Fantic Motor S.p.A. and NILS S.p.A. are delighted to announce a new wide-ranging technical and commercial collaboration. NILS, the South Tyrolean manufacturer of high-performance, premium-quality lubricants, will supply its products for the first fill of Fantic’s entire model range and support the Italian brand’s factory racing efforts across Moto2, MXGP, EnduroGP and major Rally Raids, starting with the 2025 Dakar.
The shared passion for two wheels and the unwavering pursuit of maximum performance and quality in all areas unite Fantic and NILS, forming the foundation of a multi-year partnership between the two Italian companies. The collaboration will kick off with the upcoming participation of the Fantic Factory Rally Team in the Dakar, taking place from 3 to 17 January 2025 in Saudi Arabia. Beyond Rally Raids, this strategic partnership will extend to all Fantic Factory Teams competing in the Moto2, Motocross and Enduro World Championships.
As a key part of the agreement, NILS’ extensive expertise and the race-proven know-how will also benefit Fantic’s production motorcycles. Fantic will use NILS lubricants to first fill its entire range, including enduro, motocross and motard bikes, as well as the Caballero line and the brand-new sporty street models: the naked Stealth and the fully-faired Imola.
Mariano Roman, Vice President of Fantic Motor:
“I am very pleased to welcome NILS, an Italian excellence in the field of lubrication, as our new technical and commercial partner. This is a 360-degree collaboration including all our racing activities, both on-road and off-road, as well as first-fill supply across our entire product range. We have chosen their expertise, technology and in-depth product knowledge for both competition and production. I would like to thank NILS for their trust and the enthusiasm they have shown right from the start.
