Cobrra is a new Slovakian company which released a ground-breaking product. Its Nemo 2 is an independent system which automatically lubricates the motorcycle’s chain while riding. This way the chain never has to work without oil which is something that increases the chain’s lifetime. So, you don’t have to struggle lubricating your chain every once in a while, which can be a headache, especially if you don’t have a centre stand on your bike. While riding, you just rotate the container of Nemo 2 90 degrees clockwise and it will take care of the rest… It doesn’t get any easier!

The only thing you have to do to lubricate the chain is to rotate Cobrra Nemo 2 90 degrees clockwise!

   When you travel around Africa, it’s always a trouble to find a chain lubrication spray. They are just not available in most countries. But now I don’t have to carry any spray! One thing less in my luggage 😉 I can feed Nemo 2 with any kind of oil, preferably 80W90 gear oil, which is widely available even in Africa.

   Another advantage is than I can lubricate my chain right when it needs to, for instance, after rain or a dusty off-road ride. By rotating the Nemo 2 180 degrees, you can flush your chain with more oil, which is very useful when you come out of a desert and you want to get rid of that nasty sand… Each lubrication cycle lasts between 150 and 350 km (93 to 217 miles), depending on your speed and the weather conditions. Each container full of oil can last up to 5,000 km (3,107 miles).

The oil is dispensed on the chain through this hose.

   The most important advantage of Cobrra Nemo 2 against other automatic lubrication systems is its reliability. Nemo 2 is absolutely independent. It works with pressure which is formed in its container. That means it doesn’t need vacuum or even electricity, so you don’t have to make any nasty modification to your bike and nothing can go wrong. Nemo 2 is robust even for thousands of kilometers in rough off-road conditions and that’s what is important for me.

   So, now my rides are more peaceful and enjoyable since I have one thing less to care about. I am glad I have the Cobrra Nemo 2 along my expedition on the African continent!
