MXLR New Formulation V2 Oils

Germany’s MXLR has released a new V2 formulation of its Ball Bearing oil and its Driveshaft & Gears oil. The newly refined Ball Bearing oil was developed once again in close collaboration with a specialised German manufacturer and is further optimised to reduce rolling resistance even more efficiently and ensure a freer drivetrain with reduced power loss. The new light-blue coloring helps easily distinguish it from the original version and makes application more visible. Ultra-thin consistency means just 1–2 drops are enough to penetrate sealed bearings and deliver long-lasting performance and protection. The new V2 Driveshaft & Gears oil offers improved wear protection, stronger adhesion, and still maintains exceptional freedom of movement. Even under high RPM, the oil continues to lubricate critical components reliably. As before, both oils come in 10ml bottles with precise metal tip to ensure clean and effortless application.
