Product Details

Overview & Technology

Maxima High Temp Waterproof Grease (Part #80916, SKU 902560) is a lithium complex, NLGI Grade 2 lubricant engineered for demanding cycling and workshop use. The formula combines a high dropping point thickener with premium base oils and an advanced additive package to deliver stable lubrication across a wide temperature range. This grease features a robust antioxidant system and additives that resist oxidation, reduce wear and repel water. That makes it ideal for both everyday chassis service and more extreme applications such as wheel bearings, hub internals and exposed pivots where heat and moisture are common.

Key Features & Benefits

Performance highlights: • High dropping point for reliable performance under elevated temperatures and prolonged use. • Lithium complex thickener for structural stability and mechanical shear resistance. • Advanced additive package offering superior anti-wear, corrosion inhibition and oxidation protection. • Excellent water washout resistance—stays put in wet, muddy and high-humidity environments. • 16oz tub provides workshop-sized capacity for multiple services and routine maintenance. In real-world terms this means fewer regreasing intervals, reduced bearing wear, and dependable protection for hubs, axle interfaces and chassis components exposed to the elements.

Fit, Compatibility & Application

This lithium complex grease is compatible with most metal bearings, steel and aluminum interfaces, sealed bearings (when re-lubing permitted), headset cups, pedal threads, seatposts and linkage pivots. It is formulated to be elastomer-friendly with common seals and O-rings, but always check component manufacturer recommendations before applying to specialty plastics or proprietary bearings. For best results, clean old grease and contaminants from the service area before application. Use a small brush or spatula to pack bearings and apply a thin even film to mating surfaces. Avoid contact with braking surfaces—do not use on rotors or brake pads—and when switching grease chemistries, purge old product if different base thickeners were used to prevent incompatibility.

Who It's For

This 16oz tub is aimed at the home mechanic, trailside wrench, and professional shop tech who need a durable, high-temp grease suitable for mountain biking and aggressive trail use. If you service hubs, pedals, wheel bearings, dropouts or suspension pivots frequently, this grease delivers durable protection against heat and water intrusion. It's also well suited for bikepackers and enduro riders who demand long-lasting lubrication under heavy loads and wet conditions. For ultra-low-friction sealed cartridge bearings or proprietary shock internals, consult the component maker first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this grease on my bike's wheel bearings?

Yes. Maxima High Temp Waterproof Grease is formulated for wheel bearings and other chassis applications. Clean old grease and contaminants before packing bearings, and only re-lubricate sealed cartridge bearings if the manufacturer permits re-greasing.

Is this grease safe for suspension pivots and linkages?

Generally yes — the lithium complex base and seal-compatible formulation make it suitable for many pivots and linkages. For components that specify a particular suspension grease or assembly compound, follow the manufacturer's guidance to preserve warranty and performance.

What temperature range can this grease handle?

The grease features a high dropping point and is designed to remain stable at elevated temperatures encountered during heavy braking, prolonged freehub use, or hot hub bearings. Exact limits depend on application, but it outperforms typical general-purpose greases in heat resistance.

Will it harm rubber seals or O-rings?

The formula is compatible with most common elastomers used in bike components. However, if your component uses specialty plastics or non-standard elastomers, check with the part manufacturer before applying.

How much grease do I get and how many services will one tub do?

This product comes in a 16oz (approx. 454g) tub. For small-scale home servicing—hubs, headsets, pedals and seatposts—that quantity will cover many jobs; for shops or frequent servicing, expect multiple hub and headset services per tub depending on application and packing technique.

Can I mix this grease with other types?

Mixing greases with different thickeners can cause compatibility issues. Maxima's lithium complex grease will generally mix with other lithium-complex greases, but you should avoid mixing with calcium, polyurea or clay-thickened greases without purging the old product. When in doubt, clean and reapply fresh grease.

Buying Guide

When choosing a grease for bike maintenance, look for an NLGI Grade 2 lithium-complex product with a high dropping point and good water resistance — that balance suits most mountain biking needs from hubs to pivots. A 16oz tub like this one is ideal for home mechanics and small shops, giving enough volume for repeated hub, headset and pedal services. Consider compatibility with component seals and any manufacturer-specified lubricants. If you plan to service sealed cartridge bearings rarely meant to be opened, confirm that re-lubing is advised before proceeding. For extreme low-friction needs (ceramic bearings, specialty shock internals), follow the component maker's grease recommendations.
