Honda’s WN7 has picked up a Gold at the iF Design Award 2026, and whether you care about trophies or not, it says something about how this bike’s landing. Let’s be honest, most design awards don’t move the needle for riders. But this one’s worth a second look, mainly because Honda didn’t win by going weird.

Electric just took a major win in the off-road world. Stark Future has secured the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro Manufacturers World Championship, marking the first time an electric motorcycle brand has claimed the title in the indoor enduro series.

Lightfighter's building another track menace — lining up on the MotoAmerica Super Hooligan grid with their naked V3-RH, aiming to prove an electric platform can trade punches with petrol race bikes on equal terms.

As 2026 approaches, the international calendar is stacked with exhibitions that actually matter for bikers, buyers, and those who follow electric motorcycles. These are the events where OEMs drop serious tech, reveal the next wave of bikes, and give a glimpse of where the e-moto world is heading. Not all exhibitions are created equal — here’s where you should actually show up.

If you thought electric off-road bikes were still on the outside looking in, Stark Future just gave you two hard reasons to rethink that. In the past 2 1/2 weeks, the Barcelona-based outfit pushed its VARG platform into territory most internal-combustion bikes would choke on — literally — and opened a new chapter in hard enduro competition by earning entry into the legendary Red Bull Erzbergrodeo for 2026.

This year’s Motorcycle Live at the Birmingham NEC felt bigger, louder, and far more dialled-in than previous rounds. As usual, the halls were packed with full line-ups, prototype teasers, and “coming soon” promises from the big-name manufacturers — but 2025’s show had a sharper edge.

Following our first round of EICMA coverage, we’re back with a second helping of the weird, the wild, and the genuinely interesting. Sure, the big names showed up in Milan — and we’ll get to their headline stuff in time — but this round is all about the fresh faces, the hidden gems, and the under-the-radar machines that might just hit the streets in 2026. PXiD: Broad Line-up With a Familiar Look PXiD P8 PXiD turned up at EICMA with a sizeable spread of EEC-approved motorcycl

EICMA 2025 is still buzzing, and Milan once again feels like the centre of the motorcycle universe. The world’s biggest bike show has thrown open its halls to a full spectrum of metal and volts—manufacturers, suppliers, tinkerers, and dreamers all showing off what’s next. Here’s a quick rundown of the most interesting bikes, tech, and ideas we spotted on the floor this year.

The MotoE World Championship is going dark. After seven seasons on the calendar, FIM and Dorna have confirmed that the all-electric racing series will go on indefinite hiatus once the 2025 season wraps. The official line? MotoE never gained enough traction with fans, and the high-performance electric bike market hasn’t delivered the growth the organizers were banking on.
