Sokolniki regularly hosts motorcycle exhibitions and various motorcycle shows. Such events turn into a holiday for fans of speed and fans of stunts.
The MotoSpring exhibition is timed to coincide with the opening of the motorcycle season in Moscow and combines business events, a festival and entertainment program and the largest customizer competition in Russia.
The exhibition will host the Moscow Custom & Tuning Show, where the country's best customizers will present their work. Visitors to Motovesna will be able to see the work of all the strongest customizers in Russia.
Is our video from last year's exhibition.
Customizing- (from the English custom - custom), in the broadest sense of the word, this is the remaking of a finished item, in our case a motorcycle, to the individual taste of the client. As a result, a faceless mass-produced factory machine turns into a unique device, sometimes a real work of art. The main task of a customizer is to “kill on the spot” with his creation. At the same time, it is not uncommon to use a motorcycle direct purpose(that is, for driving) becomes difficult, and sometimes even impossible.
Often, a “custom” should be perceived as a work of art that is carefully stored and transported from exhibition to exhibition. The first stage of customization is when a factory bike is decorated with airbrushing and stickers, and body kit elements are replaced with those purchased at showrooms. Such decoration is usually done independently. Real customization, with the manufacture of the frame, chassis and even modernization of the engine and suspensions, is carried out by professionals in custom workshops. They often make only one or two units a year, at a cost that is 5 to 10 times the face value of the original bike.
In its meaning it is close to customization tuning motorcycles, where the main focus is on increasing engine power and improving the ride quality of the device.

"Motozima-2016" is the third international exhibition of equipment for active recreation. November 18–20, 2016, Sokolniki Exhibition and Convention Center
“Motozima” is the brightest event of the motorcycle off-season. When the two-wheeled world falls into hibernation, a motorcycle exhibition becomes a good reason to revive it, to gather the entire motorcycle community, from businessmen to athletes and bikers, under one roof. Autumn is prime time. Sellers show the most new technology, equipment and spare parts, buyers - select new things for next summer. At the end of November there are last days before the start winter season, a time of increased snowmobile activity. Therefore, Motozima is used for pre-season demonstration of their capabilities by manufacturers and suppliers of off-road motorcycles and related products.
Event format involves meetings between importers, retailers, journalists, customizers, end users of goods and other participants in the motorcycle movement. In addition to free communication, thematic communication is also provided. A conference hall for 400 people and several smaller rooms are reserved for presentations and seminars on a wide variety of topics, from sports to business. Traditionally, Motozima hosts a tourism conference with reports on the most interesting motorcycle trips of the past season and the distribution of awards in several categories.
The exhibition organizing committee loves to look at creative processes, occurring in the motorcycle environment, and therefore supports artists, photographers and other craftsmen who make high-quality and unusual artistic products. The world of art occupies a separate pavilion, no less visited than the business hall. Part of the exhibition is dedicated to custom motorcycles. A regular guest of the Motozima exhibitions is prize-winner and winner of international shows Yuri Shif from Belarus.
At Motozima 2016 the work of the Moscow workshop Fine Custom Mechanics will be shown.
