The new Yamaha Tricity 300 for 2026 gets a light restyling and puts safety in the spotlight.
It introduces the first standard integrated airbag ever fitted to a scooter and adopts a braking system with cornering ABS. Another major new feature is an all-new instrument cluster, with a 4.2-inch color TFT display flanked by a 2.8-inch LCD screen. Smartphone connectivity is comprehensive. In addition, thanks to the partnership with Garmin, navigation directions are shown directly on the dashboard. Practicality is another strong point of the Tricity 300, with keyless ignition and an illuminated under-seat compartment that can accommodate two full-face helmets. The engine remains the proven 292 cc Blue Core unit, Euro 5+ compliant. Finally, the equipment list also highlights Standing Assist, which can keep the scooter upright at traffic lights. Offered in three colours: Milky White, Zen Green and Power Grey.
Honda enriches its 2026 range with two new additions: the CRF300L Red Edition, developed in close collaboration with RedMoto, together with an exclusive HRC livery dedicated to the SH125i and SH150i scooters. The first new addition is designed to offer top-tier performance and greater off-road capabilities than the standard model. It also features dual and off-road tyre approval, updated suspension with advanced cartridge forks and Öhlins shock absorbers, as well as dedicated components such as the AXP skid plate and Pirelli MT21 RallyCross tyres. The 286 cc single-cylinder engine benefits from technical improvements that enhance both power and delivery. More experienced motorcyclists can count on the CRF300L Red Edition Evo model featuring: Ergal footpegs, bimetal rear sprocket and racing handlebar. It will be available to order from May 2026. Alongside the new off-road models, Honda is offering the HRC “Tricolour” livery for the 2026 SH125i and SH150i scooters. The special series will be produced in 500 numbered units at the Honda Italian plant in Atessa (Chieti) and will feature fairings covered by a warranty of up to 6 years and dedicated spare parts also available.
Four years after its debut (born from a concept presented at EICMA 2019), the Ducati DesertX project started from scratch, by keeping in mind the goal of raising the bar in terms of overall effectiveness. The result is a motorcycle that has been refined and improved in all its aspects, without however being conceptually revolutionised. Thanks to the new polymer tank, slimmer and lighter, the centre of gravity has been lowered and the contact area with the seat has been reduced. The front section is also a couple of centimetres lower, contributing to a more streamlined overall appearance. The seat is 88 cm from the ground, reduced by 4 cm by adopting optional lowered seats and suspension. Its beating heart is the more compact and lighter V2, with IVT variable intake valve timing system. Power figures are confirmed: 110 hp and 92 Nm. Upstream of the final drive, obviously chain-driven, is a 6-speed gearbox served by Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 without external sensors. The gear ratios are specific, with the first gears rather short and suitable for off-road use, and the sixth gear more extended (according to initial rumours, at 130 km/h the V2 would run at around 5,800 rpm). The trellis frame has been replaced by an aluminium monocoque structure, which uses the engine as a stressed member (it also supports the swingarm). It also integrates the airbox (12.5 litres capacity): its new position also offers better access to the air filter. The swingarm (made of aluminium alloy) has also changed, now operating the monoshock via a new progressive linkage. The Kayaba monoshock provides 220 mm of wheel travel and is fully adjustable, as is the upside-down fork. The wheels are 21‘ at the front and 18’ at the rear and are fitted with 90/90 and 150/70 tyres respectively. The braking system is by Brembo. Based on a 6-axis inertial platform, the Ducati DesertX’s electronics ensure that the various controls are optimised for off-road use and can be customised in terms of calibration. “Enduro” and “Rally” options, designed for off-road use, are added to the Riding Modes predefined for asphalt (Touring, Urban, Sport and Wet). Four Power Modes are available, included the opportunity of reducing power to 95 or 75 hp. A version of the new DesertX, with power limited to 35 kW, for A2 licence holders is also offered.
After the record success of 2025, the International Motorcycle Exhibition renews its winning formula with demo rides on the road, track, and off-road, experiences for young people, shows, and entertainment.
After last year's success, the Eicma Riding Fest is ready to rev its engines again. The International Motorcycle Exhibition officially announces the third edition of the event entirely dedicated to motorcycle trials, scheduled for May 1-3, 2026, at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
Created to offer enthusiasts the chance to test drive the new models seen at EICMA in November on the road and on the track, the EICMA Riding Fest has established itself in just two years as a unique format on the international motorcycle scene, combining direct experience, entertainment, and interaction between the industry and the public. The figures for the 2025 edition – over 25,000 visitors and more than 15,000 test rides – confirmed the strength and strategic importance of the event in the EICMA calendar.
In 2026, the Misano paddock will once again be the beating heart of three days dedicated to a passion for two wheels. Confirmed are the road riding experiences in the hilly area surrounding the circuit, track tests and off-road trials, as well as specific areas reserved for younger riders, created in collaboration with the FMI (Italian Motorcycling Federation), which will see children and teenagers take part in preparatory activities and dedicated test rides.
