Focusing the event on safe biking, the festival aims to provide visitors with the opportunity to experience the benefits of biking in a safe and controlled environment, direct from the brands and experts. From young children through to the retired, there will be an opportunity to try, ride and buy motorcycles as well as see and be part of other motorcycle related pursuits.
Nicole Muller, portfolio director at Clarion Events adds: "Our long-term aim in creating this event will be to drive awareness to a potential new target audience each year and create a sustainable, annual and internationally recognised brand that will bring together the experienced and the young motivators to encourage and grow a new generation of motorcyclists in South Africa and beyond."
Headline media partner, Discovery Channel and confirmed manufacturers BMW, Triumph, Kawasaki, Indian & Victory, Polaris, Linhai Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, SYM, KTM, Can-Am, Husqvarna and Ducati, among others, will also showcase their brands alongside live music and celebrities, motorcycle parades, custom bike competitions and displays, as well as stunt and enduro-cross entertainment.
