Soothe your drivetrain with Finish Line's Halo lubricant

Soothe your drivetrain with Finish Line's Halo lubricant

As a sponsor of multiple World Tour road cycling teams, Finish Line knows a thing or two about bike cleaning and lubrication. The company has been at the cutting edge of lubcrication innovation for nearly 40 years, and their first product was the groundbreaking Finish Line Dry Bike Lube with Teflon that changed the game when it came to drivetrain lubcrication. Fast forward nearly 40 years and Finish Line is still at the top of the game, as shown by their latest and greatest product: Halo. 

The Halo range has three products: a wax lubricant for improved cleanliness, a wet lubricant for durability and water-resistance and a hot wax melt for ultimate chain lubrication in all conditions. All three are powered by elite-grade ingredients including patented Spherical Tungsten. That Spherical Tungsten is what gives the lube its magic, reducing vibrational friction caused by high-torque pedalling. You wont be suprised to learn that those micron-sized particles are spherical in shape (amazing, right?) and further reduce vibration by creating a rolling effect on the surface of the chain. 

One very important thing to Finish Line when designing Halo was that it had no detrimental effects to the environment and it has been classified as non-hazardous according to both US and EU regulations, which means it contains no ingredients expected to persist or bio-accumulate in the environment. In fact, it's inherently biodegradable, reaching a level of <60% in 28 days. 

The other thing with Halo is that you're not just getting a lubrucant when you buy a bottle as it comes with Finish Line's very own, brand new Smart Luber (drip lubes only, not the Hot Wax Melt). The Smart Luber uses three specially-designed wicking pads to apply the lubricant to multiple sides of the chain at once, meaning comprehensive coverage and no spillage. The pads can be cleaned or replaced when worn, and each bottle comes with six replacement pads to keep you going. 

If Halo sounds like a bit of you, it'll be arriving right here on Freewheel any day now. Until then, you can check out the whole Finish Line range, including the amazing Speed Degreaser and the always-popular Super Bike Wash.
