The Final Countdown to MCL25 is on!
The clock’s ticking – there’s only a couple of days before we throw open the doors to this year’s MCL25 at The NEC, Birmingham. Doors open at 10am on Saturday, and we’ve got a packed nine day schedule to look forward to.
Hot on the heels of EICMA, close to 50 manufacturers will be showcasing their latest models – MCL is your only chance in the UK to see them all under one roof.
A star-studded line up of racing royalty join James Whitham & Jack Burnicle on the Black Horse Stage throughout the show. Highlights include:
MCL’s BSB Day – Sunday 16 November: newly announced Honda Racing UK rider Ryan Vickers, BSB stars Storm Stacey and Knockhill podium-finisher Fraser Rogers (TAG Honda). Alongside them will be 23-time Isle of Man TT race winner John McGuinness MBE
Finale Weekend – 22-23 November: includes the ACU Awards Ceremony, announcement of MCN’s Rider of the Year, plus 2025 Bennetts British Superbike Champion Kyle Ryde takes to the stage
Grace Webb is back with her Expert Lab, and has a packed daily schedule, including:
Leon Haslam being ‘blown-up’ in a test of Dainese’s Air Bag technology
Hiplok proving just how strong their locks really are – ear defenders ready!
Indepth interviews with industry insiders
Student Days – Tuesday & Thursday
Free entry for sixth-form and university students to learn about careers and innovation in the motorcycle industry.
But that’s not all…
We have a number of test ride zones, rolling roads and the SuperBike Sim, as well as the Moto Action Show, where FMX and Trials riders flip, trick & jump their way into visitors’ memories.
