More Than a Company: We're Cyclists at Heart

FrictionWorX were founded by two passionate cyclists intrigued by the intricacies of performance, marginal gains and the purity of the sport.

At FrictionWorx you will only encounter the most apt genuine best in class products that will save you significant numbers of watts for your racing, sports or just general riding.

Run of the mill standard products are easily obtainable everywhere and are at your disposal, but not at FrictionWorx – we ONLY provide the best in class products. 

Only at FrictionWorx you will find products that actually removes avoidable bicycle drivetrain friction. Applying the basics, friction in your drivetrain requires more power to make you go faster. Reducing that friction in your drivetrain means you can go FASTER, for the same amount of power. Makes sense? This is why we at FrictionWorX started testing different scenario’s and found that an exposed chain, is one of the biggest contributors of friction on your bicycle. 

Bearings are sealed and hence the bottom bracket can spin freely in its cozy environ, whilst even after 10-20km of riding, your chain starts collecting dust and causes friction, requiring you, to push harder and harder to maintain the same speed.

Our research shows that most chain lubes collect dust! And fast….. VERY FAST! After a lot of research and trail and testing, we eventually found that chain wax is the most efficient way to save you watts and as a BONUS, saves you a lot of money as well.

Years of riding experience

At our local group-rides we have started noticing different opinions and saw a brand-new chain, on a recently serviced bicycle turning from silver grey (out the box brand new) to black in just 60km of riding.

On the other spectrum, we have seen clean chains at the start of the group ride remain “clean” until we saw the chainring tattoo on the cyclist’s calve…. By waxing your chain, it remains clean, remains smooth and LOW FRICTION and collects a lot less friction causing contamination.

After reaching out to ZFC in Australia, the only independent drivetrain efficiency testing house worldwide, we were convinced that we are on the right track and started learning from them. We chose the best products that they recommend and in also considering Ceramicspeed official test results, carefully selected a bunch of products that will make you faster, and save you money in cassette and chainring wear!
Lastly, we formulated our own, which we believe is as good – pending official tests.

Shop for our our race prepared chains available to order in our online shop.


A final word from us, !!! DON’T BELIEVE THE MARKETING HIPES !!! Independent tests have proved over and over, that a bad product can appear great with the correct marketing and marketing budgets.

Read the tests results from leading companies – as tested by independent test centers – and not in-house tests. An in-house test is always favoring the product they want to sell….. here at FrictionWorX, we only sell tested products by reputable test facilities and will never provide bad advice.
