Description
Elf Off Road 2 Racer is a fully synthetic oil from the Off Road range for two-stroke motorcycles in off-road competition. The formulation aims at full engine output, at carrying heat away to prevent overheating and seizure, and at protecting the piston against wear under extreme load.
The oil is rated API TC and JASO FD, and the manufacturer states that it exceeds the JASO FD level; no motorcycle manufacturer approvals are listed.
Typical figures: 11 mm²/s at 100 °C and 75 mm²/s at 40 °C, pour point -30 °C, flash point 108 °C. Available in 1 litre packs.
Application
Two-stroke motorcycles for off-road competition, where full engine output, temperature control and piston protection are needed.
Worth knowing
Because of the similar name, this oil is easy to confuse with Elf Moto 2 Race, although on paper they are different products. The manufacturer describes Race as an ester-based oil for sport scooters and mopeds; it is markedly thicker (14.1 mm²/s at 100 °C against 11 mm²/s), and its data sheet names no class. So when a motorcycle’s manual requires JASO FD, only Off Road 2 Racer of the two claims that class.
On paper, the closest match is Elf Moto 2 Racer: the same API TC and JASO FD, likewise a fully synthetic base and an identical table of characteristics, with a density of 880 kg/m³, a pour point of -30 °C and a flash point of 108 °C. What differs is the intended use: Moto 2 Racer is meant for powerful motorcycles working hard at high revs, Off Road 2 Racer for off-road competition. The JASO M345 table in the article on two-stroke oil shows the minimums for smoke, piston cleanliness and ash content behind class FD.
