Effetto Mariposa Flowerpower Wax
- Wax-based lubricant derived from sunflower seeds with water emulsion carrier
- Suitable for all conditions and disciplines
- Biodegradable, with high wax content over 50%
Rated as the best wax drip lubricant for reducing chain wear according to Zero Friction Cycling (ranking even better than several pure wax treatments), Effetto Mariposa’s Flowerpower Wax lube is unusually derived from the wax in sunflower seeds and other natural sources.
The brand has become known for its unique innovations in the cycling world, and the lubricant sits alongside their Végétalex Tubeless Sealant, which is made from ground olive stones.
The water emulsion formula contains over 50% wax, which is high, according to the brand, where competitors’ inclusion rates are typically around 30%.
Rather than rely on additives such as Teflon or sulphides, the formula is as natural as possible, and readily biodegradable, lessening the environmental impact.
