For shining results:MOTOREX WASH & WAXWASH & WAX cleans and waxes in a single operation, giving your vehicle that unmistakableMOTOREX shine.

The secret is natural carnauba – the wax-likesubstance that seals your paint with a resistant,protective layer. Available in 1-, 4- and 25-litrecontainers.

Finishes washed with WASH & WAX dry fast. And of course this modern car shampoo biodegrades quickly. Whenever possible, use a soft cloth that is especiallydesigned for washing cars and has a terrycloth-like structure – it will be easier onyour paint and give you the spectacular shine you’re looking for.

MOTOREX-double-decker in GenevaThe Geneva MotorShow opened itsdoors in early Marchfor the 72nd time –and as usualMOTOREX andMOTOREX-TOPTECH were on hand in Hall 7.

This year’s exhibit had something new inthat visitors could view it from on high.

HUSABERG is known for its powerfulSwedish-built 4-stroke motorcycles. Since January of this year, HUSABERGhas been using cutting-edge productsfrom the MOTOREX MOTO-LINE in all the bikes produced at its plant inRöfors. The star performer isMOTOREX’s fully syntheticmotor oil POWER SYNT 4TSAE 10W/50, which is used inboth highway and racing ap-plications.

HUSABERG is totally dedicated to MOTOREX,

HONDA UK now racing with MOTOREXHONDA’s British factory team began the 2002 racing season in the World Supersport Championship class runningMOTOREX oil. MOTOREX POWERSYNT 4T fully synthetic oil gives theteam the rugged lubrication performanceit needs in its CBR 600F engines.

The main reasons that promptedHONDA to opt for Swiss quality pro-ducts were the broad scope of theMOTOREX MOTO-LINE, whichfeatures in excess of 50 products, andMOTOREX’s sophisticated engineeringcompetence. “MOTOREX puts somecolour into the English lubricants market,” says team leader Roger Harvey.“It may not be British Racing Green, but it’s still green all the same –MOTOREX green!”

The exhibit was modelled on our uniqueheadquarters building in Langenthal in a bi-level design featuring our strikinghigh-tech glass dome. The second leveladded 75 m2 to the 255 m2 basic floorspace.

We’d like to take this opportunity tothank you for visiting as in Geneva.

which is why its Enduro, Motocross andSupermotard racing teams all use high-quality “made in Switzerland” lubricantsin their world championship races.

Awesome!

CLEAN & CARE

Motorcycle engines place different de-mands on motor oils than do passengervehicles. In the case of passenger vehicles,the focus is on fuel economy and ex-tended oil change intervals, factors thatby the nature of things are not importantwith motorcycles. On bikes, engines of-fering increasingly higher torques andRPMs are being used to generate moreand more power. And this is where oil ad-ditives are causing the wet clutches usedon bikes to slip.

JASO MA offers an answerIn response to requests from leading mo-torcycle manufacturers, the Japanese Auto-mobile Standards Organisation (JASO) hasintroduced JASO MA and MB, the first specifications to applyspecifically to motor oils for 4-strokemotorcycles with wet clutches. These stan-dards set additional lubricant requirementsbeyond the spark-ignition motor oil grades defined by API or ACEA.

The JASO T 903 bench test determinescoefficients of friction under various oper-ating conditions compared with the refer-ence oil. The results allow oils to be divid-ed into two categories:

MA = Non Slipping OilMB = Slipping Oil

Coefficient-of-friction measurements thatconform to MA requirements guaranteethat clutch slipping will not occur underany load condition on even the most high-

performance racing bike. These values aretherefore specified by leading motorcyclemanufacturers.

The JASO MA trioMOTOREX MOTO-LINE offers three MA-compliant products with differ-ent base oil grades and viscosities:

And just by the way: all the above products are ideal too for 4-stroke motor-cycles with separate transmissions, such as BMWs or Harley-Davidsons.

M o t o - L i n e

In many 4-stroke motorbikes, the

motor oil lubricates the transmission

and clutch as well as the engine.

If a car-grade motor oil is used,

clutch-slipping may occur at high

power loads. But if you see the

JASO MA specification on the oil

container, you can be sure that the

clutch will always bite. • POWER SYNT 4T SAE 10W/60, 10W/50

and 5W/40: Fully synthetic high-perfor-

mance motor oil. Delivers optimum wear pro-

tection, extreme temperature and shear sta-

bility, and uncompromising clutch bite. Race-

tested.

