Bikeradar - The world is for riding

Purple Extreme gathers accolades wherever it’s tested, and with good reason. It was originally developed for offshore oil rigs to run chains in salt water, so there’s little that you – on your puny bike – can do to challenge its performance, and it won’t wash off with the first snowstorm of winter. It penetrates the chain quickly, ensures smooth running and is long lasting.

It’s a dry lube, so you must thoroughly clean your chain before applying a base layer. Allow this to dry before applying another. That will keep you going – with a quick hose-down and extra squirt after especially dirty rides – for longer than anything else.

At £9.95 for a 120ml bottle, Purple Extreme looks expensive compared with the wet lubes on test, but a little goes a long way so you’ll need to use much less.
