ALMSTHRE was created by three cyclists from San Diego, CA, whose relentless pursuit of endless adventures has always been in their blood. They seek to go further, explore more and connect deeply with nature, themselves and others. To feel alive, they believe that one should never stop exploring the unknown. They strive to get out of the comfort zone and always move forward. The art of doing is what motivates and inspires them, while passion is what fuels them. Therefore, when there is no end in sight, they keep pushing forward, because they are ALMSTHRE.

TECHNOLOGY
A new generation of high-performance transmission lubricants
Muc-Off Dark Energy Chain Wax represents a new generation of high-performance lubricants developed in Muc-Off's research laboratories.
The project is the result of over four years of development, more than 8,500 hours of laboratory testing, and over 100,000 km of on-road and off-road testing by professional athletes and in-house testers.
The formula combines highly refined waxes with naturally biodegradable plant-based ingredients, creating a low-friction protective film that:
✔ reduces transmission wear
✔ improves pedaling efficiency
✔ keeps the chain cleaner for longer
Why Choose Dark Energy
Transmission efficiency
The low-friction protective film improves the overall efficiency of the transmission.
Quieter transmission
It reduces noise and vibration, ensuring smoother gear shifts.
A cleaner supply chain
Â
The wax-based technology repels dirt and contaminants.
Longer lifespan
Consistent performance even over long distances and under the most demanding conditions.
Designed for all types of cycling
Dark Energy is designed for road, gravel, and mountain bikers.
Its advanced formula ensures high performance in both races and daily training.
The result is a smoother, quieter, and longer-lasting transmission.
Developed in-house at the research and development laboratories of Muc-Off, Dark Energy is the result of over four years of work. The project involved more than 90 different formulations, over 8,500 hours of lab testing and independent machine testing, as well as more than 100,000 km ridden in real-world conditions by the in-house team and professional athletes.
The formula combines highly refined, next-generation waxes with a naturally biodegradable plant-based component. This blend creates a durable dry film barrier that ensures consistent and reliable performance in both dry and slightly damp conditions.
Designed for road, gravel, and mountain bikers, Dark Energy is suitable for both racing and daily training. The low-friction protective coating significantly reduces drivetrain wear and helps keep the chain clean longer, minimizing the need for maintenance.
The result is a smoother ride, quiet gear shifts, and greater overall drivetrain efficiency.
Dark Energy: the invisible force that enhances every ride.
