Motul launches new motorcycle lubricants range

Motul has announced the launch of its new range of motorcycle lubricants. Motul says 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 as a benchmark in the industry for its high-tech products, Motul’s latest motorcycle range includes lubricants for four-stroke and two-stroke engines formulated to meet worldwide recognised industry standards, and the latest manufacturers’ recommendations.

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 claims to give a power increase of 1.30 per cent while the Off Road version offers a torque increase of 2.5 per cent compared to previous versions.

On top of this, Motul has targeted 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 optimised to improve life time and response of clutch discs in road racing and off road.

Motul tells us that the general four-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 per cent synthetic -- Ester technology -- four-stroke line is increased to four different products for the Australian market with the inclusion of the 10W50 viscosity in response to the latest manufacturers’ recommendations from BMW, KTM, Aprilia, and MV Agusta.

The 5100 Technosynthese -- Ester technology -- four-stroke lubricants formulation has also been improved and the number of viscosities remains the same with three different viscosity grades (10W30, 10W40 and 10W50) for the Australian market. The 3100 GOLD Technosythese four-stroke lubricant in 10W40 and 15W50 viscosity grades, and the 3000 PLUS HC-Tech four-stroke lubricant in 10W30, 10W40 and 15W50 are also part of Motel’s latest technology advancement.
