About the Manx Classic Trial

The Manx Classic Weekend Trial regularly attracts a field of up to 200 riders from as far afield as South Africa, USA, Canada, Italy, France and Spain, not to mention the UK and Ireland.

The first 50 places are reserved for twinshock machines, but the bulk of the entry are genuine classics with special awards for rigid forks and pre-unit construction.

The event includes an average of 40 sections each day (covering a similar mileage) at many new and rarely used trials venues around the Island, linked by tracks, open moorland, forests, lanes and main roads.

The event first took place in 1996 and has grown into one of the largest and most popular observed classic motorcycle trials in the British Isles.
