RIDERS Festival 2026: motorcycle experience and test riding

On May 30 and 31, 2026, the Autotron in Rosmalen will be fully dedicated to the renewed RIDERS Festival. This year, the event will receive a strong impulse through a unique collaboration between Motor.NL Media Company, MOTORbeurs Utrecht of Royal Jaarbeurs and motorcycle importers. The result is a large-scale outdoor motorcycle event in which riding, discovering and meeting are central.

Almost all brands present

“At RIDERS Festival it’s all about riding, discovery and the shared passion for motorcycles. We expect more visitors this year than last year, partly because almost all motorcycle brands participate together,” said Nick Glattli on behalf of Motor.NL Media Company.

Wide program Riders Festival

Organizers are counting on 12,000 to 15,000 visitors. In addition to test rides, the Festival offers a broad program with entertainment such as crazy kart track, demonstrations, music and various stands. “This will be the time of the year when you can test ride several motorcycles in one day and experience the differences immediately,” says Tom Crooijmans, section chairman Motorcycles at RAI Association.

From trade show floor to driving experience

The RIDERS Festival is a logical follow-up to MOTORbeurs Utrecht, says Rachel Jankowsky, exhibition manager of the motorcycle fair at Royal Jaarbeurs. “At the 40th edition of MOTORbeurs Utrecht, we were able to welcome 97,000 visitors. During the RIDERS Festival we will build on this positive momentum,” Jankowsky said.

Test driving on public roads

Test rides take place on public roads and are professionally supervised. Participation is free for visitors with a valid motorcycle license. Experience is key: riding and comparing motorcycles yourself is at the heart of the event.
