In the Netherlands, Cyclon has launched a new bike lubricant and cleaner line that is 100% plant based. Dubbed The Cycle Division, the line includes wax chain lube made from canola oil and is proven to last longer than petrochemically based oils. Cycling Industry noted that the lube also demonstrates greater performance, with lower friction that boosts the bike’s overall wattage.
Cyclon began shifting to biodegradable ingredients in the 1990s. The Cycle Division range is a further step forward in that no toxic residues are left behind, and at the end of life the lubricant and cleaners can be used as fertilizer.
