| | Always working for your benefit - The original rex chain lubricant
Dirt repellent
with the best race ski wax technology
In addition to skiing, we at Rex are also passionate cyclists. This is the main reason why we started developing the Domestique lube. We started playing with the idea “If Rex made a chain lubricant, what would it be like?”. That sounded so interesting we had to find out! The recipe of Domestique combines out-of-the-box thinking with the best raw materials used in high-end ski waxes. Rex is well known for its world cup level ski waxes and is an expert in paraffin wax-based applications with seven decades’ worth of experience. Each batch of Rex Chain Lube is carefully hand-mixed at our factory in Hartola, Finland.
Domestique /d?’m?s t?k/
A domestique is a road bicycle racer who works for the benefit of his team and leader. In French, domestique translates as “servant”. The use of the term dates back to 1911, although such riders existed before then.
Watt optimized
Silent and energy-efficient drivetrain
Thoroughly tested by acknowledged laboratiories on two continents: Wheel Energy (Finland), and Zero Friction Cycling (Australia). In both tests, the results were encouraging:
In longevity tests done by Wheel Energy, Rex outperformed competing mineral oil and solvent-based lubricants by a significant margin.
In tests done by Zero Friction Cycling, Domestique excellent longevity and excellent ability to restore its lubrication abilities after being exposed tocontamination.
“If you like the brand Rex (and honestly you should, when I deal with a manufacturer through testing for them, I can often get a good insight I think into what the brand is all about. (Rex are working really hard on a bunch of fronts to bring some truly great lubricant products to market which will save you a lot of friction, wear and running costs – stay tuned). Rex can be rated as a brand that is putting in the financial and human capital resources in this space to really make a difference, unlike other brands covered that may spend a gazillion on marketing for products that just test like liquid sandpaper, and thanks to their marketing investments – they are often the products taking up all the shelf space at local bike stores, whilst so many other brilliant products are left unsupported.”- Adam Kerin, ZFC
All conditions
Combining the best properties of dry and wet lubes
Prior to its launch, Domestique was tested for two years in all possible summer and winter riding conditions, in road and MTB use. In dry road conditions, the lube performs well for up to 500 kilometers. In typical use, only wiping with a dry cloth is needed before reapplying the lube. Before using Rex Chain Lube for the first time, it is preferable to fully degrease the chain for best results.
Wax based
Solvent-free, non-vaporizing, undiluted
Adding solvent or water to a chain lube is generally thought to be a great way to reduce manufacturing costs and give the manufacturer a better margin. At Rex, we think otherwise. Every drop you apply on the chain is 100% lubricant an not something that will evaporate into the air. Unlike with most chain lubes, there is no need to wait until the solvent evaporates before you can ride your bike. Skladom | 480,99 zł 393,91 zł
