What is Cyclowax and where is it made?

By Tom Bogaert · Reviewed on

Cyclowax is a Belgian brand that makes the most advanced hot wax system for bike chains — hand-assembled in a studio in Ghent. No oil, no wet lube, but a patented wax system that keeps your chain clean and fast.

The core is hot melt waxing: your chain is dipped in liquid wax that sets into a dry layer. No greasy gunk, no degreaser, no PFAS or forever chemicals. Cyclowax makes both the wax itself and the devices around it — from the Wax Heater to an automatic waxing machine that waxes a chain without removing it from the bike.

The brand is an official partner of World Tour team Lidl-Trek, with whom it developed the Race Wax formula, and is used by Unbound winners and Olympic champions. The Performance Wax Kit in this collab is their newest, most advanced system.

Why does a chain waxed with Cyclowax stay clean?

Because hot wax sets bone-dry while oil stays wet and sticky. Oil holds the sand and dust from the road — hence that black, greasy chain. With Cyclowax hot wax, dirt finds no grip and just falls off as you ride. A clean chain is also a faster chain.Read why hot wax keeps your chain clean and faster →

Why does World Tour team Lidl-Trek choose Cyclowax?

Because marginal gains matter at that level and a waxed chain genuinely delivers there. Lidl-Trek didn't just pick Cyclowax as a partner — they co-developed the Race Wax, tested on the pros' own bikes. The system you get in this collab is the same one ridden at World Tour level.Read why Lidl-Trek rides with Cyclowax →

Does Cyclowax contain PFAS or forever chemicals?

No. Cyclowax explicitly claims to be PFAS-free, with no forever chemicals. That's a real difference from many classic lubes: PFAS do lower friction but don't break down and, with a wet lube, wash off your chain into nature. Cyclowax gets its low friction from the dry wax itself.Read why Cyclowax is PFAS-free →

Which brands in Belgium work with sportfluencers as ambassadors?
