Motul prepares for its busiest Isle of Man TT yet
Leading Motorcycle lubricant brand Motul is set to return to the Isle of Man TT as one of the race meeting’s major partners for the 2026 running of the event.
Racing begins in earnest on Saturday 30th May and will run throughout the whole of the following seven days – with the action covering various categories from the Superbikes that contest the Senior TT, through more road-oriented – but almost as rapid – Superstock machines, to the smaller engined Supersport/Sportbike bikes and, of course, the Sidecars.
Motul has been a leader in motor sport lubricants and fluids for more than three quarters of a century, and the Motul partnership with the Isle of Man TT now stretches back over a decade and a half.
For Motul, the TT offers perhaps the ultimate opportunity to demonstrate the quality of the brand’s iconic 300V lubricant, which is still – 55 years after it was introduced as the world’s first fully synthetic automotive engine oil – the standard by which other oils judge themselves.
“Motul is once again proud to be one of the TT’s main partners,” enthuses Andy Wait, Motul UK and Ireland’s head of business, “and, of course, as well as the event itself – which we are delighted to support – we also have partnerships where we help teams and riders in all categories along the length and breadth of the paddock.”
This year Motul is partnering no less than 11 bike teams, among which are many of the top riders who will be contesting for TT honours. The event also offers Motul the chance to interact with the more than 50,000 spectators – many thousands of them on their bikes – who make the pilgrimage to the Island for this unique and iconic slice of motorsport.
The Motul brand will be visible around the 37.73-mile (60.72 km) road course, but Motul’s focal point will be its enclosure, which is this year situated behind the main grandstand.
Visitors will be able to learn more about Motul’s role as an essential fluids innovator and this year that includes the chance to see, first hand, live blending demonstrations by the Motul technical staff, of Motul’s latest pioneering development: NGEN Core Technology lubricants.
This gives visitors the chance to discover what the re-refined base oils, and the various additives that comprise the blend, look like – as well as how they come together to ensure that Motul’s next generation technology for oils can offer market leading sustainability with zero performance compromise.
Visitors will also be able to meet the Motul riders in person at various times throughout the course of the TT.
