Swiss expertise meets Austrian racing excellence: from the 2026 season onward, MOTOREX and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing will enter a multi-year partnership in MotoGP™.
Under the agreement, MOTOREX will contribute its know-how in the field of high-performance lubricants, as well as clean and care products, through a structured development and technology exchange program with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. These products help to deliver maximum performance, reliability, and protection under the extreme thermal, mechanical, and operational stresses encountered in MotoGP™, ensuring optimal efficiency and durability throughout the entire race weekend.
Taking the Partnership to MotoGP™
The long-standing relationship between MOTOREX and KTM dates back to 2003 and has grown steadily over more than two decades across numerous off-road and on-road racing disciplines.
Following the successful involvements in Moto2™ and Moto3™ with the Red Bull KTM Ajo teams – highlighted by the Moto3™ World Championship title won by José Antonio Rueda in 2025 – MOTOREX is now taking the next step into the fastest and most prestigious motorcycle contest. The Red Bull KTM rider line-up brings together one of the sport’s most promising young talents in Pedro Acosta and the experience of Brad Binder, combining fresh ambition with established top-level performance.
“MOTOREX has been a trusted partner of KTM for more than two decades, and bringing this long-standing cooperation into MotoGP™ is a natural step. Their technical expertise and racing know-how perfectly match our requirements, making them a strong partner at the highest level of competition.” Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsports Director
From Track to Technology
The partnership reflects a shared mindset rooted in engineering competence, teamwork, and a deep passion for racing. Insights gained on the racetrack will support competitive success while also contributing to the ongoing development of future motorsport technologies.
“Partnering with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in MotoGP™ is an exciting challenge for MOTOREX. This cooperation stands for shared values such as engineering excellence, innovation, and uncompromising performance, while allowing us to further develop our technologies under the most extreme racing conditions.”
Andreas Vetter, MOTOREX Head of Powersports
