Squirt Chain Lube 120ml
The Squirt Chain Lube 120ml is a wax-based, water-emulsion chain lubricant designed to keep your drivetrain clean while reducing friction and wear. It’s one of the most popular “dry-style” lubes for MTB, gravel, and road cycling.
Unlike traditional oily lubricants, Squirt dries to form a wax coating inside the chain links, which helps repel dirt and grime.
What It Is
A biodegradable wax emulsion chain lubricant developed for riders who want:
- A clean drivetrain
- Quiet chain operation
- Reduced chain wear
- Less frequent deep cleaning
It is widely used in MTB racing and endurance cycling because it balances cleanliness + efficiency.
Key Features
- Wax-based emulsion formula
- Dries completely (no oily residue)
- Deep penetration into chain rollers
- Biodegradable and environmentally friendly
- Reduces dirt build-up significantly
- Suitable for wet and dry conditions (but best in dry/mixed)
- Extends chain and cassette life
Squirt is known for pioneering wax-emulsion chain lubes that prioritize drivetrain cleanliness.
Specifications
- Volume: 120ml
- Type: Wax emulsion chain lubricant
- Application: Drip-on (no heating required)
- Compatibility: All bicycle chains (9–12 speed)
- Conditions: Dry, dusty, mixed (light wet use possible)
- Drying time: ~2–4 hours depending on climate
- Finish: Dry, non-sticky wax film
How It Works
- Clean and degrease chain thoroughly (very important)
- Apply Squirt evenly to chain while rotating cranks
- Allow full drying time (wax bonds inside chain)
- Ride — excess dirt sheds instead of sticking
- Reapply every few hundred km depending on conditions

Cons
- Requires very clean chain before first use
- Needs reapplication more often in wet conditions
- Can feel less durable in heavy rain or mud
- Not as “instant” as wet lubes (needs drying time)
- Performance drops if applied over dirty chain
Who It Is Suitable For
- MTB riders (XC, trail, marathon)
- Gravel riders in dry/dusty conditions
- Road cyclists wanting low-maintenance drivetrains
- Riders moving away from oily lubes
- Cyclists who prefer clean bikes and low mess
Who Should Use It?
You should use Squirt Chain Lube if you:
- Want a clean drivetrain without constant degreasing
