Spanish gaskets, seals and air cleaner specialist Artein is entering the off-road/MX market with its X-Radical 'Super Gaskets' range of advanced compounds for extreme applications.
Founded in 1958, Artein is based at Girona in north eastern Spain and is a major European gasket manufacturer, noted for its advanced technology, precision manufacturing and performance materials research and development.
Export Sales Manager Esther Junca told IDN that "our research showed us that in the extreme conditions of off-road riding and racing there was a need for a gaskets programme that was engineered and specified to deal with the unique and uniquely challenging conditions that off-road components have to deal with.
"Our new X-Radical range of robust and durable materials and designs, including Foamet gasket technology, are engineered specifically for the stresses and wear that engine and transmission components are exposed to. Engine and gearbox failures due to gasket failure have always been a big issue for motocross riders and racers. X-Radical 'Super Gaskets' are specified to meet those challenges and deliver reliable sealing and longer service intervals - another big issue for off-road engine tuners."
