Rolon Chain Lube is a purpose-made motorcycle chain lubricant designed for both standard and modern sealed chains (O-ring / X-ring). It penetrates and protects the critical pin-bush area while helping prevent seal rings from drying out. Sold by Under The Hood with fitment and usage support for real Indian riding conditions.
If your bike feels “jerky” on pickup, makes khat-khat / chain slap noise, or the chain looks dry after rain/wash, the problem is usually inadequate lubrication at the pin-bush area and surface corrosion. Rolon Chain Lube is formulated specifically for automotive drive chains to tackle exactly this—cleaner movement, smoother roll-on, and better protection against rust and wash-off when used correctly.
A key point riders miss: sealed chains (O-ring / X-ring) depend on the rings staying healthy. Rolon’s own product positioning repeatedly highlights preventing O/X rings from becoming dry (a common cause of premature chain wear and stiffness). That’s why this lube is a solid choice for daily commuters and tourers who ride in dust, water crossings, or frequent monsoon conditions.
Choose 150ml for personal use/top-ups and short trips, or 500ml for regular maintenance, multiple bikes, or workshop-style usage. Apply on a warm chain, let it set, and wipe excess to avoid fling and dirt build-up—this is the difference between “noisy chain again” vs genuinely smooth running.

INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE NOTES
-
Best practice: Clean first, then lube (don’t trap grit under fresh lube).
-
Apply on a warm chain (after a short ride) for better penetration.
-
Spray/apply on the inner side of chain while rotating wheel slowly (engine off, bike on main/paddock stand).
-
Let it set for 10–20 minutes, then wipe excess to reduce fling and dirt build-up.
-
Re-lube every ~500–700 km (street) or after rain/wet rides; adjust by riding conditions.
-
Maintain correct chain slack as per your bike manual—lube can’t fix wrong slack.
FAQ
Q1. Is Rolon Chain Lube safe for O-ring and X-ring chains?
Yes—Rolon’s own product positioning explicitly mentions preventing O/X rings from drying out, which indicates seal-ring-safe intent.
Q2. Will this reduce chain noise and jerks?
If the noise/jerks are from a dry chain, yes it often improves smoothness. If the chain/sprockets are worn, or slack is wrong, lubrication alone won’t solve it.
Q3. How often should I use it?
A common practical interval is every ~500–700 km for street riding, and after wet/off-road rides. Adjust based on dust/rain usage.
Q4. Is this a cleaner or a lubricant?
It’s a lubricant. For best results, clean the chain first using a chain cleaner/degreaser, then apply lube. Rolon lists separate chain-clean products.
Q5. Which size should I buy—150ml or 500ml?
150ml for personal/top-up use; 500ml if you ride frequently, have multiple bikes, or want workshop-style regular maintenance.
Q6. Can I use it on scooters?
Only if the scooter has an exposed chain drive (most scooters are belt/CVT—so chain lube is not applicable).
Q7. Will it work for all bike brands (RE/KTM/TVS/Yamaha/Bajaj)?
Yes—this is a universal chain-drive lubricant, not model-specific.
Q8. How do I avoid lube fling on the rim?
Apply lightly on the inner side, let it set, and wipe excess before riding. Too much lube attracts dust and throws off.
