Following its strong performance in the MX2 World Championship, Triumph is refreshing the TF 250-X for the 2027 season. The new version of the bike introduces a series of innovations developed in a racing context, with targeted improvements to the engine, chassis and components.

The 249.9 cc single-cylinder 4-stroke engine retains a claimed power output of 48 CV at 13,500 rpm, complemented by new electronic calibration that optimises throttle response, power delivery smoothness and torque management. The powertrain also features new valve guides, updated clutch components and a new selector drum, to improve gear-shifting precision, durability and consistency. Significant updates have also been made to the Kayaba suspension, with revised settings and new tool-free adjustment mechanisms. The 48 mm AOS fork and the monoshock with separate reservoir are paired with new Neken steering heads made from 7075-T6 aluminium, featuring recalibrated stiffness. The specification also includes a Brembo braking system with Galfer discs, a ProTaper ACF handlebar, dual engine mapping, Launch Control, Traction Control and Quickshifter. Controls and ergonomics have also been updated, whilst the new styling package features all-black plastic components, graphics and fork protectors.

Zero Motorcycles is revving up two decades of electric evolution. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the pioneering brand is unleashing a limited-run version of the SR/F, alongside fresh colorways across its entire street and dual sport lineups.

Back when the SR/F first roared onto the scene in 2019, it completely rewrote the rulebook for Zero. Built from the ground up as a revolutionary platform, it fused the cutting-edge Z-Force powertrain, the brainy Cypher III operating system, Bosch Motorcycle Stability Control, and an all-new chassis architecture—forging a machine engineered purely for raw performance, absolute control, and digital connectivity. Fast forward seven years, and it remains a pure, unfiltered expression of Zero’s founding vision. Today's SR/F churns out a thrilling 190 Nm of torque and 83 kW of power, delivering lightning-fast electric throttle response for a ride that feels intensely athletic, razor-sharp, and totally wired to the rider. The SR/F 20th Anniversary Edition takes this legacy to the next level with a stealthy Jet Black and gold aesthetic, decked out with top-tier premium components. True to its collector status, only 20 units will ever hit select European showrooms, and each one comes bundled with an exclusive, limited-edition 20th Anniversary gear bag. Furthermore, Zero is giving its classic street and dual sport stables a wardrobe overhaul. Hitting the asphalt in 2027, these bold new paint schemes will give riders even more ways to wear their attitude on two wheels.

Leading the charge for the brand’s 2027 collection debuting at EICMA, the Stylmartin Reed technical sneaker boasts a high-top, wraparound silhouette engineered for ultimate ankle stability.

Packed with top-tier features, the shoe integrates internal PU ankle guards, a tonal leather gear shifter pad, a shock-absorbing micro-perforated anatomic insole, and subtle reflective inserts. Its rugged Vibram extra-light EVA lug sole delivers exceptional grip and featherlight comfort whether you are tearing up the asphalt or walking the streets. Finished with dual-color lace options and understated branding, its design transitions seamlessly off the bike. The Reed is available in two distinct versions: the WP, crafted from sleek black nubuck leather with a waterproof membrane designed to conquer cold and rainy days, and the AIR, rendered in a striking petrol hue with a breathable air mesh lining built for milder climates. Fully CE-certified, the model comes in sizes 39 to 47.

Ducati presents the 2027 Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak. In its centenary year, the Borgo Panigale crossover sports a brand-new livery created by the Ducati Centro Stile in collaboration with Drudi Performance, inspired by the Desmosedici GP and Panigale V4 R machines competing in the MotoGP and Superbike world championships.

Alongside the new livery are premium components, such as the type-approved titanium Akrapovič exhaust and carbon fiber elements. Completing the racing-style look are a low smoked windscreen and gold-anodized Öhlins fork legs. Moreover, thanks to the Ducati Factory Made program, the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak can be configured during the ordering process with an almost bespoke level of detail. Options include red-forged wheels, red or black brake calipers, alternative seat heights, additional carbon fiber parts, auxiliary lights, and a luggage set complete with a top case. The technical foundation remains unchanged, featuring a 17-inch front wheel, Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension capable of balancing sporty handling with comfort, and a 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine delivering 170 hp. The Race Riding Mode introduces a more gradual limiter intervention for more effective shifting performance at the upper end of the rev range, while the quickshifter offers more aggressive downshifts. The High Power Mode, on the other hand, delivers a more direct throttle response. Compared to the standard Multistrada V4, the Pikes Peak is equipped with higher footpegs and a lower handlebar to promote a sportier riding position. The advanced electronic package is also confirmed, featuring both front and rear radar technology that enables Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), along with Blind Spot Detection (BSD) and Forward Collision Warning.

