From a Small Group of Friends to a Global Family
Squirt Cycling Products started in 2003 with a clever gadget: a device the founders developed to let cyclists lube their chains on the fly, out on the road or trail. The problem? At the time, the commonly available chain lubricants were oil-based — attracting dirt and grime, turning chains black, and needing constant reapplication. Frustrated that no suitable lube existed for their new gadget, two lawyers, a pharmacist, and an engineer — all passionate cyclists — decided that if no one else was going to fix it, they would. “We are passionate about cycling and none of the products offered a solution, so we created it.” After extensive research and testing, they landed on something the cycling world hadn’t seen before: a water/wax-based emulsion that was more durable, lower maintenance, and self-cleaning — keeping chains clean in the wettest and driest conditions alike. This was the world’s first solvent free wax-based lubricant, tested and proven in some of the toughest terrain Southern Africa could throw at it.
Squirt Performance Hot Wax: A Game-Changer in Immersive Waxing
Squirt Performance Hot Wax achieved a record 11 350 kilometer run time in Zero Friction Cycling’s Dry Road Single Application Longevity Test. Widely referenced as the world’s most trusted independent test facility for lubricants and cycling chain performance, Zero Friction Cycling [ZFC] test results confirm what Squirt Cycling Products® ambassadors have been reporting since its launch in September 2025. The anecdotal evidence Matt Beers, in particular, provided has subsequently been corroborated by his and Tristan Nortje’s victory in the 2026 Absa Cape Epic.
