Thanks to its exclusive optimization treatment, the CeramicSpeed ​​Ultrafast Racing chain saves you watts and improves your performance with unparalleled free speed and low friction. Our ultrafast racing chains are carefully selected from high-quality suppliers and hand-optimized in Denmark.

This ultra-fast chain has been optimized for Shimano 11-speed compatibility, to increase the efficiency of the entire drivetrain.

UFO CeramicSpeed ​​racing chains can save you 2-5 watts over a 600km/370mile distance. Apply CeramicSpeed ​​UFO Drip after 600km to maintain peak chain optimization throughout the life of the chain.

Please note that the UFO treatment is not optimized for wet and muddy conditions, which could cause corrosion on the chain. More information on this can be found in the maintenance sheet.

CeramicSpeed ​​​​uses high-end brand chains that are subjected to an optimization treatment. CeramicSpeed ​​UFO chains go through a multi-step process, which involves polishing, cleaning, and applying two coats of treatment to achieve the most efficient chain possible. The UltraFast optimization process is not highly technical, but it is time-consuming.

The wax blend used in the optimization of the ultra-fast chains was discovered through intensive testing to find the fastest base. Subsequently, the base was optimized to achieve the lowest friction levels on the test rig. After further testing and multiple ratios of additives to base, the most efficient optimization formula was identified. CeramicSpeed ​​​​has taken the initial formula of the UltraFast optimization process and incorporated a couple of improvements on top of the traditional treatment, for better results.

The CeramicSpeed ​​UFO Chain is a racing chain, developed with the aim of offering unrivalled performance and will perform optimally for approximately 600 km/370 miles or potentially more in dry, clean conditions. After that, the watts saved start to decrease, your used chain will still contain traces of optimization and will perform better than a normal chain. Maintaining and oiling your used chain with a wax-based lubricant with Teflon® will extend the life of your chain, saving fewer watts than optimized, while still remaining above the level of a new standard chain. CeramicSpeed ​​​​recommends the use of UFO Drip Chain Coating for maintenance work.

The optimization process

Optimizing a UFO CeramicSpeed ​​chain is a multi-step process that begins with a polishing method of the link's sliding surfaces, removing friction-producing surfaces such as roughness and manufacturing imperfections. The chain is followed by a cleaning routine to completely remove inefficient factory lubricant and friction-producing contaminants introduced during the manufacturing process. The next steps require infusing the chain at optimal temperatures with the optimization mixture. For the final stage, Teflon® powder is applied to the chain. This entire process allows the sliding surfaces of a UFO CeramicSpeed ​​ultra-fast chain to have distinct lubricating layers that work together as a system for the highest chain efficiency available.

Within 600 km/370 miles, to benefit from all the advantages of the CeramicSpeed ​​UFO Racing chain, it is not necessary to wash the chain until you have passed the mileage. However, if the chain needs cleaning, use a dry cloth or soft brush and carefully remove any dirt from the chain. When removing the chain for maintenance or cleaning, remember to reinstall it in the same direction as before. In the case of a gentle shower, where the chain has not been exposed to water for more than a few minutes, the performance properties of the chain should not be affected.

In case of light rain, it is recommended to apply UFO Drip Chain Coating, after having cleaned any excess Teflon dust on the chain with a dry cloth. Allow the UFO drip chain coating to dry before riding.

In case of heavy downpours, you should coat the chain with a protective grease over the UFO treatment. This will slightly impact watt savings, but will protect the chain while still improving performance.

Maintenance

After 600 km/370 miles the chain can be serviced, keeping in mind that traces of the tuning remain on the chain. When using UFO teardrop chain liner, after 600km/370 miles, follow the instructions on the bottle. Note that the huge 2-5 watt savings are achieved within the first 600km/370 miles of range and decreases slightly after the UFO treatment wears off.
