Graphene consists of single-layer sheets of carbon atoms. This special atomic structure leads to quantum physical effects in graphene, which, among other things, makes graphene extremely friction-reducing!

The friction even decreases with an increasing number of stacked graphene layers. Completely crazy, but true!

And it is precisely this miracle material that we use for our products. To make you faster.

And how does graphite lubricate the chain then?

Graphite consists of several layers of carbon atoms. The binding forces between these layers are relatively weak, allowing the atomic layers to slide past each other with little energy.

What does this mean for the chain?

Steel on steel requires a lot of energy for one metal plate to slide over another. The graphite sits between the metal surfaces and shifts instead of the metal.

This reduces wear on the chain and sprockets, and we save energy when pedaling.
