Response: 

> Dear Mr. White,
> 
> Thanks for your interest in Mobil's new line of Mobil 1 Motorcycle Oils.  Your
> question on the differences between Mobil 1 MX4T and Mobil 1 for Triumph is a
> good one.
> 
> First of all, both products are premium quality fully synthetic motorcycle oils
> that will provide exceptional performance in all 4-stroke motorcycles.  There a
> couple of small differences in the products, as part of their and expected
> application and target market segments, but the core high performance additive
> system is the same for each product.
> 
> Mobil 1 for Triumph is a SAE 15W-50 grade product, based on Mobil's European
> Mobil 1.  This product was fully tested by Triumph in-house and therefore is
> fully approved and recommended as the preferred product for Triumph motorcycles.
> 
> Mobil 1 MX4T is an SAE 10W-40 viscosity grade developed for the US market, where
> a 10W-40 grade is preferred for 4-stroke motorcycles, particularly Japanese
> sport models
> 
> In addition, we offer Mobil 1 V-Twin, an SAE 20W-50 grade, targetted for
> hot-running V-Twin powered bikes, particularily those that are air cooled.
> 
> As mentioned above, all three products will provide excellent performance and
> durability in any 4-stroke motorbike.  However, we offer the different grades to
> target the needs of different customers and different motorcycle manufacturer's
> recommendations.
> 
> Please let me know if you require any further information, and again, thank you
> for your interest in Mobil 1 Motorcycle Oil.
