From the 1st May 2010, what was formerly known as the Fuchs Silkolene Powersport Range (which included products such as Silkolene Pro S, Silkolene Pro R, Silkolene SYN 5 and Silkolene Boa 90LS) will be renamed Fuchs Titan Race.



The Silkolene name will remain exclusively on the Motorcycle range of products.

Fuchs have said that existing users of the Fuchs Silkolene Powersport (4 wheel) products can rest assured that the exacting standards will be maintained and improved within the Titan Race range.

Fuchs have also stated.

“Titan Race is the pinnacle of performance within the Fuchs brand family and further significant product additions will be introduced. Our long established partnerships with our in-house R&D teams and world class motorsport teams and engine builders ensures the consumer receive the very latest products designed using the most advanced technologies”

www.opieoils.co.uk will be retailing the renamed products as and when existing stocks of the Silkolene products are depleted so there will be a changeover period.

Having been a key UK retailer of the Silkolene products over the last 5 years we are both excited and supportive of this change which ensures that these quality oils stay at the cutting edge of technology and performance.

How does a name change ensure that they "stay at the cutting edge of technology and performance", out of interest?

Have always wondered about the practical difference between Pro R and Pro S; having used both, the description on the bottle is pretty much the same between them. What does the difference boil down to?

I'm not going to get involved with why a name change makes it better, marketing really isn't my thing. I'll probably be calling it Silkolene for a long time.

There's not a lot of difference between Pro S & R, they are both top end oil, but in really high performance applications the Pro R is slightly more stable
