What Happened
MV Agusta has announced its first official participation in Wheels and Waves, the iconic motorcycle festival in Biarritz, France. The brand will present its full 2026 lineup, offer demo ride sessions, and display historic motorcycles from its heritage.

“Wheels and Waves represents far more than a motorcycle event: it is a place where culture, creativity and passion come together in an authentic way. For MV Agusta, this debut holds a special meaning, as it allows us to tell the full story of the brand within a single context: the technological innovation of the 2026 lineup, alongside the historical and identity value of our classic motorcycles.”
Bassoli also noted that he has attended Wheels and Waves since its first edition in 2012 and contributed to creating the Vintage Rally. He will personally ride the MV Agusta 125 Regolarità in that race. The festival runs from 10 to 14 June 2026 and gathers motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world.