There will also be a central stage with entertainment and in-depth discussions based on the MotoLive model, appearances by riders and motorsport legends, gaming activities, and special initiatives that contributed to the success of the first two editions, making the event a true festival for the motorcycle community.
Admission to Eicma Riding Fest 2026 will again be free, as will participation in the motorcycle trials made available by manufacturers, with the exception of the track sessions, which will continue to be for charitable purposes, with proceeds going to local charity projects.
The participating brands, the complete event program, and the procedures for accessing and booking the experiences will be announced in the coming weeks.
Yamaha expands its 2026 scooter range with the new NMax 155 Tech Max, equipped with a Euro5+ compliant 155 cc Blue Core engine (15 hp at 8,000 rpm; 2.4 litres per 100 km) with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology and Start & Stop system. The NMax 155 introduces the YECVT (Yamaha Electric Continuously Variable Transmission) with two selectable Riding Modes, Sport and Town. In ‘Sport’ mode, the gear ratio is shorter, the engine revs higher, acceleration results more responsive and engine braking is increased. Selecting ‘Town’ option, on the other hand, performance results smoother, by keeping an eye on comfort and fuel consumption . The difference is 1,000 rpm at 60 km/h: 5,000 versus 6,000 rpm. Yamaha has also equipped the NMAX 155 with a Downshift function: it can be activated by pressing a button or quickly opening the throttle. The effect is similar to that obtained by shifting down a gear with a standard gearbox. In terms of technology, this model is equipped with a 4.2" colour TFT display dashboard and integrated Garmin navigation system; MyRide app for managing calls and listening to music; USB-C socket for charging your smartphone. The new scooter, offered in Crystal Graphite and Midnight Black liveries, is completed by Smart Key ignition.
The curtain falls on the 82nd edition of EICMA – International Two-Wheeler Exhibition, and once again this year the results are record-breaking. In six days, more than 600,000 visitors, including the public, professionals, industry operators, and the media, confirmed the success of an edition that combined entertainment, business opportunities, and passion, confirming its status as a global benchmark for the industry, bikers, and motorcycle culture.
With over 730 exhibitors from 50 countries and more than 2,000 brands represented, EICMA 2025 consolidates the growth recorded in recent years and reaffirms its international dimension. The strength of the exhibition event lies in the numbers: from the post-Covid edition of 2021 to today, visitors, exhibitors, and floor space have literally doubled.
The 2025 figures for B2B operators are also significant: more than 43,000 professionals from 167 countries, profiled and accredited to higher standards than in the past, brought the pavilions to life on the days reserved for the sector, generating new networking and business opportunities. Particularly significant in this area was the increase in foreign operators, which rose by a solid 28% compared to 2024. In terms of communication, there was a further increase in the presence of journalists, media, technicians, and content creators, who exceeded 8,200 from 67 countries.
Among the most popular attractions at this year's event was the 20th anniversary of MotoLive, the outdoor arena covering over 60,000 square meters, the largest ever, which thrilled the audience with races, acrobatic shows, trials, competitions with twin-cylinder adventure bikes, and the extraordinary Champions Charity Race broadcast live on television, which brought together twelve motorsport legends for a good cause.
The exhibition was further enriched by the “Desert Queens” exhibition, created in collaboration with ASO – Amaury Sport Organisation: a tribute to the history and legend of the Dakar Rally, with 31 original motorcycles on display for the first time in Italy, and daily meetings with the protagonists of the world's most famous rally, which attracted more than 42,000 visitors.
The Y.U.M. – Your Urban Mobility area was also a great success, where thousands of visitors were able to try out more than 40 vehicles, including scooters, mopeds, and electric and endothermic quadricycles, free of charge. This 4,000 m² area confirmed EICMA's ability to interpret new trends in urban mobility.
The 2025 edition spoke the language of emotions with its slogan “That's Amore,” a hymn to the passion that unites manufacturers, riders, and the public. From the Tattoo Station, where more than 80,000 temporary tattoos were applied, to the central MotoLive stage, to the experiential content spread throughout the pavilions, passing through the Adventuring Area and the area dedicated to Start-ups and safety with the Police, the theme of belonging and love for two wheels permeated every space of the event.
The Gaming Area also confirmed its popularity, attracting thousands of young and not-sto-young alike to play on the simulators. Covering an impressive area of over 300 square meters, the largest ever created, visitors were able to enjoy immersive riding experiences thanks to eight state-of-the-art simulators with real motorcycles. The challenges at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli provided adrenaline and entertainment, enriched by the presence of VIPs, influencers, and international riders.
