"Obviously, we put a lot of effort into making our components look good and last a long time, but at the end of the day, riders want components that perform. And that has always been one of our core tenets, too. Gold Grease reduces bearing drag and improves bearing life, so it quite literally makes you faster. It's also a more stable lubricant, so it extends service life, too."
"The testing results show measurable performance differences. Gold Grease produces 25% less drag than Silver Grease right out of the box. And, it maintains a 16% advantage even after 1000 miles of use. The lubricant also demonstrates what the company calls a "wear-in" effect. This effect occurs when drag decreases by 18% over the first 1000 miles compared to the initial performance. This addresses the balance between two key bearing characteristics: reducing drag for speed while maintaining long-term durability."
Gold Grease is a new lubricant formulated specifically for hub and bottom bracket bearings and released as part of a 50th anniversary announcement. Testing shows it produces 25% less drag than the former Silver Grease out of the box and maintains a 16% advantage after 1,000 miles. The lubricant exhibits a wear-in effect, reducing drag by about 18% over the first 1,000 miles while balancing speed and long-term durability. Gold Grease is marketed as more stable, extending service life, and is sold in 25g and 100g sizes priced at $15 and $29 respectively.
