OC1 becomes technical partner of Red Bull Ducati Factory MXGP for the 2026 season

It is now official - since the beginning of the 2026 season, OC1 has been working with Red Bull Ducati Factory MXGP as an official technical partner. This means that throughout the FIM Motocross World Championship season, the Ducati factory team's motorcycles are cleaned, maintained and prepared for racing using OC1 products.

Working with one of the most prestigious motorcycle manufacturers in the world is a great honour for the brand and a confirmation of the trust that professional racing teams place in OC1 products.

The scope of the partnership with the Ducati factory team

As part of the partnership, the team relies on a wide range of motorcycle care and maintenance products. These include motorcycle cleaners, degreasers, drivetrain cleaning products, chain lubricants, protective treatments, and products designed to clean and protect plastic components.

OC1 products support the team both during equipment preparation and throughout race weekends on the most demanding tracks in the world.

Ducati in motocross - the beginning of a new era

For decades, Ducati was associated primarily with circuit racing, MotoGP and sport motorcycles. In recent years, however, the Italian manufacturer has been consistently developing its off-road project, aimed at entering the most demanding off-road disciplines in the world.

Ducati officially announced its entry into motocross at the end of 2023, presenting an MX motorcycle project developed entirely from scratch. Rather than copying existing designs, the brand chose to build its own technology, drawing on experience from MotoGP, Superbike and advanced racing engineering.

Red Bull Ducati Factory MXGP is currently developing the Ducati Desmo450 MX project with the goal of competing for top positions in the FIM Motocross World Championship. The motorcycles are prepared by a highly experienced group of mechanics and engineers for whom reliability and flawless machine condition are essential during every race weekend.

MXGP - the most demanding conditions in motocross

MXGP is widely regarded as the most demanding motocross championship in the world. Throughout the season, motorcycles operate in extreme conditions: from deep mud to hard-packed, dusty tracks, in high temperatures and under enormous loads on components. Added to this is the intensive washing of the machines after every practice session and race. More about the championship is in MXGP: the world championship where every detail counts.

In such an environment, proper cleaning and maintenance have a direct impact not only on the appearance of the motorcycle, but above all on the durability of its components and its performance throughout the entire race weekend. What matters is the effectiveness, reliability and speed of action of the products - exactly where there is no room for compromise. A washing routine based on the same principles is described in how to clean a motorcycle after riding in mud.

OC1 in the FIM Motocross World Championship

The partnership with Red Bull Ducati Factory MXGP is not the brand's only involvement in the world championship. OC1 also serves as an official technical partner of the MXGP series itself, giving the brand a presence at rounds held on some of the most iconic motocross circuits around the globe. One of this season's results is covered in Yamaha's double podium at the Motocross World Championship.

Its involvement with both the championship series and the Ducati factory programme further strengthens the brand's position in professional motocross and represents another step in the international development of OC1.

The same products for every rider

The products used by the Ducati factory team are also available to amateur riders and competitors racing in national championships. This means that every motorcycle owner can use the same solutions trusted by a team competing at the highest level of the Motocross World Championship.
