Description

Elf Moto 2 Rider is an oil for two-stroke motorcycles ridden every day in heavy town traffic with frequent stops. It mixes evenly with all fuel types, including ethanol-based biofuels.

The oil is rated API TC and JASO FB; the data sheet lists no motorcycle manufacturer approvals.

Detergent-dispersant additives counter deposits on the piston and in the combustion chamber, and the formulation helps to reduce exhaust smoke. Typical figures: 10.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 110, pour point -27 °C. Available in 1 and 20 litre packs.

Application

Two-stroke motorcycles ridden daily in heavy town traffic with frequent stops; the oil mixes evenly with all fuel types, including ethanol blends.

Worth knowing

FB is the lowest of the three JASO classes for two-stroke oils, and that is the class this oil claims, alongside API TC. The “Exceeds JASO norm” wording on the data sheet is the maker’s own claim and names no other class, so FB is what is actually declared: if the motorcycle’s manual requires FC or FD, you need a different oil. Within the line, Moto 2 Tourer and Moto 2 Racer, among others, combine JASO FD with the same API TC. The minimum requirements of each class are set out in the JASO table for FB, FC and FD.

Elf Moto 2 Self Mix repeats both of Rider’s classes and every figure on its data sheet: API TC, JASO FB, 82.5 and 10.6 mm²/s at 40 and 100 °C, viscosity index 110, pour point -27 °C, flash point 160 °C, density 882 kg/m³. Self Mix additionally states ISO-L-EGB and has code 033TOL051 in the JASO list; its data sheet calls the base mineral, whereas Rider is described only as a formula with “synthetic technologies”.
