Squirt Dry Lube

This wax-based dry lube is, hands down, the best solution for riding in Baja. We’ve used it on countless trips and daily rides—through sand, water, dirt, and salt—and it’s never let us down.

It’s honestly impressive how clean the entire drivetrain stays, even after thousands of miles, just by using Squirt. A quick squeeze each morning on multi-day trips, or once a week for your everyday rides, is all it takes to keep your bike running smooth and feeling great.

But this lube isn’t just for drivetrains—it works wonders on zippers too. All zippers. Tent doors, bags, jackets… just add a drop or two inside the slider, and the zipper will glide better than it did brand new. You can also apply it with your fingers by rubbing it along the teeth. 

Now, it’s true that Squirt isn’t the cheapest option out there—but it lasts a long time, and for us, it’s one of those things worth investing in. Riding in extreme terrain like Baja means keeping your bike’s moving parts properly lubed and as dirt-free as possible is crucial.

We strongly discourage using oil-based lubes here. The dry climate makes the dust super fine and floaty—it clings to anything oily, gumming things up and trapping moisture. Over time, that can really mess with your drivetrain and compromise your components. In contrast, with Squirt, even when the rest of the bike is coated in dust, the drivetrain stays noticeably clean. That’s real proof of its quality and effectiveness.
