Mugen Expands Racing Repertoire With 2022 FIM E-Xplorer Entry

The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) is the governing body for several of the world's most renowned motorcycle racing series. The E-Xplorer series, which will debut in 2022, will have five events in urban and nature settings around the world. It's the world's first all-electric off-road motorcycle racing series, with racing venues set in the United States and Switzerland.

That said, the racing series is about to get much more thrilling, as famed Japanese racing outfit M-TEC Company Ltd, also known as Mugen, has secured a spot as a factory manufacturer in the first FIM E-Xplorer World Cup, which will take place later this year. M-TEC has a long history in racing, dating back to 1973, when Hirotoshi Honda created the company. Since then, it has grown to become one of the most successful teams in both two and four wheeled motorsport. The company was founded to develop the most competitive racing engines in Japan, and it began by tuning and manufacturing OEM parts for Hirotoshi's father's company, Honda.