Honda Montesa presents its 2027 trial range and confirms the three models in its line-up: the Cota 301RR, the Cota 4RT 260R and the 4Ride.

At the top of the range is the 301RR, featuring a 298 cc single-cylinder engine derived from the Trial2 and a racing specification that includes an aluminium frame, billet-machined steering heads, high-performance brakes and carbon fibre components. The 4RT 260R retains the Showa fork, aluminium frame and technical configuration of the previous version. Both models feature new graphics: the 301RR sports a white and red livery; the 4RT 260R opts for red and black. The 4Ride, meanwhile, reaffirms its suitability for longer rides, with an aluminium silencer and swingarm and a 4.3-litre fuel tank. The range is rounded off by new Montesa Genuine Accessories. 

After a few years away, Kawasaki brings back the supercharged Ninja H2 for the 2027 model year in two variants. On one side is the road-legal Ninja H2, while on the other is the H2R, exclusively designed for track use.

Giving the project a new lease of life is a major update that leaves the styling largely unchanged while almost completely revising the mechanics. Specifically, the changes include the compressor impeller, fuel system, pistons, cylinder head, cylinders, crankshaft and camshafts. The throttle bodies, exhaust system and transmission ratios are also new. The result for the road-going Ninja H2 is 209 hp with Ram Air at speed, together with even stronger mid-range torque. The H2R, meanwhile, raises the performance bar even further, exceeding 300 hp. On the chassis side, alongside the steel trellis frame, there are numerous high-end components, including KYB AOS-II forks, an Öhlins TTX36 rear shock and Brembo Hypure front brake calipers. The equipment also includes a new instrument cluster and a comprehensive suite of rider-assistance systems, including revised KTRC traction control and KLCM launch control. As for colours, the only option is Mirror Coated Spark Black, while alongside the standard version, the limited-edition Ninja H2 Carbon is also available.

The first major project born from the alliance between MotoGP and EICMA is unveiled at the Red Bull Grand Prix of San Marino and the Rimini Riviera. For the first time in the history of the International Two-Wheeler Exhibition, more than 70 years of premier-class racing will come together in an exhibition covering over 1,400 square metres: more than 35 motorcycles, interactive content and a high-impact visual experience. The MotoGP Gaming Arena, fan engagement activities and the chance to win exclusive experiences at the 2027 Italian Grands Prix further strengthen a partnership that will bring MotoGP throughout EICMA

MISANO ADRIATICO, 11 SEPTEMBER 2026 – From Mugello to Misano, with Milan as the destination. EICMA.SHIFT UP moves into high gear. Just over three months after announcing the strategic partnership between MotoGP and EICMA, the two global platforms of the two-wheel world have unveiled, at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli during the Red Bull Grand Prix of San Marino and the Rimini Riviera, the first major project born from their collaboration.

It is called “Legends of Speed”, an exhibition that, for the first time in EICMA’s history, will bring to the International Two-Wheeler Exhibition a major showcase dedicated to more than 70 years of premier-class Grand Prix motorcycle racing.

From 5 to 8 November 2026 at Fiera Milano Rho, more than 1,400 square metres in Hall 22 will host over 35 iconic motorcycles. The journey will begin with the AJS Porcupine 500, the motorcycle on which Leslie Graham claimed the inaugural 500cc World Championship title in 1949, before travelling through the great eras of the Championship: from the three- and four-cylinder MV Agusta 500s ridden by Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read to the Yamahas that shaped the history of the premier class, including Valentino Rossi’s; from the legendary Honda NSRs to the Suzukis of Kevin Schwantz and Franco Uncini, through to the Ducatis of the more recent era and an absolute masterpiece of Italian engineering, the Moto Guzzi 500 V8. Bringing the journey full circle will be the official MotoGP machines from the five manufacturers competing in the 2026 World Championship, brought together as part of the exhibition.

Motorcycles and riders will take centre stage in an immersive journey that will draw a parallel between the evolution of technology and that of the riders who have continued to push the limits of speed. A high-impact visual installation, archive images and materials, audiovisual and interactive content will create an experience designed to engage both passionate fans and new generations. The project has been developed by EICMA together with MotoGP, with the involvement of the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) in showcasing and celebrating the Championship’s historic and sporting heritage.

