Our test bench will be available for free, riders can readjust and optimize engine settings or simply measure their bike’s performance.
Stunt and wheelie fans can show off their skills. There will be a competition for the longest and the fastest wheelie.

SALBRIS RACE TRACK
The gates of the International Karting Track Salbris will open on Friday 20 at 7pm so everyone can settle into the pits (with power supply) and set up camp on the huge campground.
Then it’s time to get ready, pilots can use the test track and burnout zone with direct access to the pit lane.
2 tracks will be open: the 150 meter drag strip for drag racers and the 600 meter circuit track that can be used by all riders.
Just like at every ScooterPower event, Maxiscoot will bring their state-of-the-art time measurement system to make sure that reaction / elapsed time and top speed are measured as precisely as possible. Two huge screens will display the results in real time.
