Proving savings of over 10 watts* against Ceramic Speed's Shimano Dura-Ace UFO Chain over a race distance on our dynamometer, the NTC is the culmination of thousands of hours of research and development into drivetrain optimisation. To create this revolutionary product, we sonic cleanse a Shimano Dura-Ace chain or a SRAM PC RED22 11 Speed Chain and then hand treat it with a proprietary nanotube formulation. Once in the hands of the customer, it simply needs to be run-in on a turbo for 4-6 hours before it reaches its optimum lubrication state. What makes the NTC so special is its ability to deliver wattage savings consistently over long periods of time and in all weathers. Other chains may claim to be the fastest but what they don't tell you is for how long and in what conditions. A major finding to come from Muc-Off's Development House was the shorter durability of Ceramic Speed Shimano UFO Chain. Whilst efficiency of this product was admittedly quite good in the first few minutes, registering at around 4.5 - 5 watts, this performance rapidly deteriorated after only 18 minutes! In comparison, the NTC only continues to get faster, with over 10 watts advantage against Ceramic Speed's latest treatment UFO Shimano Chain after four hours. In performance terms, this means that the NTC will give you a gain of 3 miles over a 112- mile Ironman bike stage, calculated using the average time of 6 hours and 25 minutes. Unlike other optimised chains currently available in the market, the NTC maintains its performance in all-weather conditions. *Over a 112-mile Ironman stage. Shimano NTC chain only. Features Incredibly low friction. Class-leading performance. For use in ALL weather conditions. More durable than wax optimised chains. Each chain is hand treated using Muc-Off proprietary process to maximise performance.
