A Masterclass in Performance: Motul Dominates to Start the Season

Spanning road racing, flat track, drag racing, and off-road endurance, Motul partners secured eight major victories and a staggering 18 total podium finishes. This sweep across diverse racing disciplines reinforces the company's performance ethos and demonstrates that Motul's essential fluids are the lifeblood of competitive success.

A Masterclass in Performance: Motul Dominates to Start the Season

The legendary Daytona International Speedway served as the primary stage for Motul's supremacy. In MotoAmerica's King of the Baggers series, Motul-partnered riders from the Vance & Hines Indian Motorcycle team captured both race wins and claimed two out of three podium spots in each event. The Super Hooligan class saw even greater dominance, with Motul-sponsored Saddlemen Race Development executing a complete lockout of the podium in both races aboard their Harley-Dvidson motorcycles. The momentum carried to the nearby Daytona Short Track, where Kody Kopp and his Harley swept both nights of the American Flat Track Super Twins competitions.

This weekend was a testament to our partnerships with exceptional athletes and teams across the racing spectrum. We take immense pride in crafting the high-performance fluids that allow our partners' talent and dedication to truly shine.

Amber Bates, General Manager – Motul North America.

Beyond the Daytona, the success story continued.

At the NHRA GatorNationals in Gainesville, Florida, Motul took the spotlight with Suzuki-mounted Richard Gasden's victory in NHRA ProStock Motorcycle drag racing, a discipline where every millisecond matters. Simultaneously, in the Nevada desert, Motul's durability was put to the test in the Mint 400. Conquering 400 miles of brutal terrain, a Ciaran Naran of Hero Racing rode his Motul-powered Ducati to the win.

Motul's legacy of firsts continues into the 2026 US racing season, with a legendary start to an exciting year ahead.
