PRACTICE TIRE MOUNTING
PRACTICE TIRE MOUNTING ASIA The MOTOREX product range now includes the revolutionary new TYRE MOUNTING FLUID for tire specialists. It can be applied very economically, dries quickly and leaves no visible mounting residue, boosting quality and efficiency in the tire business. FLUID REPLACES PASTE The high seasons of fall and spring are crunch times without equal for tire dealers, as large numbers of tires are changed in the space of a few weeks. Perfectly coordinated processes are needed to ensure speed, customer satisfaction and zero tolerance for errors. With its new tire mounting fluid, MOTOREX has developed a product that meets precisely these criteria. MULTIPLE BENEFITS The excellent lubricant properties of pioneering MOTOREX TYRE MOUNTING FLUID have a positive impact on both the mounting and dismounting process as well as the tire’s breakaway torque during inflation. A welcome side effect: no more hassle of injecting paste during mounting. Rapid drying eliminates slippage of the tire on the rim and the resulting imbalance, even under heavy loads. But probably the fluid’s biggest benefit is that it leaves no visible residue to clean up. This saves time and enhances customer satisfaction. By prevent- ing compounding with water, the exclusive formula stops corrosion between tire and rim. MOTOREX TYRE MOUNTING FLUID has been successfully tested in realworld conditions, is suitable for all common tire types and is compatible with tire pressure control systems (TPCS). A HANDY LITTLE PACKAGE … The practical dispenser is especially helpful when applying the fluid. It fits snugly in the hand and makes it easy to apply just the right amount of fluid with one hand during both mounting and dismounting. A specially designed magnetic holder keeps it in easy reach on the tire changer.

But the gasoline in their veins and their shared passion for fast motorcycles had the attendees at MOTOREX’s first gathering of Asian distributors speaking the same language from the start. Welcoming the official Moto Line distributors from Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand in Sepang at mid-year was a great honor for Edi Fischer (CEO), Ronald Kabella (Director of Power Sports) and Martin Wabnegger (Area Sales Manager). The three-day meeting addressed a number of timely issues (products, technology, sales, marketing). THE ASIAN GROWTH MARKET MOTOREX Moto Line lubricants and care products have a long history on the Asian market. Quality awareness among consumers has risen enormously over the past ten years with the growing presence of premium motorcycles and generally higher expectations for lubrication technologies. The trend is a perfect fit for the MOTOREX quality philosophy. This, along with targeted marketing initiatives, has brought many distributors very welcome growth rates. The three most successful distributors of recent years were recognized at the meeting. Philip Gerard Ty Ang, Performance Parts, Philippines greatest annual growth, 2009–2014 Kenny Lee, Motonation, Malaysia greatest annual growth, 2011–2014 One big family: participants at the first MOTOREX Asian Distributor Meeting in Sepang, Malaysia, with the Crescent Suzuki Team. Prasopchai Manthonglang, NP Moto, Thailand greatest annual growth, 2013–2014 on the famous Sepang Grand Prix racing circuit concurrently with the meeting. The first highlight of the gathering was a meet-and-greet Friday evening when Crescent Suzuki World Superbike Team riders Alex Lowes and Randy de Puniet and team manager Paul Denning dropped in to say hello. MOTOREX guests returned the gesture by visiting the team at the Sepang racing circuit the next day. Finally that evening, attendees got the opportunity to step on the gas and test each other’s mettle in a go-cart race. Lubrication between the tire bead and rim flange protects the carcass during dismounting. The handy TYRE MOUNTING FLUID dispenser helps in applying fluid to the tire bead economically. Saves time: no need to clean residue off the tire or rim after mounting. SEVERAL HIGHLIGHTS AT ONCE Naturally, motor sports were not neglected as a Superbike World Championship race was held The organizers were especially pleased to see the participants heading home at the end of the meeting as highly motivated members of the big MOTOREX family. A big “thank you” to everyone who made this great success possible! • 20 MOTOREX MAGAZINE 106 I DECEMBER 2015 21
