With below zero temperatures, cyclists need more than just a sturdy bike and proper gear to stay safe on the road. One crucial yet often overlooked component of a winter-ready bike is the tire sealant, as many sealants don’t perform in below freezing temperatures and coagulate. Orange Seal Subzero Sealant is the ideal choice for cyclists who ride through cold weather or store their bikes in unheated garages during the winter months.

Here’s why:

  1. Cold-Weather Performance
    Orange Seal Subzero is specially formulated to perform in temperatures as low as -20°F (-29°C), which is perfect for winter rides. Unlike regular sealants that can become sluggish or ineffective in freezing temperatures, Subzero remains fluid and active. This ensures it can seal punctures quickly, even in the bitter cold when you need it most.
  2. Prevents Freezing in Unheated Storage
    For many cyclists, storing their bike in a garage during winter is the reality. Unheated spaces can subject your bike’s tires to extreme temperature fluctuations, causing regular sealants to freeze or become thick and ineffective. Orange Seal Subzero’s unique formulation prevents freezing, ensuring your tire sealant is always ready to perform, no matter the temperature.
  3. Long-Lasting Protection
    The Subzero sealant contains unique particles that provide long-lasting protection against punctures, cuts, and thorns. This is especially important during winter months when debris from ice, salt, and road grime can cause unexpected damage to tires. Subzero not only seals but also stays effective for longer rides, reducing the need for constant reapplication.
  4. Easy Application and Maintenance
    Winter conditions can be challenging enough without worrying about complex sealant applications. With Orange Seal Subzero, you get an easy-to-use product that offers excellent coverage with minimal maintenance. It’s ideal for cyclists who need to prep their bikes quickly for winter commutes or weekend rides.When facing winter’s chill, Orange Seal Subzero Sealant provides cyclists with reliable, long-lasting protection against punctures, and it performs in the harshest conditions. Whether you’re braving a cold-weather ride or simply storing your bike in an unheated garage, this sealant ensures that your tires are always ready to roll, no matter what the temperature brings.
