PLANO, Texas, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens Digital Industries Software has renewed its technical partnership agreement with Ducati Corse, ("Ducati") for the next two years and detailed how the Siemens Xcelerator platform has been instrumental in helping the company to achieve its mission of creating increasingly powerful, safe and sustainable motorcycles.


"Our partnership with Siemens has not only helped us meet current challenges but has also positioned us perfectly to meet future challenges, both on the racetrack and in the global market. We are ready to continue winning, with innovation as our guiding principle, always together with a technological partner that allows us to remain competitive and at the top," said Massimiliano Bertei, CTO, Ducati Motor Holding. "In the world of racing, being able to modify your bike until the last second is crucial. For example, during race weekends, we can remotely design new components using Siemens' technology, which are then sent to the track and printed on a 3D printer."

"Our collaboration with Ducati demonstrates how digital transformation helps a company excel in developing cutting-edge technology for the racetrack and then quickly apply those insights to its wider business," said Franco Megali, vice president and CEO for Italy, Israel and Greece, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "It's a perfect example of the power of Siemens Xcelerator, to empower multi-domain teams to collaborate and achieve innovation at an incredible pace across the entire enterprise."

Ducati's research and development teams' adoption of Siemens Xcelerator includes a wide range of software and capabilities. Polarion® software provides requirements capture and management. Designcenter™ NX™ software powers innovative designs. Teamcenter® software provides the digital thread backbone to connect design and engineering data with Ducati's ERP system to enable cross-department collaboration and centralized data synchronization.

With Simcenter™ software and Simcenter™ Testlab™ software, Ducati Corse is able to virtually simulate and integrate digital simulation with physical test processes and data gathered from the track during race weekends. Siemens' solutions also play a role in taking design and engineering into production, with Siemens' Fibersim™ software enabling reduction of development timescales for complex carbon fiber parts.

Converging track and the road
Alongside its domination on the motorcycle racetrack, Ducati is also relying on Siemens Xcelerator to connect the world of motor racing to its street bike business with Teamcenter playing a pivotal role in bringing together the two worlds.

As Pietro Mappa, CAD/PLM manager, Ducati Motor Holding, explains. "Thanks to Siemens Xcelerator, we reduced development times with full sharing of data from the racing world to the street bike world. The mechanical, electronics and software teams, both in the street motorcycle and the racing worlds, have a single tool for collaboration and data sharing. There are no more departmental silos, and we have created a single integrated environment in which track engineers and vehicle design engineers can collaborate."

Ducati Lenovo team has won the 2025 MotoGP championship with Marc Márquez securing the Riders' Title, the team taking its sixth consecutive MotoGP Constructors' Title and has won the MotoGP Team Title for 2025.

Smart, Connected, and Built for Modern Riders

Scottoiler, the world's leading supplier of motorcycle chain lubrication systems, proudly announces the launch of two groundbreaking products — the eSystem REP Connect and the xSystem 3.0 Plus.

The eSystem REP Connect represents the next evolution in Scottoiler's acclaimed range and marks the company's first collaboration with HEX Innovate. Meanwhile, the xSystem 3.0 Plus introduces an all-new level of connectivity with Bluetooth control directly through the Scottoiler app. Together, these new systems reaffirm Scottoiler's mission to help riders save time, money, and hassle while ensuring maximum performance and protection for their motorcycles.


eSystem REP Connect — Integrated Precision for Smart Riders
Designed for riders who already use an accessory manager such as the HEX ezCAN, the eSystem REP Connect offers seamless integration and intelligent lubrication control. Once connected, riders can configure and adjust the system through their accessory manager software, allowing the oiler to automatically sync with their motorcycle's setup and riding preferences.

This automated control ensures consistent, hassle-free lubrication that extends chain life and minimizes manual maintenance. The REP Connect features a precision piston pump, a 50ml reservoir, and a range of up to 1,600 miles, making it an ideal solution for riders who demand precision, reliability, and smart functionality.

xSystem 3.0 Plus — Effortless Chain Care via Smartphone
The xSystem 3.0 Plus delivers a modern, app-connected solution for easy chain maintenance. With Bluetooth control through the Scottoiler app, riders can manage and customize oil flow directly from their smartphone — making maintenance as simple as tapping a screen.

As the most advanced model in the xSystem lineup, it features a powerful solenoid valve, 60ml reservoir, and 1,600-mile range. For riders seeking the same innovation in a compact format, the Micro xSystem 3.0 Plus provides all the same smart features in a smaller, 35ml system offering up to 750 miles of lubrication.

Availability
The Scottoiler eSystem REP Connect and xSystem 3.0 Plus are now available for purchase through MotoMachines.com — the U.S. importer and distributor for Scottoiler. Dealers are welcome to inquire about partnership opportunities.

Keep your bike ready to ride — so you can worry less and smile more.

ELLENTON, Fla., Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The SMX League™ has announced the complete 2026 Monster Energy SMX World Championship series schedule, with tickets now on sale for all 17 rounds of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship at SupercrossLIVE.com. Pro Motocross tickets will be available at a later date. Fans can also sign up for SMX Texts to receive the latest news and updates from the SMX League.



The 17-race Supercross schedule is poised to visit 16 different cities spread across 13 states, from California and Arizona to Ohio and Pennsylvania. New to the schedule this season is a stop at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio for the first time in over 30 years. After a brief hiatus, stops in Houston, Texas at NRG Stadium and Nashville, Tennessee at Nissan Stadium, return.

