Get ready for the International Dirt Bike Show
Excitement is growing in the off-road world and that can mean only one thing… the International Dirt Bike Show in partnership with MOTUL is nearly here.
There’s a little less than two months to go until the must-attend showpiece gets under way at Warwickshire’s Stoneleigh Park and once again the major manufacturers will gather at Europe’s biggest off-road indoor event to showcase their latest ranges.
The most recognisable names in the industry will come together with a staggering number of bikes covering virtually every off-road discipline there is, both on display and for sale, including 2017 models for motocross, trials and enduro.
Among the big-hitters to be gracing the venue this year, Honda, Husqvarna, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha will pack production machines into Hall 2, alongside other examples from Beta, Bultaco, Fantic, Gas Gas, JotaGas, Mecatecno, Rieju, Sherco and Vertigo in Hall 3, together with Revolution Speedway, Ifor Williams and displays of classic machines.
Bikes aren’t the only attraction though, as over in the retail hall – Hall 1 – you can expect to see kit, accessories, clothing and much more besides on offer from distributors, along with outlets offering the latest 2016 goods for superb prices.
With the show taking place in late October, it’s the perfect time to stock up ahead of a new year of riding, or get your hands on a few perfect Christmas presents for your nearest and dearest.
And the show isn’t all about getting you to part with your hard-earned either. There’s plenty to get involved with and watch, including visitor favourites such as the Minibike Supercross, on-stage entertainment, have-a-go electric trials, trials demonstrations and the amazing Wall of Death. The younger members of the family are looked after too with a dedicated Electric Trials area for kids, Quads, radio controlled motorcycle racing and Strider balance bikes.
Plus, from rider interviews to award presentations, the Hall 2 stage is a hub of activity and many of your favourite stars will appear throughout the show’s four days.
