Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CeramicSpeed UFO Chain improve performance?
The chain undergoes a multi-step optimization process including polishing, cleaning, and application of a specialized wax blend that drastically reduces friction between links, saving watts and improving drivetrain efficiency.

Is this chain compatible with all 11-speed drivetrains?
This chain is specifically optimized for KMC 11-speed systems, ensuring perfect fit and performance on compatible drivetrains.

How long will the efficiency benefits last?
Optimal performance is maintained for around 650 km (400 miles) under clean and dry riding conditions. After that, benefits gradually decrease but remain superior to standard chains if proper maintenance is followed.

Can I use the chain in wet or muddy conditions?
The chain is not optimized for wet or muddy environments as moisture can cause corrosion. For such conditions, additional protective grease is recommended on top of the UFO treatment.

What maintenance is required to keep the chain performing?
Within the first 650 km, avoid washing the chain. Use a dry cloth or soft brush for cleaning if needed. After this period, apply CeramicSpeed’s UFO Drip Chain Coating to maintain optimization and prolong chain life.

Is installation difficult?
Installation is straightforward and similar to other chains. The package includes disposable gloves and a quick link for easy assembly. A chain tool is required to shorten the chain to the correct length.
