Silca Super Secret Lube set the original benchmark for drip-wax drivetrain efficiency. Silca Super Secret 2.0 closes the gap even further, bringing performance closer than ever to a full hot-melt wax immersion, without giving up the convenience of a drip bottle.
Developed and validated with Team Visma, Lease a Bike, the reformulated blend combines SILCA's signature Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) with an emulsified wax base and a new mix of additives, optimizing the chain surface to cut mechanical friction. The result is roughly a 20 percent longevity improvement over the original Super Secret formula, doubled lifespan in wet and muddy conditions thanks to smaller wax particles and new fullerene friction modifiers, and measurable watt savings on top of an already fast lube. It's not quite a full hot-wax immersion (nothing drip-applied really is), but it gets remarkably close, while taking a fraction of the time and mess to apply.
- Improved Formula: A genuine upgrade over the original Super Secret Lube, not just a re-release.
- 350-400km Per Application: Lasts until it starts getting noisy, condition-dependent. That’s about a 20% improvement over the original formula and on par with Silca Secret Blend hot wax
- Improved Wet-Weather Performance: Smaller wax particles and new fullerene friction modifiers roughly double wet/muddy condition lifespan versus the original.
- Up to 7w Savings: Meaningful efficiency gains over standard drip lubes. Saves between 0.6 - 0.8w more than Super Secret 1.0, bringing performance even closer to that of Secret Chain Blend.
- Clean to the Touch: Stays dry rather than attracting grime like an oil-based lube.
- Repels Dirt and Debris: Keeps the drivetrain cleaner for longer between applications.
- Easy to Apply: No stripping and hot-wax dipping required, just clean, drip, and ride.
________
How to Apply:
- Clean: Wipe off a previously waxed chain, or strip and dry a previously oiled one.
- Drip: Shake well, then apply one drop to each roller while slowly backpedaling.
- Wait: Backpedal to distribute evenly, then let the chain cure at least 4 hours before riding (overnight is ideal).
- Ride: Enjoy a quieter, more efficient drivetrain for up to 350-400km.

Our thoughts:
This is a genuinely meaningful update, not just a marketing refresh. The wet-weather improvement alone is worth the upgrade if you ride in unpredictable conditions, and the extra longevity per application means less frequent maintenance overall. It's still not quite a full hot-wax immersion in terms of ultimate cleanliness and lifespan, but for a drip lube, this is about as close as it gets.
