Champion Lubricants is proud to announce the extension of its successful technical partnership with BMW Motorrad Motorsport, marking a new chapter in a collaboration built on trust, shared ambition and a relentless pursuit of performance.
BMW Motorrad’s passion for performance, engineering excellence and the thrill of the road aligns seamlessly with Champion’s brand DNA, making racing the natural environment to develop and prove high- performance motorcycle lubricants.
Alongside the continued partnership with the BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team in the FIM Endurance World Championship, Champion is now also confirmed as a partner of the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team. This expansion into the FIM Superbike World Championship represents a major milestone for Champion and further strengthens its presence at the highest level of motorcycle racing.
Since the start of the partnership in 2022, Champion Lubricants and BMW Motorrad Motorsport have worked closely together in a true technical collaboration. Racing serves as the ultimate proving ground, where Champion’s advanced lubricant technologies are tested and refined under extreme conditions, with insights feeding directly into the brand’s race to road approach. The extension of the partnership reflects the strong mutual confidence between both brands, with Champion’s racing lubricants continuing to support endurance and superbike competition where reliability, consistency and peak engine performance are decisive.
Bjorn Heyvaert, Global Motorcycle Segment Lead at Wolf Oil Corporation, commented:
“Wolf Oil Corporation has been a technical lubricant partner of BMW Motorrad Motorsport since 2022, where we have been able to demonstrate our know-how and services in the Endurance World Championship. We are proud and delighted to now extend this partnership into the FIM World Superbike Championship together with the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team. In 2026, we will also continue our technical partnership with the BMW Motorrad World Endurance Team, while supporting the 8Ten Racing Team and the renewed Champion–Zone by MRP EWC Superstock Team with our technologies. These projects underline the strength, continuity, and mutual trust of our collaboration. We sincerely thank BMW Motorrad Motorsport for this opportunity and for the confidence they place in our technology and partnership.”
Sven Blusch, Head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, added:
“We are very pleased to extend our successful partnership with Champion Lubricants and to enter the WorldSBK together. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to technical excellence, performance, and reliability under the most demanding racing conditions. With Champion by our side, we are well prepared to compete at the highest level in the upcoming season. Together, we will continue to push the limits of innovation and achieve outstanding results on and off the track.”
The 2026 season begins in February with the opening round of the WorldSBK Championship at Phillip Island, followed by another highly anticipated year in the FIM Endurance World Championship. With momentum built over previous seasons and a broadened racing programme, Champion and BMW Motorrad Motorsport enter the new season with clear focus and growing ambition.
