International Motom Rally in Switzerland: the Motom Club Zurich returns on 8–9 August

More than 60 Motoms are expected at the Zurich Club’s International Motom Rally, featuring collectors from Italy, Switzerland, and Germany, two road tours, a raffle with a Motom Junior as the prize, and a full weekend as part of the Gasoline Festival.

The International Motom Rally returns on August 8 and 9, 2026, in Affeltrangen, Switzerland. Organized by the Motom Club Zurich, the event attracts enthusiasts from Italy, Switzerland, and Germany every year

On August 8 and 9, 2026, the Motom Club Zurich will host the traditional International Motom Rally in Affeltrangen (Switzerland), one of the most important events dedicated to the brand and the premier Motom event held outside of Italy.

Every year, the gathering attracts enthusiasts from Switzerland, Italy, and Germany, serving as a meeting place for collectors, restorers, and fans of the Milan-based brand.

Once again this year, more than 60 Motom motorcycles are expected to be on display, ranging from the best-known models to the rarest examples and special editions, many of which are rarely seen at other events.

Alongside the mopeds, there will also be a section dedicated to Motom’s agricultural division, featuring rotary tillers, chainsaws, and other machines that showcase the extraordinary variety of Motom’s product line.

Motorcycle Tours

On both days, the Zurich Motorcycle Club will organize two scenic rides lasting about an hour on the roads of the Canton of Thurgau.

Departures are tentatively scheduled for around 11:00 a.m., before lunch, though the time may be adjusted depending on weather conditions.

A chance to see dozens of motorcycles in action and ride a few kilometers alongside the other participants.

A Motom Junior is up for grabs

Among the highlights of the 2026 edition will be the festival raffle, with a beautiful Motom Junior as the grand prize.

Tickets will be available for purchase directly at the event for 10 euros or 10 Swiss francs. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Race2win association.

One more reason to participate… maybe you’ll head home with a Motom while doing some good!
