The world’s premier annual motorcycle industry gathering—the 24th China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition (CIMAMotor 2026)—will take place at the Chongqing International Expo Center from September 19 to 22, 2026. Running parallel to the expo, the 2026 China Motorcycle Chongqing Forum will kick off on September 19.

Launched in 2002, CIMAMotor is China’s national-level professional motorcycle expo. Over 23 years of development, it has evolved into a world-leading global motorcycle exhibition. It serves as a pivotal launchpad for new motorcycle models and cutting-edge technologies, a core platform for brand showcasing, product trading, technical exchange and authoritative industry insight release, steering new trends across the sector. Beyond business collaboration, it doubles as a lifestyle carnival and a yearly gathering for motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.

Rooted in Chongqing’s reputation as the “Motorcycle Capital of China” and its robust one-hour motorcycle industrial cluster, the 2026 CIMAMotor centers on innovation and industrial upgrading to fuel the thriving development of China’s unique motorcycle culture.

Over 170,000 Sqm Exhibition Space With More Than 1,000 Exhibitors

Showcasing The World’s Top Motorcycle Manufacturing Prowess

Under the theme Leading the Development of the Industry, Creating a Better Future Together, CIMAMotor 2026 boasts a total exhibition area exceeding 170,000 square meters, covering 8 indoor pavilions plus an 80,000 sqm outdoor activity zone. More than 1,000 exhibitors from China, the United States, Italy, Germany, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, Spain, South Korea, Pakistan and other nations will converge in Chongqing, hitting all-time highs in both exhibition scale and exhibitor numbers. Over 100 global motorcycle and electric two-wheeler brands will attend, with more than 3,000 vehicles set for static and dynamic displays.

Exhibitors at CIMAMotor 2026 represent the pinnacle of global motorcycle manufacturing capacity. The display portfolio covers the full industrial chain of gasoline and electric motorcycles, including complete gasoline motorcycles and electric vehicles, electronic fuel injection systems, shock absorbers, chains and sprockets, clutches, braking systems, tires, frames and body accessories, batteries, meters, electrical components, locks, lighting, motors, controllers, chargers, lubricants, aftermarket modification parts, top cases, riding apparel and helmets. A brand-new general machinery zone will also debut this year.

CIMAMotor 2026 will showcase comprehensive technological breakthroughs across the motorcycle industry, with products trending toward premium quality, intelligence and personalized customization, unlocking endless possibilities for global two-wheeled mobility.

Gasoline motorcycle powertrains feature highly diversified configurations, with elite track technologies rapidly being rolled out for mass-produced consumer models. Electric two-wheelers span all usage scenarios including daily commuting, off-roading, commercial delivery and high-speed electric motorcycles. Large AI models for smart driving, extended-range architectures, vehicle domain controllers and AI active safety systems redefine intelligent riding experiences. Automotive-grade chips and large AI models are also being widely integrated into two-wheeler development.

For core electric vehicle components, power battery technologies follow diverse technical routes tailored to global market demands. Independently developed full-stack algorithms for drive motors and intelligent controllers act as the core computing hub that determines vehicle performance and smart features, setting benchmarks for global technical standards.

Riding gear has evolved beyond basic protective equipment into smart wearable tech. Attendees can explore lightweight carbon fiber helmets with aerodynamic designs and licensed IP co-branded styles that balance safety and individuality. Riding apparel integrates active intelligent protection systems and prioritizes comfort and handling for long-distance trips, while intercom systems enable stable long-range wireless communication.

In addition, representative districts of Chongqing’s iconic national specialized industrial cluster—the one-hour motorcycle industrial belt—will feature dedicated booths at the expo, fully demonstrating their complete industrial ecosystems and regional competitive advantages.

Elevated Trade Functions: Building an Overseas Export Gateway for China’s Motorcycle Industry

CIMAMotor is far more than a showcase for products and technologies. It acts as a growth engine for domestic brand sales and a vital platform facilitating industrial globalization and cross-industry partnerships.

Driven by two flagship programs—the China Motorcycle Chongqing Forum and the Cross-Border E-Commerce Two-Wheeler Special Zone—the expo connects domestic manufacturers with global buyers, building robust bridges for international cooperation and creating a dedicated export channel for the sector.

With the theme Beyond Boundaries, the 2026 China Motorcycle Chongqing Forum will bring together leading OEMs, core upstream and downstream suppliers, researchers and industry experts. Panels will dive deep into critical topics including global motorcycle market trends and new opportunities for Chinese brands, innovative internationalization strategies for Chinese manufacturers, how technological innovation reshapes next-generation motorcycles, and emerging business opportunities driven by new consumers and usage scenarios.

For the domestic market, CIMAMotor has partnered with top domestic e-commerce platforms to build an integrated ecosystem combining offline exhibitions, online transactions and local lifestyle services. The event will drive a surge in online sales for participating brands, creating a closed loop where exhibitions boost trade and trade fuels retail growth.

Meanwhile, the expo will host GLOBAL MOTORCYCLE SUPPLY CHAIN & TRADE MATCHMAKING. We will selectively invite hundreds of professional purchasers from major export destinations and high-potential markets including Mexico, Argentina, the Philippines, Colombia, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Brazil, the United States, Malaysia, France, Poland, South Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Thailand, Singapore, India, Vietnam and Russia to hold one-on-one matching sessions with Chinese manufacturers and secure on-site purchase intentions.

Buyers from over 20 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa have already registered, with procurement demands covering full categories including complete motorcycles, spare parts, riding gear and intelligent electric mobility solutions. More international buyers continue to sign up, with updated purchasing requirements to be released in due course.

From September 19 to 22, we sincerely invite all industry practitioners and motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world to gather at the Chongqing International Expo Center. Join us at this landmark industry event to chart a new chapter for the global two-wheeler industry!
