should note that the 113g tube is specifically designed for technical applications rather than general-purpose bulk lubrication needs.

FAQs
Can I use this on my chain?
While it can be used on parts, it is specifically formulated as a bearing and pivot grease. A dedicated chain lubricant is generally more effective for the high-speed articulation of a bicycle chain.
Is this grease safe for rubber seals?
Yes, HPG-1 is formulated to be safe for typical bicycle components, including rubber seals and gaskets found in suspension systems.
Does this grease dry out?
No, it is engineered for an extended lubrication life and does not dry out or harden like traditional greases.
Can I use this for general bolts?
Yes, it is excellent for preventing bolt threads from seizing or corroding over time.
Is it safe for electric bike components?
Yes, its high-performance properties are perfectly suited for the increased torque loads found in modern e-bike drivetrains.
Troubleshooting
Grease is attracting too much dirt
You have likely applied too much. Wipe away excess grease until only a thin, translucent film remains on the moving parts.
Difficulty squeezing grease out of the tube
If the environment is extremely cold, warm the tube in your hands for a few minutes before application to restore the grease's viscosity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely versatile temperature threshold
- Safe for use on carbon fiber parts
- Excellent water and corrosion resistance
- Perfect for sensitive ceramic and precision bearings
Cons
- Higher cost than standard shop greases
- Smaller quantity (113g) may require frequent repurchasing for high-volume shops
- Tube packaging requires manual application
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best results, ensure all old, contaminated grease is removed from the component before applying the HPG-1.
- Clean the surface thoroughly using a degreaser.
- Wipe the area dry to ensure the HPG-1 adheres to the metal or carbon surface rather than remaining on top of a thin film of solvent.
- Apply a light, even coat to the bearing race or pivot point.
- Reassemble the component and wipe away any excess grease that squeezes out to prevent dust buildup.
Compatibility check: This grease is safe for carbon fiber, steel, and aluminum components, making it a universal choice for modern bicycle builds.