As it has been for more than five decades, the outdoor component of the regular season will feature the same hallowed venues for the 55th edition of the Pro Motocross Championship. The summer campaign will once again consist of 11 races and 22 grueling motos but will begin one week later than what has been tradition, which will give the world's best racers and the sport's most elite teams an additional week of preparation following Supercross and a well-deserved weekend at home during the Memorial Day holiday.

The biggest stars in the sport will be lining up at the Anaheim Opener in January as the 450SX Class once again promises to deliver one of the deepest fields in recent memory. Five past champions - Jason Anderson, Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, defending Supercross champion Cooper Webb, and defending SMX World Champion Jett Lawrence (Australia) will be fighting for another title. Vying for their first crack at the crown will be top contenders Hunter Lawrence (Australia, SMX World Championship and Pro Motocross runner-up), Ken Roczen (Germany), Dylan Ferrandis (France), Justin Cooper, Aaron Plessinger, Malcolm Stewart, and Justin Barcia each of whom are former champions, race winners, and podium finishers.

When the series shifts outdoors on May 30, defending champion Jett Lawrence will look to extend his dominance against former champions Chase Sexton, Eli Tomac, Dylan Ferrandis, and Ken Roczen. Challenging for their first Pro Motocross title are 2025 runner-up Hunter Lawrence, fourth-place finisher Justin Cooper, fifth-place finisher RJ Hampshire in his rookie campaign, as well as Jorge Prado and Aaron Plessinger.

The first of three Triple Crown events will take place at Round 4 on Saturday, January 31 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas followed by rounds9 and 14 on Saturday, March 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana and Saturday, April 18 at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio. The Triple Crown, three-race format is a break from the traditional one Main Event race format and has become a fan favorite since its inception in 2018.

Teams will decide later in the year which athletes will be competing in each respective 250SX Class Divisional Championship, but fans can expect some epic battles as 2026 will feature the return of defending Western Division Champion and 250 Class Pro Motocross Champion, Haiden Deegan and runner-up finishers on the East and West, Seth Hammaker and Julien Beaumer. Defending SMX World Champion Jo Shimoda is still seeking his first Supercross and Pro Motocross championships and will be in hot pursuit of those titles in 2026. Not to be forgotten, seasoned veterans Jordon Smith, Cameron McAdoo, Levi Kitchen, Austin Forkner, Max Anstie (U.K.), Chance Hymas and Nate Thrasher are all in the conversation for wins and championships in either division.

The West Division 250SX Class Championship will be contested at the following rounds:

    Round 1 – Anaheim, Calif. on Saturday, January 10 at Angel Stadium of Anaheim
    Round 2 – San Diego, Calif. on Saturday, January 17 at Snapdragon Stadium
    Round 3 – Anaheim, Calif. on Saturday, January 24 at Angel Stadium of Anaheim
    Round 4 – Houston, Texas on Saturday, January 31 at NRG Stadium
    Round 5 – Glendale, Ariz. on Saturday, February 7 at State Farm Stadium
    Round 6 – Seattle, Wash. on Saturday, February 14 at Lumen Field
    Round 16 – Denver, Colo. on Saturday, May 2 at Empower Field at Mile High

The East Division 250SX Class Championship will be contested at the following rounds:

    Round 7 – Arlington, Texas on Saturday, February 21 at AT&T Stadium
    Round 8 – Daytona Beach Fla. on Saturday, February 28 at Daytona International Speedway
    Round 9 – Indianapolis, Ind. on Saturday, March 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium
    Round 11 – Detroit, Mich. on Saturday, March 28 at Ford Field
    Round 13 – Nashville, Tenn. on Saturday, April 11 at Nissan Stadium
    Round 14 – Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday, April 18 at Huntington Bank Field
    Round 15 – Philadelphia, Penn. on Saturday, April 25 at Lincoln Financial Field

The first East/West Showdown will be held on Saturday, March 21 at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala. (Round 10). The second will be held on Saturday, April 4 at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, Mo. (Round 12) and the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown will be Saturday, May 9 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah (Round 17).

FanFest is currently planned for all Supercross rounds except Detroit, Mich. (Round 11). The expansive outside footprint features unprecedented access to the sport's biggest stars with an up-close and intimate view of their racing machines and team rigs. As the name implies, FanFest is a festival for the fans and has become a major part of the Supercross experience where fans can jump back and forth between the paddock and the stadium to also watch practice and qualifying.

QuoteFuell, the electric bike and motorcycle startup founded by legendary motorcycle designer Erik Buell, has officially sputtered to a stop. The company's remaining assets were recently auctioned off for a total of around $170,000 – barely a speed bump against the nearly $7 million it owed to creditors.
The auction marked the final chapter in Fuell's short and turbulent ride through the micromobility world. The company had raised millions through multiple crowdfunding campaigns and once pitched itself as a bold disruptor with premium e-bikes like the Flluid and Fllow. But after filing for bankruptcy last October, Fuell's sleek ambitions quickly turned into a garage sale.
The auctioned assets included the company's intellectual property, such as the Fuell trademark, website, and patents, which brought in about $50,000 across several lots. A small fleet of leftover e-bikes also hit the block, with Flluid models going for $1,150–$1,600 each and Fuell's lesser-known Folld folding e-bikes moving for as little as $475.
