The incredible specialists in four-wheeled drifting return, the crazy show of Drifting branded by Area51 and ACSI Motorsport: in Area C, we will see professional drivers from all over Italy – and not only – performing full-throttle drifts. To note the prestigious presence of the Liqui Moly Drift Team. The program includes activities from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for all three days of the event.
INTERNATIONAL STUNTMAN SHOW AND “SCHOOL OF POLICE”
Highly anticipated and particularly appreciated by the public is also the global contest dedicated to stunt riders, the International Stuntman Show, which will see more than 20 teams competing for the coveted title of best stuntman of the year, not to be missed in Area A. Presence from Brazil, Lithuania, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic, and a top-level tricolor formation.

RIOTRIDERS AND THE FREESTYLE MOTOCROSS SHOW

SWANK RALLY WINTER EDITION
In just a few years, the off-road event organized by Deus Ex Machina and Adventure Riding has already become a classic capable of combining adventure, competitiveness and the right attention to style.
On the occasion of Motor Bike Expo 2023, the Swank Rally Winter Edition will be held in Verona: a special edition dedicated to the bravest off-road enthusiasts who will immerse themselves in the most picturesque landscapes of the Verona area to tackle the itinerary provided by the Rally. It will start right from Veronafiere with the first special stage, set up in the MBE urban enduro track.
The route will pass through the historic center of Verona, Isolo, Teatro Romano, Ponte Pietra and then climb into Valpolicella, crossing Lessinia, before descending into the hinterland of Lake Garda. Here, in Pastrengo, a refreshment point awaits participants at an impressive and scenic 1860s Austrian fort, current home of MC Eat Sleep Ride, a partner in the initiative. On the way back, after a total distance of 110km, the second special stage will be set up right in the Fairgrounds. The initiative is by invitation only and will be attended by riders, journalists and entertainment personalities.
HARLEY-DAVIDSON PAN AMERICA 1250 WITH JOAN PEDRERO
To celebrate its 120th anniversary, Harley-Davidson will bring to MBE 2023 veteran rider Joan Pedrero, who has 14 appearances and two Dakar stage wins to his credit. An exceptional athlete, able to “put the new H-D Pan America to the whip,” bringing out all its qualities in the off-road arena. In fact, Motor Bike Expo represents the prologue of a path that will see Pedrero and his Harley-Davidson protagonists of the most important off-road events of 2023.
Want to see what the new Pan America 1250 is made of? All you have to do is attend Joan’s performance in Area D at Motor Bike Expo.
JEEP EXPERIENCE
Getting into a Jeep is always a thrill, but doing it on a ramp at the maximum incline is a unique opportunity. Visitors to MBE 2023 will be able to test the power and safety features of the unstoppable 4×4s that have made the American brand an icon. Test drives of the latest Jeep models will be available for the Motor Bike Expo audience, Friday through Sunday. Passion for motoring once again extends to the world of four wheels.
AT MOTORCYCLE SCHOOL WITH RIDERS MARCO LUCCHINELLI AND GIANLUCA NANNELLI
Two great racers on the track once upon a time, now certified instructors. Who better to reveal the secrets of two wheels than Marco Lucchinelli, world champion in 500 in 1981, and Gianluca Nannelli, Italian champion in Supersport in 2003? “Lucky” and “Nanna” await at MBE 2023 children and aspiring motorcyclists who want to move their first meters on a motorcycle. In fact, the goal is precisely to introduce anyone who wants to to motorcycles in a simple and natural way. The “Lucchinelli Experience” and the “Nannelli Riders Academy,” using trained staff, will be pleased to introduce young and old to the world of motorcycling. You can meet them for a lesson in the “D” outdoor area of the Power Show at Motor Bike Expo.
