This one’s for the speed freaks. Say hello to the world’s fastest race lube – Ludicrous AF. It's pure drivetrain dynamite!
This badass bottle of liquid magic has been in the works with our lab boffins for over three years. The result is a category-leading piece of exceptional science that marries unrivalled speed with sustainability, through cutting-edge research and innovation.
It’s the F1 car of bike lubes – stripped back to the bare essentials. That means no colouring, no fragrance, no additional corrosion inhibitor, just a unique blend of renewable and readily biodegradable ingredients designed to minimise chain friction and wear, whilst maximising performance in all conditions. This all means one thing – RAW SPEED!
With an ultra-viscous formula that makes its way into every contact point of your chain, smoothness and silence is guaranteed. So when you’re chasing the competition you can shift with the confidence that you’re using the best around.
Developed in secret over a number of years by Muc-Off’s in-house R&D Team, tested with INEOS Grenadiers, EF Education-NIPPO, BMC Pro Triathlon, Canyon//SRAM, plus other professional teams and athletes, Ludicrous AF takes drivetrain performance to a whole new level. Perfected throughout the 2020 Grand Tour season, with multiple podiums and overall wins at the last two Giro d’Italias, you simply won’t find a faster lube!
Calling all hardcore roadies, track racers & triathletes, the game just changed!
- Works in temperatures down to -20°C
- Pipette system for easy application

- Our highest performing, lowest friction lube used by global professional road, track, triathlon and MTB athletes
- Continues to improve with chain run-in due to continued surface improvement at a molecular level
- Outperforms competitor chain lubes and waxes
- Used throughout 2020 & 2021 Tour de France
- Biodegradable and sustainable
- Prolongs the life of your chain
- Super durable – re-coats friction surfaces
- Synthetic polymers for long-distance performance
- Great wear characteristics for incredible durability
- Low noise formulation
- Doesn’t wax up
- Fully degrease drivetrain thoroughly before lube application.
- Ensure the drivetrain area is dry. For optimum results, we recommend removing your chain before or after cleaning, and drying it thoroughly in an oven, to ensure all moisture is removed before applying Ludicrous Lube.
- Shake the bottle vigorously and apply a moderate amount of Ludicrous Lube to the inside of each chain link, whilst spinning pedals in a reverse motion. For optimum results, we recommend using an Ultrasonic Tank, to ensure total critical surface coverage.
- Apply the night before your race. For optimum results, we recommend allowing as much time as possible for Ludicrous Lube to work its magic.
- Wipe off excess lube carefully.
How to ensure your chain is in its optimal performance window
Ludicrous Lube will work straight out of the bottle, but for maximum race performance, the friction modifier should be activated first. The activation occurs during articulation of the chain by attracting the additive in the lubricant and adsorption occurs. With a new chain or a chain treated with Ludicrous Lube for the first time, a minimum of 2-3hrs riding followed by a clean and retreat will give optimum results. Then, pre-race, 30 mins of riding will get you to the absolute performance sweet spot. As the additives start adsorbing on either side of the contact, the formation of a low friction plane is initiated, and friction starts to decrease. Multiple cleans and retreats will continue to improve the performance as the chain reaches an optimised state.
Additional note: To avoid corrosion, clean and re-lube immediately after riding in wet conditions to maintain peak performance. Keep out of the reach of children.

World's Fastest Race Lube
Tested and refined over the last three years by the industry’s leading tribologists, Ludicrous AF has been pro peloton-approved for taking chain optimisation to an entirely new level. Thanks to their state-of-the-art R&D facility, the Muc-Off boffins have created a true masterpiece – an ultra-low-friction, highly durable lube which allows you to go harder and faster for longer than ever before.
Don't believe us? Take a look at our Performance Hub for the testing and results that led us to only one conclusion, that Ludicrous AF is fast as f**k.
