The origin of Squirt lubes is a bit like a fairy tale. Three friends on a road trip together - a pharmacist, an engineer and a lawyer - decide to create their own chain lubricant because the existing ones just don't suit them. So in 2003, the first wax-based Squirt chain lubricant saw the light of day.

From the beginning, the goal was to create a functional lubricant that is not petroleum-based and will not build up contaminants. The result was a wax-based lubricant that forms a very thin film on the chain so that it does not become unnecessarily contaminated with dirt. The use of a wax base also makes the lubricant environmentally friendly.

Over time, Squirt has expanded its product portfolio to include low temperature lubricant, cleaner, hygienic protective cream and sealant for tubeless tires. All, of course, biodegradable and therefore environmentally friendly. All products are manufactured at the company's headquarters in South Africa.

Squirt's products are considered to be the top of the industry in the world. Used by bike legend Ned Overand, living icon of the world XC scene Julien Absolon, Bart Brentjens and his MTB team, bike rider Yana Belomoina, Ralph Naef. Dutch biker Rudi van Houts is involved in the development and testing of new products. In the Czech pond, the ČEZ budvar Tábor team led by Czech Cyclocross Cup winner Jan Nesvadba. The newly formed Vitalo Future Cycling team of Kristian Hynek will also use Squirt lubes products in the 2019 season.
