Electric Motion Takes Gold. Electric Leads.

March 30, 2025, will be remembered as a turning point in the history of French trial racing. On this day, an electric motorcycle claimed the top spot in the most prestigious national competition for the first time ever. Benoît Bincaz, riding for the EM Factory Team, took a commanding win at the opening round of the FFM French Elite Trial Championship in Goudargues – with a 16-point lead aboard the all-electric EM Epure FACTOR-e.

👉 At the heart of this groundbreaking machine beats a motor controller from siliXcon – a key component delivering precise power management, instant responsiveness, and reliable performance under extreme conditions. It’s a technology built to perform at the highest level – without compromise.

This historic moment proves that e-mobility is ready not just to compete, but to win. At siliXcon, we’re proud to be part of this story. Our motor controller helped power EM’s remarkable success – a milestone that transcends motorsport and points clearly to the future of high-performance electric systems.

“Victories like this confirm that robust, intelligent motor control is a cornerstone of modern e-mobility – and what we build at siliXcon is having real-world impact, both on the track and beyond,” says the siliXcon team.

Outstanding Performance. No Compromises.

What makes this win even more impressive? Benoît Bincaz achieved it with minimal training time on the FACTOR-e. His success is a testament to raw talent, the dedication of the EM team, and the dependable technology underneath – providing seamless control, balance, and precision across every section of the course.

Rider Margaux Pena also delivered a standout performance, finishing 8th in the mixed-gender Senior 2 category and stepping onto the podium with 3rd place in Elite Women. The team was led by seasoned pro Jeroni Fajardo, debuting in his new role as team manager. Though Gaël Chatagno couldn’t race due to injury, he was right there on the sections, supporting his teammates throughout the weekend – the mark of true team spirit.

Technology That Keeps Up with the Best

For siliXcon, this victory is a powerful validation: our motor control technologies are engineered not just for demanding environments – but for winning.

We’re proud to collaborate with brands that inspire us. To support them not only at the start of their journey, but all the way to the winner’s podium. This result proves that the right technology, in the right system, is capable of achievements that once seemed far off in the future.

🚀 Next stop: the World Championship in southern Spain.
EM and siliXcon continue the ride – and the future of motorsport is electric.
