Test conditions
Test roads: 45% highway and 55% country road in different weather conditions
Test kilometers: 12,000 km

Solid lubrication was examined more closely once again in a long-term test covering 12,000 kilometers. The main purpose was to determine the wear on the chain set under extended stress. Naturally, all the other test parameters, from lubricating behavior to sling-off behavior, were observed during the test as well.

Conclusion
The long-time test once again confirmed the positive results of the other individual tests. Lubrication functioned flawlessly without fail during the entire test. A careful examination of the drive chain set also confirmed that all individual components were in good condition after 12,000 km. Even the X-rings showed no signs of damage. The service life of the lubricating rail was 6,000 km. Solid lubrication was once again able to prove first and foremost its ability to cleanly lubricate a chain in an extended test. After runs on dry driving surfaces, almost no soiling was found on the swing arm, rear wheel or frame. Soiling of the vehicle parts was minimal even on wet driving surfaces. Another noise measurement was also carried out during the extended test. Even after 12,000 km, there were no deviations from the reference motorcycle lubricated with grease. The test result can be found under “Noise”.
