Tucked away in the heart of the Berkshire countryside is Pangbourne – Castrol’s world class motorcycle product development & testing facility.

At Castrol, motorcycle engine oils are our passion. We want you to gain an insight into what it takes to develop our advanced motorcycle engine oils with Trizone Technology™.

Through a series of short videos, you will be guided through the 4 key stages of product development.

The blending and analytical section shows you how we optimise our formulations both physically and chemically through a range of specialist laboratory and bench tests.

Engine testing gives you an insight into the complex world of motorcycle lubricant evaluation where we specialise in the art of developing extreme tests to push our lubricants to the limit in the quest for high performance.

Differentiated testing introduces you to “Flossie” our robot rider– who takes precision riding to a whole new level in our climatic test chamber.

Finally, Field Testing leads you through the final proof of performance, with bikes of all shapes and sizes being evaluated in different conditions across the world.

I’m confident that the videos will give you a flavour of our commitment to the development and testing of world class motorcycle engine oils!
