Motorcycle racing is part of the ELF brand DNA. The incredible adventure on tracks around the world lasts over 30 years, and there are many indications that there will be more amazing chapters in the future.
It is difficult to describe in detail more than a quarter of a century of achievements in motorsport, where technology and sports competition intertwine, creating a wonderful mixture of emotions that fans, riders, team members and business partners love so much. Therefore, from over 30 years of experiences that will be remembered forever, it is worth presenting the culminations that have changed a lot in the history of the ELF brand.
A challenging start to the story
In every field, the beginnings are a big challenge. In motorcycle racing, where the performance of all machine components must be at the highest level of efficiency, the arrival of the new manufacturer of engine oils was a breath of fresh air. Already in 1974, the brand recorded its first significant success. Phil Read won the championship crown among 500cc motorcycles.
Motorcycles signed with the ELF logo
Taking an active part in creating racing motorcycles for the ELF brand is something special. It would take hundreds of pages to describe all the innovative solutions, the difficulties in striving for even better performance and success. Most important to understanding what motorcycle racing is for an ELF oil manufacturer, it describes some of the following events very well. The story begins in 1978, when the world became acquainted with the ELF X. However, the real development of the brand's potential in the production of engine oils and motorcycles took place throughout the 1980s. It was at this time that the designs that have gone down in the history of motorcycle racing saw the light of day. Among others, the ELF 2 model with an innovative cyclo-frame suspension system, where some of its components were located under the motorcycle. In 1986, the ELF oil brand achieved its first victory in motorcycle racing, and broke as many as six world records at the Nardo race track in Italy. It is a golden age in the history of the ELF, as it shows the importance of consistency in action.
The present looks promising!
ELF continues the strategy established 30 years ago, which is to develop and support motorcycle racing. This commitment to WorldSBK, where Jonathan Rea has won championship titles on a Kawasaki motorcycle for six consecutive seasons, is a historic achievement. He has been cooperating with the Japanese brand of two-wheelers ELF for years! Also this year, Kawasaki and Jonathan are fighting for the championship crown!
Experience gleaned from the racetrack effective on the roads
From the beginning of the automotive industry, progress resulted, among other things, from the competition between drivers and manufacturers about who would make a better, faster structure. The situation is similar in the case of engine oils. The experience gathered from over thirty years of active participation in motorsport has a direct impact on public roads. The users of two-wheelers can use the highest quality engine oils that are tailored to their expectations. Proven in extreme conditions, the products perfectly cope with the urban jungle, on winding roads and during long journeys. Fans of a stronger unscrewing the shifters on race tracks will also find something for themselves. The ELF Moto 4 RACE 10W 60 oil was developed for them. It is an exceptional quality, 100% synthetic oil for sports driving, supporting performance, power and temperature resistance. The product has the unique ability to maintain the lubricating layer of the oil film in the most difficult engine operating conditions, at very high RPM ranges and under heavy load, which guarantees excellent engine protection against wear. Motorcyclists for whom optimal engine lubrication is paramount above all else, the ELF also has something special. The MOTO 4 TECH 10W50 proposal deserves special attention. It is an innovative synthetic lubricant that provides improved engine power, efficiency and cleanliness.
