Motorex Bike

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I use Motorex’s color‑coded Step system for a complete bike service?

  Start with Step 1 CLEAN (light blue) to degrease chains, cassettes, and frames, then apply Step 2 CARE products like BIKE MATT CARE or BIKE SHINE SPRAY to protect and finish the paint/plastics, and finish with Step 3 LUBE such as CHAINLUBE ALLROUND or CHAINLUBE FOR WET CONDITIONS for drivetrain protection. The color coding and sequence ensure thorough removal of contaminants before applying waxes or lubricants, improving adhesion and longevity.
• Which chain lube is best for muddy mountain rides versus daily commuting and e‑bikes?

  Use CHAINLUBE FOR WET CONDITIONS for muddy, wet, or high‑abrasion mountain rides because it prioritizes adhesion and corrosion protection under water and grit. For commuting, high‑mileage, and e‑bike/pedelec use choose CHAINLUBE ALLROUND — its fully synthetic formula offers long‑term adhesion, water resistance, and reduced chain noise under higher torque.
• Are Motorex Bike Line products safe to use on carbon, aluminum, and painted finishes?

  Yes, many Motorex formulas are engineered for material compatibility: CARBON PASTE is formulated for carbon/aluminum interfaces, BIKE MATT CARE is wax‑based and safe on matt paint and plastics, and cleaners in the CLEAN series remove contaminants without harming frames or components. Still follow product directions and avoid applying degreasers directly to disc brake rotors or pads.
• When should I use workshop fluids like BIKE GREASE 2000, CARBON PASTE, or DOT 5.1 brake fluid during maintenance?

  BIKE GREASE 2000 is ideal for pivots, wheel bearings, pedals, and seatposts to prevent wear and water ingress; CARBON PASTE prevents slippage and galvanic corrosion on carbon/aluminum assemblies; use DOT 5.1 brake fluid for hydraulic brake bleeding and maintenance — it has a high dry boiling point (about 180°C/355°F) suitable for modern systems. Follow torque and contamination guidelines when assembling or servicing components.
• How do Motorex’s biodegradable labels and fully synthetic bases affect performance and environmental impact?

  Motorex uses fully synthetic base oils and wax formulas to deliver durable adhesion, steam/water resistance, and reduced friction, while selected products carry BIO OECD 301B/302 labels (e.g., >60% biodegradable under OECD 301B in 28 days) to lower environmental persistence. That combination aims to balance high performance for racing and e‑biking with improved biodegradability for routine maintenance runoff.
