Motul has a long-standing, successful relationship with the world of power sports and is proud to announce the South African ambassadors for this important global initiative.
The ambassador partnerships, enables the PowerSport Ambassador Programme to serve as an extension of the brand that aims to raise awareness not just of power sports, but of Motul’s contribution to the industry.
