New instrumentation in the MOTOREX laboratoryMOTOREX is continuously investing in the research and development of new products andtechnologies. The results are well-engineeredproducts which prove their worth by deliveringtop performance under the toughest conditions.But high performance requires optimum condi-tions. New instruments are continually being developed to deliver faster and more accurateanalyses and to automate some of the processesthat take place in the chemical and engineeringlaboratory. One example is the recently in-stalled automatic analyzer which accommodatesup to sixteen different samples at a time. Such instruments are especially useful for largesample series of cooling lubricants, corrosioninhibitors etc.

The measurement results are processed elec-tronically and provide the chemists with fast,reliable information. Information which helpsto bring out the peak performance you can ex-pect from every product in every application.

For the 74th time, themotto was “to see and to beseen” at the 2004 GenevaInternational Motor Show.

BUCHER MOTOREX once againwent all out with their impressive two-level display in building 7. What’s more,all the available display space was fullybooked again this year – even despite themassive increase in floor space.

With its 300 m2 exhibit the BUCHER-MOTOREX Group was able to give interested parties an impressive presen-tation of its core competencies.

Geneva always proves to be a usefulsource of new and valuable leads, espe-cially for export markets.

Thanks for visiting us in Geneva!

4-stroke innovation

The current crankshaft for the KTM 250 SX

is roughly 200 g lighter. The engine responds

instantly and revs up without hesitation.

The pistons, moving at up to 36.7 meters

per second, are separated from the cylinders

by a clearance of only 0.04 millimeters.

tected from wear. The purpose of these increasingly tighter clearances is the bestpossible utilization of the combustionpressure.

Fully synthetic CROSS POWER 4T SAE 10W/50With the development of its new multi-viscosity CROSS POWER 4T motor oilin SAE 10W/50, MOTOREX has brokennew ground in the advancement of thelatest generation of high-performance 4-stroke bike engines. Fully synthetic baseoils and a sophisticated additive packageguarantee that the lubricant will meet thestringent demands placed on it over itsentire range of application. Proven on the racecourse, the outstanding couplingbehavior of CROSS POWER 4T is con-vincing, and it prevents undesired slip-page of multiple-disk clutches in the oilbath under all conditions. This feature isunderscored by compliance with theJASO MA specification.

In close cooperation with KTM and various motocross teams, CROSSPOWER 4T was tested over a long pe-riod under every conceivable condition. It is therefore eminently suitable for usein the latest generation of all 4-stroke off-road bikes.

Engines revving, front tires are strainingagainst the bars of the starting gate; onlyseconds to go before the pack is released…these are tense moments that every motocross competitor knows intimately. Inside the engine, the same tension isbuilding. With lightning response, themoving parts on the crankshaft must accelerate to the required speed and musttransfer the torque with the minimum possible loss. Front-cover starts of the type delivered by multiple-time worldchampions such as Stefan Everts are pos-sible only with the correct material and absolute mastery of the sport.

Increasingly lighter 4-stroke enginesNew materials and manufacturing process-es enable tremendous savings in weight.Coupled with multiple-valve technologyand modern ignition systems, maximumpower can now be wrung out of every drop of fuel. The results are instant re-sponse and significantly higher output and torque over a wide range of speeds.Achieving these goals also involves in-creasingly tighter clearances. In a KTM450 SX Racing engine, only 0.04 millime-ters separate the piston from the cylinder.Given their average piston velocity of 36.7 m/s, the metal surfaces must slide on a hydrodynamic film of motor oil at alltimes in order to ensure that they are pro-

The days of sluggish one or two-

cylinder 4-stroke engines for motor-

cycles are past. The latest models

demonstrate that modern 4-stroke

engines still harbor significant poten-

tial for performance. Motor oil plays

a significant role as a “construction

More than just a sloganBut “CHALLENGE THE LIMITS” differs from ordinary slogans in yet an-other important way. Just as it holds fortop drivers in extreme situations and forour customers in their everyday chal-lenges, it is also a motto which applies tothe MOTOREX brand and to our per-sonnel. Every day, more than 200 highlymotivated employees are hard at work onthe further development, production andmarketing of MOTOREX products, put-ting all their energy into securing ourcontinued lead.

That’s what “CHALLENGE THE LIMITS” is about. That’s what MOTOREX is about.

