Flaer Revo Terra Chain Performance System


Ever felt the need to lube your chain while riding along?Well now you can, thanks to Flaer. Their electronically-controlled Revo Terra system drips lubricant onto your chain via a small dispenser on the rear mech, fed by a frame-mounted reservoir. This contains 54ml of lube and weighs 168g when full, and can be mounted to bottle cage bosses or frame tubes (with the supplied straps). The system has five modes, depending on how frequently you want your chain to be lubed. Reported battery life is 150+ hours. The Revo Terra doesn’t come cheap, but it’s claimed to improve power output and keep your drivetrain silky smooth.We’ll report back soon.

Price $375

Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.
