Product Information
Full details
The Motorex Dry Power lubricant is designed for cyclists riding in dry, dusty conditions, offering superior chain protection and reduced wear. Its key benefit is enhanced lubrication that repels dirt and dust, maintaining drivetrain efficiency. A primary consideration is its formulation for dry conditions, meaning it may not be ideal for wet weather. This fully synthetic, biodegradable oil-wax blend penetrates quickly to form a protective, homogeneous surface on your chain, providing excellent corrosion and wear resistance while minimizing abrasion.

FAQs
Is Motorex Dry Power suitable for wet weather conditions?
No, Motorex Dry Power is specifically designed for dry, dusty conditions. For wet or muddy weather, a different lubricant formulation, such as a wet lube, would be more appropriate to provide adequate protection and adhesion.
How often should I reapply Motorex Dry Power?
Reapplication frequency depends on riding conditions. In dry, dusty environments, it's generally recommended to reapply every 50-100 miles or when the chain begins to sound dry. After very dusty rides, cleaning and reapplying may be necessary.
Can I use this lubricant on all types of bicycles?
Yes, Motorex Dry Power is suitable for the chains and derailleurs of all types of bicycles, including mountain bikes, road bikes, and gravel bikes, provided you are riding in dry conditions.
What does 'biodegradable' mean for this product?
Biodegradable means the lubricant is designed to break down naturally over time, reducing its environmental impact compared to non-biodegradable alternatives.
How do I prevent contamination of my brakes?
Always wipe off excess lubricant thoroughly after application. Be careful during application not to let the lubricant drip or spray onto your brake rotors or pads. If contamination occurs, clean the brakes immediately with a dedicated cleaner.
What is the main advantage of a fully synthetic oil-wax blend?
This blend offers the penetration and lubrication properties of oil combined with the dirt-repelling and durable film characteristics of wax, providing a balance of performance for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Chain making noise or feeling gritty
Clean the chain thoroughly and reapply Motorex Dry Power. Ensure all excess lubricant is wiped off after application. Consider if riding conditions have become too wet or muddy for this specific lubricant.
Brake performance is reduced
Immediately clean your brake rotors and pads with a dedicated brake cleaner. Inspect the chain and drivetrain for any residual lubricant and clean thoroughly. Reapply lubricant carefully, ensuring no contact with brake components.
Lubricant seems to wash off easily
This lubricant is designed for dry conditions. In humid or wet conditions, a different lubricant formulation (like a wet lube) might be more appropriate. Ensure you are applying to a completely dry chain.
Application is difficult due to viscosity
Shake the bottle vigorously before use. The light viscosity should allow for easy penetration; if it seems difficult, ensure the nozzle is clear and the chain is not excessively dirty.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Environmentally friendly due to its biodegradable nature.
- Effectively repels dirt and dust in dry conditions, keeping the drivetrain clean.
- Offers excellent lubrication and reduces mechanical wear on the chain and cogs.
- Protects against corrosion, extending the lifespan of drivetrain components.
- The light viscosity allows for quick penetration and easy application.
Cons
- Formulated specifically for dry conditions; performance may degrade in wet or muddy environments.
- Requires reapplication more frequently than some heavier lubricants, especially after dusty rides.
- Potential for brake contamination if not applied carefully, affecting braking performance.
- A 5-litre container may be excessive for casual users, suggesting bulk purchase for frequent use or shared use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Application: Ensure your chain is clean and dry before application. Shake the bottle well. Apply a small amount of Motorex Dry Power to the rollers of the chain while pedaling backward. Allow the lubricant to penetrate for a few minutes. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth to prevent attracting dirt and to avoid contact with brake surfaces.
Compatibility: Motorex Dry Power is suitable for all types of bicycle chains and derailleurs, including those on mountain bikes, road bikes, and gravel bikes. It is specifically formulated for use in dry, dusty, and warm weather conditions.
Care: Regularly clean your chain to remove accumulated dust and debris. Reapply Motorex Dry Power as needed, typically every 50-100 miles in dry conditions, or more frequently if riding through very dusty environments or if the chain starts to sound dry. Crucially, avoid getting any lubricant on your brake rotors or pads, as this will severely impair braking performance.