• TOP SPEED 4T SAE 10W/40 and 15W/50:

Synthetic high-performance motor oil. Mini-

mum evaporative losses (NOACK)

reduce oil consumption. Prevents wear

and ensures smooth clutch engagement

and easy shifting.

• FORMULA 4T SAE 10W/40 and 15W/50:

The highest possible quality using con-

ventional base oils.Temperature-stable

and absolutely stable in lubricating appli-

cations, prevents wear.

H i g h l i g h t

Year 2000 was an exciting year for

MOTOREX – and not just because of

the new millennium. The packaging

engineers who developed the revolu-

tionary MOTOREX 1-litre motor oil

bottle with its integrated spout won

3 different awards: the SWISS STAR

2000, the SVI Design Prize 2000 and

the major European award EURO

STAR 2000. And just to cap this im-

pressive trio, the container recently

won another prestigious award:

WORLDSTAR 2001!

Recipe for success“Develop a unique container shape fea-turing strong design, stir in a generousportion of convenience, and voila: one-of-a-kind presence at point-of-salecompared with conventional packaging.The results should communicate High-Tech and an image of consummate manufacturing competence.”

Easier said than done. But MOTOREXalways sets itself high goals, and usuallyattains them too. Excellence in designnot only demands outstanding visual appearance, it also requires ease of useand handling – both for the end con-sumer and in the production process. But for MOTOREX, having a strikingexterior is still not as important as deliv-ering what really counts: outstandingproduct quality. After all, that’s what im-presses customers the most!

1-litre all-starWORLDSTAR 2001The coveted WORLDSTAR prize was awarded by a jury of experts from the internationally renowned WorldPackaging Organisation, headquartered in Sweden. 186 packages from 35 coun-tries received awards. Our new 1-litremotor oil bottle was entered in the retailpackaging category and impressed thejury with its ease of use and drip-freehandling, as well as with its additionaltechnical and logistic features. The bottle’s integrated flexible spout is thekey to its outstanding convenience.

The proud winners will accept this major international award at the upcoming INTERPACK 2002 trade show in Düsseldorf.

Formula 3 – forging new talentAnyone who earns his spurs in Formula 3has a realistic chance of joining motorracing’s Formula 1 elite class – it’s hap-pened many times already. But in the caseof the Swiss Racing Team SRT, which isbased in Root near Lucerne, things aremoving in the opposite direction. Thecore members of the team are from PeterSauber’s Formula 1 stable. According toteam leader and racing engineer OthmarWelti, “When we started the team twoyears ago, we took a very professional ap-proach – probably because of our past ex-perience. And that plus our talentedyoung drivers makes us a potential winnerin Formula 3!”

A challenging season aheadOthmar Welti and his team have a toughschedule of 18 races in 9 weekends aheadof them in the 2002 international andGerman Formula 3 championship season.Since we’re talking about the team, it consists of seven mechanics, three engi-neers, two support staff (catering, etc.)and one physiotherapist. SRT will usethree drivers and three cars with the latest F3 technology based on theDallara F302 with its carbon and Kevlar

Successful in GreeceMOTOREX has two partners selling itsproducts in the geographically large Greek market. MOTO MARKET hasbeen marketing the MOTOREXMOTO-LINE with resounding successfor some considerable time and IAPONI-KI S.A. is showing its strengths as an im-porter and seller of MOTOREX’s high-quality CAR-LINE.

Greece is very much a motorbike andscooter country, with a very high densityof bikes per head of population. MOTOMARKET is an expert in the motorcylemarket and enjoys a good reputation asthe importer of other brands familiar tobikers, including DIADORA, SPIDI, MI-CRON and GOLD. As a wholesaler,MOTO MARKET supplies over 800 re-sellers and a chain of its own outlets andfranchises.

By contrast, IAPONIKI S.A. is active inthe automotive spare parts business andoperates 12 branches throughout thecountry. The company has been in exis-tence since 1973 and now employs around

115 people. As its core business, it tradesin and sells spare parts and consumablesfor all Japanese and European car makes.

Swiss quality in demandWhat Greek customers appreciate mostabout MOTOREX is the top quality of its products, which proudly display theirpedigree in the words “Made in Switzer-land”. Moreover, MOTOREX CAR-LINE and MOTO-LINE are conqueringhearts all over Greece with their perfectlystructured, comprehensive range. MO-TOREX’s attractive POS displays set itapart from its competitors at the point of sale too.

MOTOREX has also made a name for it-self in its export markets through its long-standing sponsoring of bike racing.Names like Stefan Everts always spark off happy déjà vu experiences.

So the next time you go travelling in for-eign lands, keep an eye out for the famil-iar name of MOTOREX!