Finally, the extraordinary mobility plan implemented by EICMA with ATM, the Municipality of Milan, and Trenord was very well received. Thanks to the intelligent participation of the public and their behavior, more than 15,000 free parking spaces in the city, enhanced connections, and rail concessions ensured a smoother, more sustainable, and orderly visitor experience and access than in the past, despite EICMA's significant impact on the Milan metropolitan area, contributing to the success and record numbers of this edition.
“EICMA 2025 marks the full consecration of the transition from trade fair to global and attractive exhibition event,” said EICMA President Pietro Meda and CEO Paolo Magri. "We have worked hard to increase content, improve access to the exhibition, and enhance the visitor experience. The impressive numbers and quality of the content demonstrate how the event has become a unique experience that combines business, innovation, and passion. Credit and our thanks also go to the exhibitors and our partners, who believed and invested in this evolution, helping to make EICMA a lively place that showcases the present and future of the two-wheel industry."
With a total area of over 300,000 square meters and a rich and constantly evolving offering, EICMA 2025 closes on a high note of participation, innovation, and shared passion. The date has already been set for next year, from November 3 to 8, when the event will return to Fiera Milano Rho to write a new chapter in its century-long history.
Moto Guzzi arrives at EICMA 2025 without any revolutions but with a range that has been refreshed in recent years and is now perfectly in line with the times. From the V7 to the eclectic V85, and on to the tech-forward Stelvio, each model still has plenty to say. The strategy of Moto Guzzi is clear: enhance the current lineup through new colour schemes inspired by the brand’s history and tradition. The V7 Stone, the essential soul of the family, gains the new Sabbia Camo livery, while the V7 Special adds two glossy variants, Nero Smeraldo and Bianco 1969. The V7 Sport—recognisable by its upside-down fork, twin front discs, bar-end mirrors, and seat with red stitching—sees the return of the charming Rosso Monza to the catalogue. As for the V85, the urban-focused Strada version adopts Verde Legnano and Rosso Monza, a nod to the brand’s heritage. The standard V85 TT pays tribute to nature: Giallo Wadi evokes the beds of desert streams, while Grigio Yanar Dag with red accents is inspired by Azerbaijan’s eternal flames. The V85 TT Travel, featuring a 23-litre tank, touring windscreen, Urban panniers, heated grips and seat, and the Moto Guzzi MIA platform, wears the brand-new Blu Zefiro. Last but not least, the 2026 Stelvio introduces the Grigio Climbing and Verde Hiking liveries, colours that recall outdoor equipment. Finally, the Stelvio Duecento Tributo remains in the range— a limited edition in white, red, and blue dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the Stelvio Pass.

Among the keywords that best define the 2025 edition of EICMA are “safety” and “style”— and both concepts immediately bring Shoei to mind. The Japanese helmet manufacturer is showcasing some interesting new products to the Milan Fair, covering just about every market segment. The J•O2 open-face helmet has been developed for riders who love feeling at one with their surroundings. It is available in eight colours and four graphics. The snap buttons on the forehead area allow the attachment of optional peak visors. The six sizes (from XS to XXL) are built using four different outer shells. For the 2026 model, the integrated CJ-4 sun visor has been enlarged to meet ECE 22/06 regulations. This feature now also characterizes the Hornet ADV 06 crossover helmet, which likewise comes in six sizes derived from four shells. In the 2026 collection, it will be offered in five colours and two graphics. Another new feature for EICMA is the FIM 02–approved version of the X-SPR Pro racing helmet. The new X-SPR Pro 02 will be available in white and matte black at dealerships in early 2026. Last but not least, among the previews is the GT-Air 3 Smart, which marks the debut of an integrated HUD (head-up display) visor. This system allows GPS directions, speed information, and phone calls to be projected into the rider’s field of view on the integrated sun visor. The GT-Air 3 Smart helmet and the Eyelights HUD system will be sold separately from the end of next year.

Jeréz de la Frontera is a special place for Kove. On the Spanish circuit in 2024, the brand achieved the first-ever international championship victory for a Chinese production motorcycle. In 2025, the 350RR experienced another moment of glory there, carrying Beñat Fernández to the SSP300 World Championship title. To celebrate this achievement, Kove is unveiling the new 350RR Jerez at EICMA. The bike inherits that legacy and racing spirit. Its 344 cc twin-cylinder engine is all-new and weighs 2.7 kg less than before. It tips the scales at just 36.7 kg, helping keep the overall weight down to 164 kg. Maximum output is 35 kW (47.6 hp) and torque is 32.2 Nm. The rider can manage it all by choosing between two riding modes, Sport and Eco. The steel frame has been reinforced. As for the suspension, the front features a 37 mm upside-down fork, while the rear is equipped with a preload-adjustable monoshock. The 17” wheels come with 110/70 and 150/60 tyres. The brake discs measure 320 mm and 220 mm, with ABS keeping them in check, paired with electronic traction control. Standard equipment also includes full LED lighting and a high-definition TFT display.
