Perhaps not as well known in the U.S. as some other cleaner and lubricant brands, Morgan Blue is extremely well known around the world – especially in the pro peloton. Said to have been on 60% of the chains and 20% of the legs of the World Tour riders, Morgan Blue has an extensive line of bike oils, protectants, and cleaners as well as a full line of massage products.
Originally selling lubricants for the automotive and farm industries in Belgium, Morgan Oils as it was then called was asked to produce bicycle lubricants by former Lotto team mechanic Nick Vandecauter. As so many stories go, the products were a hit and the company began sponsoring pro tour teams without selling anything to consumers. It wasn’t until the company was working on developing a chain cleaner that Morgan “Blue” got their name after their degreaser turned blue as they were developing it.
Twenty years later and Morgan Blue had a catalog of 53 maintenance products and 15 skin care products in 2014. And that selection is still growing. Check out some of the more interesting new products next…
Like other polishes on the market, Morgan Blue’s Carbon Polish is designed to remove stains from carbon frames while leaving a protective finish that will repel dirt. Safe for the finish on carbon frames, the polish is great for most carbon frames. What happens when you have a carbon frame with a matte finish that you don’t want to end up shiny? You bust out the new Carbon Cleaner Matt. Created to work as a cleaner for all matte frames and components, the cleaner is also rubber and plastic safe.
On the chain lube side, the Extra Dry Lube has a new formula that should perform better than ever. Now perfectly clear, the lube is meant for mountain biking or cyclocross applications to keep the chain clean by aggressively repelling water and dirt.
No, the new Cleaning Glove isn’t for washing the team car (though you probably could). This one is self explanatory. It’s a glove with microfiber cleaning fingers that are perfect for fast cleaning of your bike whether in the pit or your garage. Just another way Morgan Blue is keeping the bikes of the world running smooth.
