❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is there dedicated motorcycle parking?

A: Yes! SMX and the Mall of Asia (MOA) complex provide extensive motorcycle parking. However, for a show this large, dedicated rider parking is often set up near the SMX entrance—arrive early as these spots fill up by noon!

Q: Can I bring my kids?

A: Absolutely. The event is family-friendly, and children below a certain height (usually 3 feet) often get in for free. It’s a great place to introduce the next generation to riding.

Q: Will there be test rides?

A: While the main show is indoors at SMX, manufacturers often set up

Test Ride Courses in the nearby open parking lots. Bring your LTO license and proper riding gear (shoes/long pants) if you plan to test a bike.

Q: Is it "Cash Only"?

A: Most major brand booths accept Credit Cards, GCash, and Maya. However, for smaller accessory vendors and food stalls, carrying Cash is highly recommended.

Q: What is the best day to go?

A: Friday is best for photographers and those who want to see the bikes without the massive weekend crowds. Sunday is usually the highest energy day with the most giveaways and the IPCS awards ceremony.

📝 Pro-Tips for Attendees

1. Wear Comfortable Shoes: You will be walking thousands of steps across multiple halls. Leave the heavy racing boots at home unless you're showing off your gear!
2. Bring a Backpack: You’ll likely end up with brochures, freebies, and new gear. A lightweight bag is essential.
3. Hydrate: The halls are air-conditioned, but the crowds and lights can make it warm. There are food and drink stalls located inside the hall.
