Motovesna Returns to Expocentre with a Multifold Program for Motorcycle Enthusiasts
The organizers are keeping some details under wraps for the upcoming Motovesna exhibition, maintaining an air of secrecy around a portion of the event. While large brands such as Honda and Harley-Davidson paused activities in Russia, this development is not expected to derail Motovesna itself. The expo is scheduled to take place at the Expocentre on Krasnopresnenskaya Naberezhnaya from April 8 to 10, and preparations are underway to deliver a comprehensive showcase for riders and industry professionals alike.
The anniversary edition will feature the XV Moscow Custom & Tuning Show, highlighting more than 40 one‑of‑a‑kind custom motorcycles. This platform also serves as the official stage for the AMD World Customizing Championship, providing a rare opportunity to see Russia’s top custom builds on display and judged by renowned experts in the field.
Next to Motovesna, the pavilions will host Velokult, a cycling exhibition that will introduce a diverse range of bicycles to attendees. Additionally, the Motorsport Expo 2025 will present racing equipment from both the USSR heritage and contemporary Russia, drawing participation from teams and notable figures such as the KAMAZ-master squad, Anastasia Nifontova, and Sergei Sirotkin, among others.
Within the Motovesna footprint, visitors will also find the EDrive electric transport hall. Here, a dedicated conference will address current challenges and opportunities in Russian electrical engineering, offering first-hand insights into emerging trends and technologies in the sector.
The event also features the Moscow Knife Culture Festival, attracting knife enthusiasts, reenactors, athletes, and curious visitors. This festival sits alongside the other exhibitions, all accessible with a single Motovesna admission ticket, creating a cohesive experience for guests with varied interests.
In a move that enhances the festival atmosphere, each attendee will have a chance to win a motorcycle as part of a prize draw hosted by the Moscow Ministry of Transport. The promotion is linked to the “Moscow is a city for motorcyclists” initiative and includes a simple participation quest. Additional activities during the expo include first aid master classes and a hands-on workshop where rescue workers from the Ministry of Emergencies demonstrate vehicle body cutting techniques for emergency response scenarios.
All of these experiences come together under the Motovesna umbrella at the central exhibition complex Expocentre, located in Moscow at Krasnopresnenskaya Naberezhnaya 14. The show runs from April 8 to 10, 2025, inviting visitors to explore, learn, and celebrate the motorcycle world in a single, unified venue.
