Review: Maxima Synthetic Chain Guard Chain Lube

I know it must be difficult for you to read about how perfect the products that we review are on such a regular basis. I must admit, it's a tough job playing around with the latest and greatest products in BMX, especially when they are pretty much all top of the range products, but someone has to do it. So to avoid any repetition we regularly invite guests to help us with the reviews. All we ask them is to be impartial and honest in what they say. This week we have bmxultra.com team rider Dane "Daneosaur" Pangallo giving us the run down on Maxima's Synthetic Chain Guard, but first here's the marketing information from Maxima.

Maxima Chain WaxContains no CFC’s!

Maxima Chain Guard is an advanced chain lubricant specifically formulated for today’s on and off road, high performance motorcycle chains. It is compounded with the finest synthetic lubricating bases and reinforced with the most advanced anti-wear and extreme pressure additives available. It also contains special additives to prevent “fling-off” and protect against rust & corrosion. Chain Guard is o-ring safe and makes an excellent lubricant for all motorcycle control cables.

Features

We had Dane use the lubricant for a number of weeks and asked him to tell us what he thought using bullet points. This is what he had to say.

Good Points:

Bad Points:

When using this product I found it very similar to most spray on lubes on the market in regards to the nozzle/nozzle extension style of the can and application, but where it differs is in the formula itself. It provides excellent lubrication and maintains that level of lubrication for quite sometime before you will need to re-lube.

You also do not have to use huge amounts, which is a bonus, and if you use a bit too much it's very simple to wipe off the excess with a cloth.

It not only lubes and extends your chain life but is also friendly on your wallet.

One thing I did notice is when applying it to the chain, it doesn't splatter over the chainstays like some of the other brands on the market.

So there you have it, another fine product from Maxima, but don't take our word for it. Check it out for yourself, what do you have to lose?

Rating 10/10:

Value for money: 5/5
Functionality: 5/5
