For three days, the Ubaye Valley will become a meeting point for motorcyclists, companies and enthusiasts, with a format that combines the exhibition area with a wide range of experiences to enjoy directly on two wheels. Among them, several free roadbooks will offer the opportunity to explore the roads and Alpine passes surrounding Barcelonnette, in an ideal setting for those who love discovering new destinations by motorcycle.
For the 2026 edition, GIVI is doubling the size of its exhibition space, with a seven-person team ready to welcome visitors and a selection of the season’s main new products dedicated to touring and adventure riding.
One of the most anticipated moments of the weekend will be the unveiling of a new GIVI product on Friday, 4 September at 10:00 am, with the participation of ambassador Ben Blake.
At the stand, visitors will also be able to see several motorcycles equipped for different approaches to travel: from the Kawasaki KLE 500 with GRT720 Canyon to the Honda Transalp with Trekker Lite, the Voge 900 with Outback and the Suzuki DR-Z400 with GRT721B Canyon. The Stealth system will also be on display, together with other new GIVI products for the season.
The GIVI Girl Trip, now a well-established feature of the festival, will also return. On Friday, ambassador Nat guide VTM will lead a group of around 20 female riders on a route through the Ubaye Valley, heading towards a special destination for lunch.
A hands-on way to take the products beyond the stand and reconnect with what GIVI and the Alpes Aventure Motofestival have in common: experiencing the journey directly on the road, with a focus on experience, safety, quality and functionality.
