Silca SpeedChip – Permanent Efficiency Gains for Racing
When marginal gains determine race outcomes, Silca SpeedChip delivers measurable efficiency improvements that can make the difference between winning and watching from the pack. This isn’t temporary performance enhancement—SpeedChip permanently modifies your wax blend using the same exotic synthetic base oils found in SILCA Synergetic, creating the fastest wax treatment available for cycling drivetrains.
Proven Technology from Professional Racing
Visma Lease-a-Bike chooses SpeedChip for time trials and one-day classics because the performance gains are real and measurable. Testing confirms efficiency increases of up to 0.6% over SILCA SecretBlend hot melt when using two chips per 250g of wax. For competitive cyclists where seconds matter, that improvement represents a significant advantage over standard wax treatments.
Advanced Engineering for Maximum Speed
SpeedChip combines full synthetic wax technology with three different sizes of sub-micron and nanoscale tungsten disulfide platelets. This multi-layered approach reduces friction while providing anti-wear properties that protect your drivetrain components. The exotic base oils create an ultra-low friction surface that maintains its properties throughout the wax treatment’s lifespan.
Tunable Performance for Your Events
The modular approach lets you match your wax treatment to your racing demands. Add one SpeedChip per 250g of wax for 0.4% efficiency improvement, or use two chips for the full 0.6% gain when maximum speed is essential. The chips work seamlessly with StripChip technology so you can combine convenience with performance optimization.
Understanding the Trade-offs
SpeedChip delivers the fastest performance available, but this comes with more frequent reapplication intervals compared to standard wax treatments. For racers focused on peak performance during specific events, this trade-off makes sense. The efficiency gains during competition justify the additional maintenance between races.
Professional-Grade Results
Whether you’re preparing for time trials, crits, or stage races where every advantage counts, SpeedChip provides the technology that professional teams rely on. The permanent wax modification means consistent performance throughout your treatment interval, giving you confidence that your drivetrain is optimized for speed when it matters most.
For cyclists who compete seriously and understand that equipment performance can determine race outcomes, SpeedChip offers measurable advantages that justify its specialized application approach.
