FRENZY GUIDE
The right hot-wax setup depends on how you ride, where you do your waxing and whether you already own any equipment. In this guide, we help you choose between MELTLAB Pro, FRENZY TrailWax and the DIP ’n RIP Travel Kit.
Reading time: 7 min | For gravel & MTB
If you are starting with hot wax at home, MELTLAB Pro is the most complete setup. If you already own a wax pot, FRENZY TrailWax is all you need. For travel or training camps, DIP ’n RIP is the better choice.
Hot wax works best when your process is consistent: a clean chain, wax at the correct temperature, the chain fully submerged and enough time for it to cool and set properly. The right setup makes this process easier and repeatable. This is especially important for gravel and MTB, where your drivetrain is exposed to plenty of dust, sand and mud.
If you wax regularly and want to organise your maintenance properly at home, MELTLAB Pro is the best choice. It is a dedicated hot-wax heater with enough space for a bicycle chain, stable temperature control and a setup designed specifically for bicycle maintenance.
If you already have a wax pot or heater, you do not need to buy a full setup again. FRENZY TrailWax is the logical choice: a hot wax developed for gravel and MTB.
DIP ’n RIP is not a replacement for a permanent home setup, but a compact travel kit. It is ideal for holidays, training camps or riders who want to maintain a clean drivetrain while travelling.
