From everyday riders to bike shop staff, bike journalists to pro mechanics, Dark Energy Chain Wax is already getting epic feedback out in the real world.
Riders are calling out the same things again and again: a cleaner drivetrain, quieter running, smooth shifting and performance that delivers ride after ride.
Here's what they've been saying...
Bike Shops
“I am happy to say it’s my go-to lube! Well done Muc-Off!”
Emma, Bike Shop Staff, Hoops Velo
“Dark Energy is selling really well. Great feedback from customers too. Especially with it being quieter and cleaner! Loving it!”
James, Veloline
“We have tested it in the workshop and the truth is that it has left us with very good feelings. Dark Energy wax works very well: it leaves the transmission thin, clean and with a very good feel from the first use.”
Ciclos Bimont, Wearebimont
“Dark Energy has a much higher viscosity and chain penetration than a competitor product. It is far superior in quality and performance.”
Woko Bike
"I've ridden my gravel bike over 1700kms this year so far and Dark Matter by Muc Off has kept me rolling smoothly and efficiently. It's easy to apply and has quickly become my go to drop wax, now only if they did a melt version...."
Phil, 99 Bikes
"It survived the dry and dusty Dirty Riever and has kept my drive train clean and tidy”.
Stuart, Paceline Cycles
“Muc-Off Dark Energy is a very well thought out wax system with some very impressive performance figures. It’s very clear and simple to use, which is not always the case with some wax systems. I’ll definitely be switching over to Dark Energy from another well-known wax system that I have been using up until now.”
Julian, The Bike Doctor
“We have had customers requesting a good quality wax lube that doesn't cost the earth for a while now. As soon as Muc-Off released the Dark Energy Wax Lube we were inundated with requests. It's been hugely popular already with customers as well as the national race team we support - Reflex-Nopinz. They have given amazing feedback on how easy it is to apply and how smooth, clean and quiet their transmissions are.”
Adam, The Bicycle Chain
“Dark Energy is phenomenal! The staff are using this lube with great results, we love how easy it is to apply and the performance is next level. Needless to say it’s popular in store.”
Stu, Uprise Bikes
Riders
“Easy to apply, especially compared to competitors. Lasts longer too”
Peter G, Rider (Trustpilot review)
“Easy to apply, one of the best I've tried over the years.”
Linda Manson, Rider (Trustpilot review)
“Next Level Lube 👌 Easy to apply and my pedalling feels so smooth. Used the Wax Degreaser before to remove old wax and dirt. Then applied this. So far working well, lasted 200 miles without reapplication.”
Anon, Rider (Trustpilot review)
“I’ve been using Dark Energy on my race bike for a couple of months now - it’s become a staple part of my race day setup!”
Oscar, Schils-Doltcini Race Team
Journalists
“It delivers a very clean-running drivetrain and keeps things impressively quiet.”
Kevin Curry, Gear & Grit
“The drivetrain was indeed smooth and quiet under the pedals.”
Johan Hjord, Vital MTB
“Application is simple, the drivetrain stays clean and the wet-weather durability is surprisingly good for a liquid wax.”
Hugo, Gravel Passion
Pro Mechanics
“Dark Energy Wax is a real performance gain for us. Across all EF teams - men’s, women’s and development - we’re fully aware of the advantage it brings in reducing chain friction. In a sport where marginal gains matter, we’re not just happy - we’re genuinely excited about the performance it delivers. It’s a product that can help make the difference when it counts.”
Andreas Klier, EF Pro Cycling, Technical Operations and Commercial Manager/DS
“For a lube that wasn’t designed specifically for mud, this is seriously impressive. In some of the harshest mud conditions we’ve raced in, the drivetrain stayed smooth, quiet and consistent all race long. Where others would start grinding or losing efficiency, this just kept performing. Zero issues and total confidence from start to finish.”
Jerome Alex, Specialized Factory Racing, Head Mechanic
“Dark Energy is a real game changer when it comes to high-performance chain lubricants. Easy to apply and reliable in all conditions, it has quickly become a go-to product for our mechanics throughout the season.”
Thomas Damuseau, Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale, Operations Director
“Dark Energy is an innovation at the service of the drivetrain. It penetrates deep into the links for exceptional durability without the typical greasy residue. Try it once and you adopt it for life.”
Kevin Joly, Specialized Gravity, Finn Isles Mechanic
“It gives you total confidence that no detail has been left to chance. And at this level, that mental edge matters just as much as the physical.”
Cedric Ravanel, Commencal Schwalbe Les Orres, Team Manager
“Smooth and quiet shifting! Great.”
Fabien Boissonnet, Antoine Pierron & Tilly Boadle Mechanic
“The chain stays clean, no noise, doesn’t attract dirt”
Jules Auroux, Valentina Hoell mechanic
“With this wax, I really feel like the chain glides on its own—no noise at all. It’s impressive.”
Cedric Martin, Lisa Baumann & Evan Medcalf Mechanic
“I’ve been testing it for a few months and I’m super happy about it.”
Diederik Deelen, Velodrom, Head Mechanic
