Does Cyclowax contain PFAS or forever chemicals?

By Tom Bogaert · Reviewed on

No. Cyclowax explicitly claims to be PFAS-free — no forever chemicals in the wax. That's deliberate, and it's a real difference from a lot of classic chain lubricants.

PFAS (so-called forever chemicals) show up in all sorts of lubricants because they lower friction, but they don't break down in nature and end up in soil and water through runoff. With a wet lube, part of that product simply washes off your chain as you ride. Cyclowax opts for a wax formula without those substances, and gets its low friction from the dry wax itself.

For you as a sportfluencer that's also an honestly sellable point: you're not promoting a product you'll have to defend afterwards. If you want to mention it in your content, stick to what Cyclowax itself states — PFAS-free, no forever chemicals — without building broader environmental claims on top.
