Almost all of America rides on Bel-Ray. The company is very old, with its own history. The product range is very broad, there is almost everything, so it felt worth making a long post about them. The approvals are top-tier. Moreover, Husqvarna fills with Bel-Ray moto line straight from the production line.
Bel-Ray began its operations in 1946. This American company produces a huge range of oils for various types of equipment. The company divides its production into three categories: Powersports, Industrial, and Mining. We are, of course, primarily interested in the motorcycle oil line called Powersports. Let’s take a closer look at what exactly Bel-Ray offers for motorcycles.
The company’s approach to the engine oil group has its own characteristics. As a rule, many oil brands offer three types of oils for four-stroke engines: mineral, semi-synthetic, and synthetic. Bel-Ray, taking into account the specifics of different engines, produces a significantly wider assortment of engine oils, allowing the optimal oil to be selected for any type of engine.
Bel-Ray THUMPER RACING
Four-stroke engine oils for “single-cylinder” engines. Ideal for all single-cylinder engines with air or liquid cooling. Designed for motocross bikes, enduro motorcycles, and, of course, also suitable for road motorcycles. Resistance to viscosity-modifier breakdown, excellent anti-wear and detergent properties allow the engine’s full power to be realized. So what do we get in the end: oil stability over long mileage, engine cleanliness from various deposits and carbon buildup, reduced friction, and increased power.
Bel-Ray EXS, EXP
Engine oils for four-stroke, multi-cylinder, high-power engines. EXS is a fully synthetic oil reinforced with esters. EXP is a semi-synthetic oil, also containing esters. For powerful engines, the best option will undoubtedly be the use of synthetic engine oil. For engines with moderate tuning, semi-synthetic oil is sufficient.
Bel-Ray V-TWIN
Engine oils for four-stroke V-twin engines. Bel-Ray focuses on the specific features of V-twin engines and produces a separate line of engine oils optimally balanced for these engines.
Bel-Ray ATV
Engine oils for ATVs. Low speeds through mud, constant water crossings, and other “joys” encountered along the way place heavy loads on an ATV engine. This engine oil was developed specifically for such harsh operating conditions in order to maximally protect the engine from wear and corrosion.
Bel-Ray 2T
Without a doubt, Bel-Ray two-stroke engine oils can be classified as premium. High service life, cleanliness of engine components, minimal toxicity, and low smoke during combustion.
Bel-Ray Marine
The company produces oils for two-stroke and four-stroke outboard boat engines. Designed for prolonged operation at wide-open throttle in an aggressive, humid environment. The oil meets environmental standards.
Bel-Ray Fork Oils
Bel-Ray produces high-quality fork oils in one-liter containers with viscosities (W): 2.5, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30. In addition, there are oils for rear shock absorbers with viscosities of 3W and 5W. Bel-Ray fork oils maintain stable suspension performance in any conditions. By using Bel-Ray suspension oils, we get precise handling, comfort, and minimal component wear.
It is worth noting that Bel-Ray oils belong to the premium class. The extensive product line makes it easy to select lubricants for any motorcycle. For selection, it is convenient to use the manufacturer’s partner website: choose the vehicle you are interested in and receive a complete list of the oils required for maintenance. And what is especially pleasing is that the website specifies the required quantity of oil.
