Product Information

Full details

The CeramicSpeed UFO Factory Optimized Chain is designed for competitive road cyclists and triathletes looking to shave seconds off their personal records by reducing drivetrain friction. This high-performance component provides a verified watt-saving advantage during racing events; however, it is strictly intended for dry conditions, as the specialized racing lubricant is not optimized for protection against wet or muddy environments.

FAQs

Can I use this chain for everyday training?

While it can be used for training, it is optimized primarily for racing in dry conditions. For high-mileage winter training, a standard chain is more cost-effective.

What happens if I get caught in the rain?

The UFO treatment is not moisture-resistant. If you ride in the rain, clean and dry the chain thoroughly immediately after the ride to minimize corrosion risks.

Does this chain fit any 12-speed groupset?

This specific model is optimized for SRAM AXS Road 12-speed systems.

How long does the optimization last?

The initial factory optimization provides peak efficiency for approximately 650 km/400 miles.

How do I maintain the chain after the first 650 km?

Use the CeramicSpeed UFO Drip lubricant to maintain the chain's efficiency for the remainder of its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

The chain is showing signs of rust.

The chain has likely been exposed to moisture. Ensure the bike is stored in a dry environment and avoid riding in wet conditions.

Noticeable drop in performance after 700km.

The initial optimization layer has likely worn down. Apply a fresh coating of CeramicSpeed UFO Drip to restore efficiency.
