MOTUL, worldwide experts in the field of high-tech lubricants for use on-road, off-road and in race full competition, announce the launch of its new range of motorcycle lubricants. The latest evolution to be produced and marketed by the French company reflects the company’s constant search for the latest technologies and its empathy with its core markets.
Known and respected as a benchmark in the industry for its high-tech products, MOTUL’s latest motorcycle range includes lubricants for 4-Stroke and 2-Stroke engines formulated to meet worldwide recognised industry standards: API¹, JASO², and the latest manufacturers’ recommendations.
Over several decades, MOTUL has consistently improved the performance of its motorcycle lubricants through development of its own unique type of ESTER, with the latest result being the introduction of ESTERCore® technology. This technology combines carefully chosen esters with an optimal selection of top quality synthetic base oils coupled with an innovative additives package.
Involved in the highest levels of motorsport, Motul has developed specific motorcycle lubricants for racing under the brand Factory Line to deliver extra power and higher torque. Specifically, the new 300V Factory Line Road Racing gives a power increase of 1.30% while the Off Road version offers a torque increase of 2.5% compared to previous versions. On top of this, MOTUL has targeted in its development improvements in two other critical areas; the gearbox and the wet clutch. The new 300V provides outstanding extreme pressure properties to protect highly loaded gearboxes while the clutch friction indexes have been optimized to improve life time and response of clutch discs in Road Racing and Off Road.
The general 4-stroke range also benefits from the latest motorsport-developed technologies, meeting JASO MA2 specification which is the most efficient friction level. The new 7100 100% synthetic 4-Stroke line is increased to seven different products with the inclusion of three new viscosities (5W40, 10W50, 10W60 and 15W50) in response to the latest manufacturers’ recommendations from BMW, KTM, APRILIA, and MV AGUSTA. The 5100 Technosynthese® 4-Stroke lubricants formulation has also been improved and the number of viscosities remains the same with four different viscosity grades (10W30, 10W40, 10W50 and 15W50).
In addition to technological advances, Motul has revised its label design to reinforce its position as a specialist in the motorcycle markets. Priorities were given to the MOTUL brand, to key product information on the front label such as quality, product name, MA2, and the application visualized through an image of a motorcycle specific to each product. The 300V Factory Line has not been left behind and adopted a new design in red and black to emphasize its Racing value.
