While the new Castrol POWER1 offers superior acceleration at the twist of the throttle, the new Castrol POWER1 SCOOTER with Scootek Technology boasts superior acceleration at the mere touch of the throttle.

 

Separately, the Castrol POWER1 CRUISE with Power Sustain Technology manages heat and friction in big bikes, ensuring continuous power delivery during long rides.

As the proud sponsors of the Castrol LCR Honda team and in conjunction with the MotoGP, Castrol also announced the new Castrol POWER1 RACING with Race Derived Technology, proven to stay strong and deliver acceleration in race track conditions.
