If you're familiar with the biggest motorcycling expos in the world, Intermot (International Motorcycle & Scooter Fair) will be all too familiar to you. If you're not, then know it's one of the most important motorcycle trade shows in Europe, which showcases every aspect of the two-wheeled industry. The event is for industry professionals and the public, and the annual show is usually held toward the beginning of December in Cologne, Germany. But not in 2026.
Intermot 2026 has been canceled, and the expo is now scheduled to take place on February 12-14, 2027. This will be the first time the event has ever taken place toward the start of the year, as this doesn't allow it to get ahead of new model releases for the year. That's not the only change coming for the international trade fair, which usually runs for four days but will only run for three in 2027, down from an all-time high of six days as recently as 2022.
In 2027, the event will use four halls instead of two, so although it's losing a day, it could theoretically be twice as big. And although the show won't get ahead of the new models following it, the new February schedule is backed by several OEMs, including Royal Enfield, Honda, and Yamaha.