Born on the racetrack“CHALLENGE THE LIMITS” was born on the racetrack, where world-classdrivers repeatedly give their best and continually increase their performance. No question that the choice of motor oil is critical in such extreme situations.Thanks to MOTOREX, countless worldchampions and peak athletes can implicitlytrust their materials, always reaching newlevels of performance.

But racing is only one side. In “CHALLENGE THE LIMITS”,everyday challenges are just as important.These not only have to be met, but newlimits have to be actively sought out and redefined, working together with an equally ambitious, professional and inno-vative partner – MOTOREX. This is themessage of MOTOREX’s new advertisingplatform.

“CHALLENGE THE LIMITS”:

This is the slogan of the MOTOREX’s

new advertising campaign.

To “CHALLENGE THE LIMITS” means

pushing to new boundaries, defining

them and overcoming them. Only by

pushing on where others remain

standing the impossible can be

made possible. No matter how high

you set your goals, MOTOREX has

the oil to get you there.

Think extreme.Think beyond.

“CHALLENGE THE LIMITS”uses four eye-catching motifs from the automotive, motor-cycles, agriculture and transportsegments to promote theMOTOREX name.

World class in shock absorbersThe company was officially founded in1977 by Wim Peters. WP Suspension immediately realized the great importanceof perfectly matching shock absorptionand suspension to the vehicle. The directconsequences are not only victories inmotor sports, but also driving comfortand safety, factors which are anything but unimportant. The company ploughed significant resources into research andproduct development, and this was quickly reflected in a product spectrumwith an amazing breadth and depth.

Only one level of quality – the highestFrom the very beginning, the outstandingquality of WP products was another win-ning selling point. Absolute customer satisfaction was defined as the primary objective. Every day the company moveda little closer to its goal by focusing onzero margin of error and precision pro-cessing. WP Suspension spared no ex-pense and created no less than 11 full-time positions for quality inspectors! Relevant information from all areas, suchas the production process, is documentedin words and images in a quality databaseand routed directly to the relevant per-

sons. This facilitates a continuous learn-ing process for all participants, resultingin ongoing improvements in quality. Finally, each individual product under-goes functional testing and visual inspec-tion on a test stand at the end of each production line. This commitment toquality has brought the Dutch manufac-turer worldwide renown.

In renowned makes of motorcycleWP Suspension’s great expertise and con-tinuous search for innovative technical solutions quickly made the company a valued partner of renowned motorcyclemanufacturers. WP Suspension has thusbecome the original equipment manu-facturer for KTM, Husaberg, BMW andothers. In parallel, the after-market prod-uct line was extended and professionalsupport was offered to racing teams.These successes reached all the way toFormula 1 competition, where MichaelSchumacher took the world title in both1994 and 1995 in a Benetton Fordequipped with special WP shock ab-sorbers. Racing has always been known at WP Suspension as “Shock AbsorberUniversity”. Only there it is possible togather experience at the absolute limit –

with the very pleasant side effect of win-ning several world titles by the case!

New headquarters in Malden,HollandFollowing calculation of damping andspring parameters and further develop-ment work, the prototype departmentproduces several shock absorbers for eachspecific application. This is followed bytests on the test stand and in real life set-tings. With their many years’ experience,the trained experts at WP Suspension candirectly apply the fine art of perfectlymatching a shock absorber to a chassis. As a technology partner, MOTOREXworks closely with the specialists fromMalden. What’s more, WP products are factory-filled with high-qualityMOTOREX lubricants.

At its new headquarters in Malden, in the province of Gelderland in eastern Holland, WP Suspension has over10,000 m2 of space at its disposal,combining all areas from researchthrough production to storage andtechnical services under a singleroof. Over 67,000 front forksand 84,000 highest-qualityshock absorbers and furtherhigh-end components areproduced annually on mod-ern computer-controlledproduction facilities.

Sales growth last yearwas over 30%! Andthe products are suc-cessfully distributed aroundthe world through a dense networkof 26 importers.

No other manufacturer of shock

absorbers can look back upon so

many successes in motorcycle racing

or series production as WP Suspen-

sion. But a fast motorcycle isn’t even

ridable until it has perfect shock

absorption and suspension.

The WP success story has its roots in motor

sports. This can be seen in the countless

championship titles.

