Motorex Oil for Enduro and Supermoto: Which One Do You Need?
2 min read

Engine oil isn't just engine oil. A two-stroke needs a different oil from a four-stroke, and on bikes with a wet clutch the right approval matters. Here's which Motorex oil suits your enduro or supermoto.
First: check your manual
The viscosity and approval your engine needs are in your bike's owner's manual. Stick to them, including the mixing ratio for two-strokes. The overview below helps you find the matching oil.
Two-stroke or four-stroke?
- Two-strokes (e.g. KTM EXC 300, Beta RR 2T, Yamaha YZ125) burn the oil with the fuel. It's mixed into the fuel or fed by separate lubrication.
- Four-strokes (e.g. KTM EXC-F, Husqvarna FE, KTM 690 SMC R) keep the oil in the engine, and the same oil usually lubricates the gearbox and clutch too.
Four-strokes: look for JASO MA2
On most motorcycles the clutch runs in the engine oil (wet clutch). That's what the JASO MA2 standard is for: oils with this approval keep the clutch gripping cleanly. All our Motorex four-stroke oils are JASO MA2.
A viscosity like "10W/50" describes how thin the oil is when cold (the number before the W) and at operating temperature (the number after).
The oils at a glance
- Cross Power 4T 10W/50 (CHF 26.40): 4T, fully synthetic, API SM/SN/SP, JASO MA2. For modern off-road four-strokes.
- Cross Power 4T 10W/60 (CHF 26.40): 4T, fully synthetic, API SM/SN/SP, JASO MA2, KTM LC4 2007+. For modern off-road four-strokes, KTM LC4 from 2007.
- Top Speed 4T 10W/40 (CHF 20.90): 4T, synthetic, API SM/SN/SP, JASO MA2. For medium and large displacement bikes.
- Top Speed 4T 15W/50 (CHF 20.90): 4T, synthetic, API SM/SN/SP, JASO MA2. For medium and large displacement bikes.
