Product Description
The Motiv Forge Fuel is the newest addition to Motiv's high-performance Forge lineup, purpose-built for bowlers who need control and continuation on the heaviest oil conditions without sacrificing one for the other. Where many heavy-oil solids force a trade-off — reading too early and quitting, or skidding too far before engaging the lane — the Forge Fuel is engineered to do both.
At the core of the Forge Fuel is the proven Detonator Symmetrical weight block, delivering a low RG (2.47 for 15lb) and high differential (.055 for 15lb) that get the ball revving early for reliable traction in heavy oil, while generating the flare and continuation needed to drive strongly through the pocket.
Wrapping that core is the all-new Leverage MXT Solid Reactive coverstock, finished at 1000-Grit LSS straight out of the box. Built with Duramax additive technology, the MXT cover holds its surface longer, smooths out mid-lane transition, and produces more responsive continuation than the Leverage MXC cover used on the Subzero Forge — giving competitive bowlers the same trusted mid-lane control with noticeably more length through the pins.
With a Length rating of 55, Backend of 73, Hook of 78, and Flare Potential of 5"+, the Forge Fuel is versatile enough for speed-dominant bowlers on fresh oil, balanced players bridging the gap between the Jackal Onyx and cleaner benchmark balls like the Primal Ghost, and rev-dominant crankers tackling the heaviest volume and wet-dry patterns with surface adjustments.
The Motiv Forge Fuel is available in weights from 12 to 16 lbs and ships in a striking orange, red, and yellow marbled swirl finish with the signature black Forge logo. Pre-order yours today for its September 16, 2026 release.