Over 180 employees work at the modern

headquarters in Malden, Holland. Sales in

2003 totaled roughly 34 million euros.

MOTOREX v gymax-technology

Remarkable technical advancesIt goes without saying that predictionslike this catch ears in the metal turningsector. Since the first beginnings of seriesproduction with optimized cutting dataroughly 10 years ago, remarkable techni-cal advances have been achieved in the areas of machine-tools, tools, machiningfluids and materials.

The choice of the right cutting oils is alsoimportant for the perfect interaction be-tween the mentioned factors. Here aswell, it is clear that time has not stoodstill, as is witnessed by the newMOTOREX vmax-technology and theground-breaking cutting oils from theSWISSCUT ORTHO family.

Chemical synergy effects from heatUntil now, the goal was to prevent anddissipate any heat generated as efficientlyas possible. This is no longer the casewith the new vmax-technology from

MOTOREX. When machining at maxi-mum processing speed, a specifically defined high temperature can triggerdesirable chemical synergy effects at thecrucial moment, and in so doing open the path to an exponential increase in performance. In the past, attempts of thistype regularly went up in smoke; now re-producible success can be achieved withoptimized parameters and cutting rates.

Hefty increasing performanceThis performance increase is directly coupled to the use of low-aromatic, sol-vent-refined base oils, combined in a newway with synthetic active components and special vmax-additives. The results are above-average tool service life withoutstanding surface quality – and a heftyincrease in performance.

vmax-technology is put to the testMachining is a precise field, the most important parameters of which are ofcourse cutting and feed rates, surfacequality, tool service life and of course theoutput rate per machine hour. A real-lifetest was therefore recently performed ona modern CNC machine at a neutral site,where the operator pushed the machinestraight to its performance limits.

The tool service life and output rate for a modern, high-quality cutting oil werecompared with the tool service life andoutput rate for MOTOREX ORTHO400 from the vmax-generation. The evaluation was based on five repre-sentative processing steps on a workpieceof molybdenum-containing INOX.

ORTHO NF-X for a wide variety of applicationsManufacturers who frequently work withsmall and medium-sized production runsknow the great advantage of being able tooptimize machinery scheduling. Today,customer deadlines are set in stone andhave a significant influence on successfulorder completion. This situation demandsthe greatest possible flexibility on the partof the fabricator as well as new solutionsfrom supplier industries.

The development of the new SWISS-CUT ORTHO NF-X means that for

the first time in the more than 30-yearhistory of MOTOREX AG, the require-ments of all materials, degrees of diffi-culty and operations can be covered withjust one cutting oil. The product is freefrom chlorine and heavy metals and canbe supplied in all three ISO viscosityclasses: ISO 10, 15 and 22. It is suitablefor processing all common materials, i.e.difficult-to-machine steels through non-ferrous metals to castings.

We will be pleased to provide you withfurther information on MOTOREXvmax-technology and the new achieve-ments in the MOTOREX SWISSCUTORTHO family.

Special vmax-additives become active

at just the right time, enabling a tangible

increase in performance.

The high machining quality is unmis-

takably reflected in the outstanding

surface finish.

“Much faster, more precise and more cost-effective” was the prediction of

metal turning experts a few years ago. The trend was clearly towards higher

processing speeds. This vision has long since become reality thanks to still

more powerful machines and new technology.

MOTOREX vmax-technology

With tremendous personal initiative, 30-year-old truck driver Yves Balleneggerfrom Bougy-Villars in canton Vaud,Switzerland, has established the “Globe-trucker” aid project. He used his trailertruck to bring aid materials such as books,

writing materials, furniture and computers to roughly 120 children in a school in Mon-golia. He was accompanied on the long trip via Hamburg, Finland, Moscow and Siberia by his friends Sandra Roth and Jean-Philippe Fontaine. On arrival in the north-ern Province of Selenge, they not only unloaded their gifts, but stayed on another 4 weeks to help build the school.

The Globetruckers traveled nearly 21,671 km for this good purpose. Yves Bal-lenegger’s comment: “On this long and veryinteresting trip, I was happy to know that I had two good friends by my side and that I could always rely on my truck.” The lubri-cants donated by MOTOREX are sure tohave brought him a little more peace ofmind along the way!