“Our partnership with EICMA allows us to bring MotoGP even closer to the fans and to tell the story of our sport beyond the racetrack,” said Carlos Ezpeleta, Deputy CEO of MotoGP Group. “Legends of Speed celebrates an extraordinary history, but above all it creates a bridge between MotoGP’s heritage and its present, defined by technology, entertainment and constant evolution. EICMA is a unique global platform for the world of two wheels, and together we want to offer fans new ways to experience MotoGP, while also reaching new audiences and younger generations. All the initiatives we are developing together are moving precisely in this direction.”

“At Mugello we announced a vision; at Misano we are beginning to show its concrete results,” said Paolo Magri, CEO of EICMA, and Pietro Meda, President of EICMA S.p.A. “Legends of Speed perfectly embodies the spirit of SHIFT UP: bringing together the highest expression of motorcycle sport with the place where the global two-wheel industry meets and presents its future. Bringing together more than 70 years of history, all the way through to the MotoGP machines racing today, means offering the public an extraordinary experience and showing how competition, technology, products and passion are all part of the same ecosystem.”

But “Legends of Speed” will be just one chapter in the MotoGP–EICMA partnership. In November, the pinnacle of motorcycle racing will become part of the EICMA experience through activations and touchpoints throughout the event, fan engagement initiatives, digital content and activities dedicated to the public. These will include the MotoGP Gaming Arena, a space dedicated to gaming and younger generations, adding another dimension to the MotoGP experience at EICMA.

The collaboration will also create tangible opportunities for EICMA visitors: throughout the event, the public will be able to take part in activities and initiatives offering the chance to win exclusive experiences at the 2027 MotoGP Grands Prix at Mugello and Misano. This direct connection between Milan and the racetracks further strengthens EICMA’s role as an active MotoGP partner, bringing together industry, sport and fans while extending the Championship experience beyond race weekends.

Further initiatives will be unveiled in the coming weeks, continuing the Road to EICMA that began at Mugello and now takes another significant step towards Milan at Misano.

From the racetrack to the industry, from the motorcycles that made history to those writing the story today: EICMA.SHIFT UP accelerates.

Riding from bright sunshine into the darkness of a tunnel, or facing variable lighting conditions along the road, can truly test any motorcyclist...

Loboo launches the HL08, a smart electrochromic visor that darkens or lightens thanks to a liquid crystal technology capable of reacting in real time, in just 0.01 seconds, to changes in brightness. This solution results much faster than photochromic visors, which instead take several seconds, and at the same time much more practical than a dark inner sun visor that needs to be lowered or raised every time. The Loboo HL08 operates in two modes: Automatic, where the sensor handles everything on its own, or Manual, using an integrated control on the side of the visor that gives you the freedom to easily adjust the tint level, even while wearing gloves. It weighs just 30 grams and installs using an adhesive system on most helmets currently on the market without permanent modifications, allowing you to upgrade your existing helmet without having to replace it. The multi-layer structure includes an anti-fog treatment, an anti-scratch surface, and a hydrophobic coating to maintain visibility even in rain and high humidity, while power is provided by a rechargeable battery via a USB-C port.

Honda adds to its CB750 Hornet range a trio of never-before-seen two-tone colour options: Gunmetal Black Metallic paired with Ballistic Black Metallic, Glint Wave Blue with Mat Ballistic Black Metallic, and finally Grand Prix Red alongside Gunmetal Black Metallic.

Mechanically, everything remains confirmed, starting with the 755 cc twin-cylinder engine featuring an eight-valve Unicam valve train and a 270° crank, capable of delivering 92 hp at 9,500 rpm and 75 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm. The engine is paired with the innovative Honda E-Clutch electronic control clutch featuring Throttle By Wire. This system allows for smooth and fast gear changes simply by using the gear pedal, without having to pull the clutch lever, thus making riding easier. The clutch lever still remains on the handlebar for those who prefer to shift traditionally. The twin-cylinder is mounted in the center of the steel diamond frame. Regarding suspension, the 2027 Honda CB750 Hornet retains the 41 mm Showa SFF-BP fork and the monoshock with Pro-Link linkage and adjustable preload. The electronics feature five riding modes, three standard and two customizable by the rider; the instrumentation relies on a five-inch color TFT display with RoadSync. The 2027 Honda CB750 Hornet is also available in a 35 kW version for riders with an A2 license.