MOTOREX and its groundbreaking

products are well known far beyond

Switzerland’s national boundaries.

So it’s quite common for MOTOREX

products to be successfully marketed

in other countries, including ones

popular with European holiday-

makers. Greece is one such example.

You can even get MOTOREX on the island

tional oxidation. The metal is then divi-ded into the appropriate sizes for furtherprocessing.

Machining titaniumIn general, titanium can be machined inthe same way as steel: Turning, milling,drilling, tapping, cutting, grinding, etc.are all possible. In view of titanium’s special properties, however, certain re-quirements must always be observed. A high quality cutting oil likeSWISSCUT ORTHO 300 is ideal formachining titanium successfully.

SWISSCUT ORTHOMOTOREX SWISSCUT ORTHO cutting oils are based on an innovativeformulation containing low-aromatic,solvent-refined base oils, numerous spe-cial additives and fully synthetic compo-nents. They feature excellent cooling,

flushing, and lubricating behaviour andincredible wear reserves over an ex-tremely broad temperature range. Thisresults in optimum surface qualities at lowtool loads. ORTHO cutting tools arelight in colour, low-foaming and low involatility and odour. They also offer goodphysiological (dermal) compatibility.

Increased performance is particularly difficult to achieve with titanium due tothe necessity of reduced cutting speeds.However, a test using the workpiece shown here and a conventional high-performance cutting oil reveals that MOTOREX SWISSCUT ORTHO 300speeds up the machining process by about18%, thus contributing to a noticeableimprovement in equipment ROI.

Titanium – fascinating and demanding

Raw titanium sponge.

I n d u s t r y

When you see titanium being used,

you immediately think of very spe-

cial products. And for good reason;

the major users of this metal are

to be found in the aerospace, medi-

cal technology and watchmaking

industries. However, the outstand-

ing properties of titanium place

severe demands on machining

technology and on the capabilities

of the cutting oil.

Fascinating propertiesAmong the properties that set titaniumapart from other metals are its corrosionresistance and low specific gravity of 4.5 g/cm3. That’s 40% lighter than steel!In addition, titanium alloys achieve phe-nomenal strengths of up to 1000 N/mm2.This outstanding combination of pro-perties makes titanium extremely well suited for manufacturing components that are used in high-stress, lightweightdesigns, such as racing vehicles.

Titanium is the fourth most common metal found in the earth’s crust after aluminium, iron and magnesium. Titanium occurs in about 140 different titanium iron ores. The best known, and the one with the highest titaniumcontent (93 – 98%), is rutile. Ilmenite,which has a titanium content of between45 and 65%, is also a high-potential orefor industrial manufacturing.

How titanium is madeTo produce titanium, the titanium indus-try needs titanium sponge, a raw materialgranulate with a sponge-like structure.This mixture, together with the pre-alloys(such as vanadium and aluminium), iscompressed in a press that develops several thousand tonnes of pressure. These pressed blocks are then fused to-gether in an air-free chamber to form alarge smelting electrode. To achieve thenecessary homogeneity, the finishedsmelting electrode has to be re-meltedtwice in a vacuum arc furnace from whichall air has been excluded. The castingstructure of the 5- to 10-tonne blocks isthen destroyed by heating and forging theblocks under a press at loads between1,500 and 2,500 tonnes. Although titaniumreadily absorbs large amounts of oxygen,it is not necessary to exclude air from theforging and rolling operations, becausethe oxide layer that is formed also servesas a protective layer that prevents addi-Double-melted titanium blocks.

Did you know that . . .. . . MOTOREX is also inspiring future champions in Brazil?

We’re talking about Nicolas Rodrigues, who is all of 4 years old.Nicolas is crazy about motocross and MOTOREX. And he racesregularly in the Motocross Kids class (4 – 6-year-olds) and just keepsbringing trophies back to his home in Rio de Janeiro. His biggestdream: to be a professional motocross rider like Stefan Everts.

MOTOREX and all of our readers wish Nicolas the best of luck!

It’s a monster of a vehicle, powered by a37-litre Merlin V-12 steel-block engine,whose 1,500 HP once powered a Centu-rion tank. The oil system is filled with no less than 50 litres of MOTOREX. If you ask the master for the profoundthought that gave birth to his FamilyDragster, his answer is simple: “There is none. I was just trying to create a half-way civilised dragster.”

The Sbarro Family Dragster can be seen at various shows and at a specialexhibition that will take place from Mayto September 2002 in Grandson, not far from EXPO 02 in Switzerland.
