The UK's largest biking show!

Once again, this year’s Elite Test Ride Zone at MCL26 will feature a fantastic line up of bikes from leading manufacturers, both big & small.

Places are free, although strictly limited, and all bookings are taken in person, on the day. To secure your space, simply head to the Elite Test Ride Zone in Hall 4 upon show opening for morning sessions, or after lunch (timing TBC) for afternoon ride-outs.

Thanks to the teams from our Official Partners RST, Arai & AGV, who are again providing all safety kit required, all you need to bring with you is your licence.

RST provide affordable yet high-performance motorcycle apparel to motorcycle riders all over the world.  We believe Trust is Everything – every rider should have access to the very best protective apparel and technology – allowing them to ride confidently and comfortably. RST’S entire collection is CE certified, and their partnership with In&Motion brings integrated airbag technology to the masses.

ARAI: Dedicated to protection for over 70 years, all Arai Helmets are made by hand. Through evolution and improved technologies our experience and knowhow continues to protect riders’ heads, whether a commuter or racer. From our very first helmet to those we make today, rider protection remains our first priority!

AGV has been a leading force in helmet design and motorcycle racing since its foundation, ceaselessly innovating every area from aerodynamics, comfort and safety to graphics, sponsorship and advertising.

All brands mentioned will be available at multiple retailers at MCL26.

Riders will be accompanied on their ride by experienced outriders, with the opportunity to receive feedback on your riding style, alongside the chance to ask questions and learn from experienced instructors.  The Elite Rider initiative will have staff on hand to discuss post-test training opportunities which may enhance your ride.

This feature is only available to visitors who have held a relevant UK licence for 12 months, have no more than six points and are under 70 years of age. This can only be booked at the show on a first come, first served basis and bookings will be taken in the morning and in the afternoon.

What can I ride?

A valid ticket to the show is required to take part in this feature. 

You must hold a valid motorcycle licence and you must be legally entitled to ride the motorcycle provided. You will not be able to ride any motorcycle if your licence is currently suspended or if you are subject to a ban. You will be asked to sign a declaration to this effect. This will be a legal declaration and failure to declare any ban or suspension may lead to prosecution and will invalidate any insurances provided, and you would therefore be liable for any damage or claims arising as a result of your ride. We operate a zero tolerance on alcohol consumption and only riders of suitable proficiency will be able to participate. You will need to produce your licence to participate. No riders over the age of 70-years-old will be permitted to take part.

All information correct at time of release.
