Motul has entered into a new partnership with Boon Siew Honda, becoming the Official Title Sponsor and Lubricant Partner for Honda’s factory-backed campaigns in both the Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) AP250 class and the Malaysia Superbike Championship (MSBK) 250 category for the 2026 season.
Under the new agreement, Motul becomes both title sponsor and technical lubricant partner for two dedicated racing programmes. The Motul Honda Asia Team will contest the ARRC AP250 championship, while Motul Honda Racing Malaysia will compete in the MSBK 250 category.
For Honda, the partnership brings one of the world’s most recognised lubricant specialists into its regional racing effort.
For Motul, it creates another opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of its flagship 300V racing lubricant under some of the toughest operating conditions imaginable.
“This partnership represents a natural evolution of our commitment to motorsport in Asia-Pacific. For Motul, the racetrack is the ultimate testing ground. Powering both the Motul Honda Asia Team in ARRC AP250 and Motul Honda Racing Malaysia in MSBK 250 with our flagship 300V technology allows us to push the boundaries of lubricant innovation under extreme conditions, directly translating track-tested reliability and precision into performance for our consumers across the region. We are thrilled to support this campaign alongside Boon Siew Honda as we deliver the technical excellence required to achieve dominant racing results.”
Carlo Savoca, Chief Marketing Officer of Motul Asia Pacific
Data gathered throughout the ARRC and MSBK campaigns will contribute towards future product development while strengthening the company’s presence within the region’s motorcycle community.
With Honda’s racing heritage firmly established across Asia, the company believes Motul’s technical expertise will strengthen both its ARRC and MSBK programmes throughout the season.
“We are thrilled to have Motul onboard as the driving force behind our ARRC and MSBK programmes. Motorsport is deep within Honda’s racing heritage, and realising our regional ambitions requires a partner that shares our relentless pursuit of performance. Motul’s undeniable expertise on the global stage provides our AP250 and UB150 riders with a distinct technical advantage, and this partnership marks a significant step forward for both companies as we pursue shared growth and championship victory.”
Kunitomo Asano, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Boon Siew Honda
The partnership will see Motul supporting two separate campaigns across the remainder of the 2026 season.
The Motul Honda Asia Team will continue its ARRC AP250 challenge with upcoming rounds at Mandalika International Circuit in Indonesia, Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia and Chang International Circuit in Thailand. Meanwhile, Motul Honda Racing Malaysia will contest the remaining MSBK 250 rounds at Sepang later this year.
