Absolute record: More than 80,000 people enjoyed Salón Moto

30 May 2023

The second edition of the event, that brings together the entire motorcycle industry, became a resounding success with a great summoning.

There were 4 days of exhibition where more than 200 national and international brands of motorcycles, helmets, clothing, accessories and motorcycle parts, were present at La Rural. It became the unmissable plan for the long weekend in the city.

Organized by the Chamber of Motorcycle Manufacturers (CAFAM) and Messe Frankfurt Argentina, the most important event in the sector ended today, far exceeding expectations and visitor’s attendance compared to its last edition in 2018.

Motorcycles of different sizes, exclusive, classic, electric, all gathered in the same Event so that visitors can enjoy them. The companies took advantage of the exhibition to make important and long-awaited launches. In addition, the latest innovations and technology on the market and global trends were presented.

On the main track and for three days, there was the spectacular show “Super Enduro”. With full grandstands, music and lights, 12 pilots performed incredible maneuvers and skills in a pure adrenaline circuit.

In the open auditorium, there were conferences by brands and also by well-known motorcycling figures and references. Moto GP, Mujeres en Moto, travel stories and road safety, were some of the topics addressed.

“It has been a great satisfaction to have been able to carry out this event of the size and quality that we have proposed. Despite finding ourselves in a difficult economic context, we have been able to achieve this great goal of carrying out this exhibition again after four years. The exhibitors are very pleased; the audience has accompanied us despite the weather and it being a long weekend. We closed a great Event and we wait for you in our next edition to be held on October, 2024”, said Fernando Gorbarán, President and CEO of Messe Frankfurt Argentina.

“We are very happy with the result of this exhibition. It was a great opportunity to show the value of our industry. To make our work, history, and national production visible; as well as all the growth potential we have. We appreciate the support we had from Argentina’s Minister of Economy, Secretary of Industry and Productive Development and Secretary of Commerce and we hope to continue working together to generate agreements that underpin the sustainable growth of the sector," said Lino Stefanuto, President of CAFAM.
