Motocross · EnduroMaxima Racing Oils was born in 1979 a few miles east of San Diego, when motorcycle dealer Dick Lechien wanted a cleaner, tougher premix for the two-strokes his son Ron raced. The blend worked, Ron Lechien went on to factory glory, and the oil from Santee, California has run inside factory Kawasaki supercross and motocross engines for more than two decades.
Maxima leans hard into finishing and protection, led by SC1 Clear Coat, the silicone detailer that brings back a deep new-bike shine after every wash. The suspension shelf runs deep too, with Racing Fork Fluid, Racing Shock Fluid and a standard fork oil in the weights your setup calls for, while Castor 927 Racing Premix keeps the two-stroke side honest with its legendary castor and ester mix.
Drivetrain and engine care round out the range. Chain Wax Chain Lube and Clear Synthetic Chain Guard keep the final drive quiet, Pro Plus+ 10w50 handles four-stroke duty, and MTL-R looks after the gearbox. Add High Temp Waterproof Grease, Coolanol coolant, FFT foam filter oil and Formula K2 premix, and a motocross or enduro bike is covered end to end.
Frequently asked questions about Maxima Racing Oils
Which suspension fluid should I choose?
Start with the standard fork oil for everyday trail and recreational riding, where consistent weight and value matter most. Step up to Racing Fork Fluid and Racing Shock Fluid for race-pace damping and better stability under heat. The fully synthetic racing shock fluid sits at the top, built to resist fade through long, hard motos. Match the weight to your fork and shock spec.
Does Maxima suit both motocross and enduro?
Yes. The same range covers both disciplines. Castor 927 and Formula K2 premix feed two-stroke MX and enduro engines, while Pro Plus+ 10w50 handles four-strokes. Racing fork and shock fluids tune suspension for either track or trail, and chain lubes, grease, coolant and filter oil keep the bike running whether you ride gates or long forest loops.
Can I build a complete bike-care kit?
Yes. Maxima spans the whole bike, so one order can cover it. Run premix or four-stroke oil in the engine, MTL-R in the gearbox, and Racing Fork and Shock Fluid in the suspension. Keep the chain set with Chain Wax and Clear Synthetic Chain Guard, pack High Temp grease and Coolanol, then finish with SC1 Clear Coat after each wash.
How do I buy Maxima via Knobby?
Knobby sells through dealers rather than directly to consumers. Your local Knobby dealer can order any part of the Maxima range, from SC1 Clear Coat and Castor 927 to fork and shock fluids, and confirm the right weights, current sizes, stock and prices for your bike. Contact your nearest dealer and they will arrange the order for you.
