Langenthal – Cleaning, care, lubrication: The Swiss care product and lubricant specialist is now adopting the tried-and-tested three-step approach familiar from its successful BIKE LINE range in its MOTO LINE product portfolio.
The two existing steps, CLEAN and CARE, are being supplemented by a third: LUBE. MOTOREX is also updating the product design with a focus on improving clarity. Other highlights include the two chain sprays CHAINLUBE ROAD and CHAINLUBE RACING that now feature an optimised formulation.
Greater clarity to make it easier to find the desired product: MOTOREX has updated and restructured its range of motorcycle cleaning and care products. Analogous to the way the BIKE LINE portfolio for bicycles is structured, the MOTO LINE range is now divided into three steps too: 1. CLEAN, 2. CARE and – recently added – 3. LUBE. The cleaning, care and lubrication products for motorised two-wheelers now sport a completely revamped design as well. Not only have the labels been given a fresh new look; a so-called performance box on the back of the pack provides a clear and concise summary of the product’s specific features and benefits. The prominently placed numbers 1, 2 or 3 indicate at a glance which category the product belongs to.
In addition, the CHAINLUBE ROAD and CHAINLUBE RACING chain care sprays now feature an improved basic formula. The result is even better creep properties and optimised sling-off behaviour. The benefits of both CHAINLUBE variants have recently been demonstrated in extensive field testing. The popular online platform 1000ps.com invited their readers to apply as testers. Ten each were selected by the editorial team to test the new MOTOREX CHAINLUBE variants over a period of 2.5 months of intensive use in everyday road traffic or on the racetrack.
To celebrate 20 years of cooperation with KTM: MOTOREX presents limited edition of popular engine oils.
To celebrate one of the most successful – and with 20 years also one of the longest lasting – To celebrate one of the most successful – and with 20 years also one of the longest lasting – partnerships in the industry between the two power houses KTM and MOTOREX, the latter launches an exclusive limited-edition run of two of its most popular engine oils: POWER SYNT 4T SAE 10W/50 and CROSS POWER 2T. These limited-edition products will be available exclusively at KTM dealers around the globe.
Two decades ago, it all started with a common understanding: coming in second was not an option for either of the two companies. The best solution was to build something great together.
Fast forward to present day, the two companies share 119 world championship titles: from motocross to supercross, enduro to rally, and Moto2 to Moto3. The passion to “exceed the limits” has paid off and was most recently represented with a victory at the 2023 Dakar Rally in January thanks to Kevin Benavides (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing).
It is obvious that this partnership extends much further, so let us leave the world’s muddiest, dustiest race tracks and let’s enter MOTOREX’s Race Laboratory and KTM’s R&D Department. There, under meticulous conditions, the findings from the race track are jointly analyzed to continually challenge the limits of what is possible.
Together with KTM, MOTOREX has the unique possibility to have access to the world’s best riders and teams to constantly test and further develop its products. I It is important to MOTOREX that aside from these race teams, that all other riders around the globe also reap the benefits of this competitive advantage. That is why MOTOREX products are not only made in Switzerland, but also engineered in cooperation with the world’s best motorcycle manufacturer.
In conclusion, it is anything but a coincidence that KTM has been recommending MOTOREX for 20 years.
So here is to another 20 years of being #RaceProven.
Another leading motorcycle manufacturer has chosen MOTOREX to be its official lubricant partner.
From January 1st, 2023, all Fantic Motor production and official racing motorcycles will be first filled with MOTOREX products.
Fantic Motor now relies exclusively on engine and transmission oils from Langenthal for its complete model range and all racing activities. In addition, the iconic Italian brand will recommend the high-quality products from the extensive MOTOREX MOTO LINE product range to its customers, for all maintenance and care usage. The new partnership benefits from the extremely diverse range of lubricants offered by the Swiss specialists. With production two-stroke and four-stroke bikes, road motorcycles, motocross, and rally bikes, as well as racing teams in motocross, enduro, and Moto2 world championships, Fantic and its official race teams will place a wide variety of demands on the oils.
EDI FISCHER, CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF MOTOREX
“Based on a strong tradition, Fantic is one of the fastest growing brands today and has always been characterised by a spirit of innovation and passion – just like MOTOREX. Together we want to write a success story and are very excited about this new partnership.”
RONALD KABELLA, DIRECTOR POWERSPORTS OF MOTOREX
“Fantic is another interesting partner joining the large MOTOREX family. With its roots in enduro sport, trials and motocross, the brand is an excellent fit for MOTOREX, as are its ambitious plans to expand the product range. We are looking forward to the cooperation and to contributing our experience and know-how gained from more than 100 years of MOTOREX history.”
Fantic, now based in Santa Maria di Sala in the Veneto region of northern Italy, was founded in 1968 and quickly enjoyed great sales success with small, smartly designed machines. Their scrambler look inspired many customers to go off-road and Fantic soon introduced its first enduro motorcycle. In 1974, the first “real” racing bike was produced – the 125cc Fantic CR. The bikes, which at that time still came from Lombardy, proved their abilities in countless enduro competitions. Then, in the mid-1980s, Fantic’s great era in trials sport began. The brand won three world championship titles as well as the legendary Scottish Six Days Trial seven times and rose to become the world market leader in trials motorcycles.
Today, the manufacturer is represented in the MX2 motocross class with the Fantic Factory Team Maddii. The Fantic Factory Team E50 Racing competes in the Enduro World Championship in the E1 and E3 classes, among others. The brand was already represented together with MOTOREX in the Dakar Moto Rally, which has just ended. Among others, Dakar veteran Franco Picco, at 66 the oldest participant in the 2023 edition, successfully crossed the Arabian desert on a rally machine based on the Fantic XEF 450 Factory. In road racing, Fantic will start with a team in the Moto2 World Championship in 2023.
