Record-breaking Motor Bike Expo: 167.000 visitors reached

Motor Bike Expo, the show dedicated to motorbikes and motorcyclists, celebrates its tenth year with a bang, surpassing the record of 160 thousand visitors recorded during the last season. There will be four days of the event: one more this year to celebrate the tenth anniversary, together with over 700 exhibiting companies in the sector, with the most important manufacturers, the best customization workshops and the best-known brands in the field of clothing, accessories and components .

Motor Bike Expo has confirmed itself as an international point of reference, thanks to the presence of the most famous motorcycle customizers in the world, coming from Europe and the United States but also from the United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Japan, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. For four days, the five external areas, for a total of 21 thousand square metres, hosted more than 60 events including races, test drives and performances by drivers and stuntmen. There are many new features this edition, from the debut of the MBE Award which awarded the most beautiful special motorbike in the "The Art of Kustom" contest, a challenge between the best helmet decorators, to the debut of the Italian Indoor Trial Championship. “This year's experiment was fully successful and therefore becomes the future. Motor Bike Expo needed to add a day to continue growing. The extra opening day was appreciated, allowing 167.000 visitors to be reached. Motor Bike Expo looks forward to the next edition”, the organizers said in unison Paula Somma e Francesco Agnoletto.

Outside the pavilions, the Show closed with a Sunday of great participation in all the shows that animated the four days of MBE 2018. The presence of MOTUL as the main sponsor of the event was also fundamental for this edition: in over 200 square meters of stand set up in pavilion 6, visitors were able to appreciate the technology of the new products and experience "augmented reality" experiences. At the Motul Arena, in Area A, visitors were literally left speechless by the performances of the European Stunt Contest. The competition, now in its fourth edition, saw 18 drivers competing not only from Italy, but also from Croatia, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Slovakia, Denmark and even Brazil. The winner, Mike Jensen, was awarded first prize money and visibility in front of tens of thousands of fans. The Danish specialist preceded the Polish Pawel Karbownick and the Russian Danis Rybalko. Out of the competition, but of great impact, were also the performances of the stuntmen from the Mirabilandia Police School and the Quadrift pilots, but also the elaborate Vespas of Nicola the Wheeler, a presence that has now become traditional for the Verona public.
