This from Motul:

French lubricant manufacturer Motul recently expanded its long-standing partnership with ARCH Motorcycle. The expanded partnership will see the Los Angeles-based high-end custom production motorcycle company, co-founded by Gard Hollinger and Keanu Reeves, incorporate Motul’s line of metalworking coolants into its manufacturing process.

MotulTech, a division of the Motul group, specializes in the machining and transformation of metals as well as high-performance lubrication for industrial equipment. MotulTech has established a key role in ARCH Motorcycle’s development of custom parts for its line of motorcycles. Motul provides premium metalworking coolant and machining lubricant solutions for ARCH, in addition to serving as ARCH’s exclusive provider of lubricants.

Hollinger is keen to emphasise that Motul have assisted them in improving their production quality due to the lubricant and manufacturing coolant chemistry and feed off Motul’s motorcycle racing experience.

It appears to be a match made in heaven for this performance cruiser boutique brand manufacturer who produce the KRGT-1, Arch 1S and the Arch Method 143.
