Maxi Enduro Adventure Tour

An enduro rally in the heart of the Piacenza valleys

The Maxi Enduro Adventure Tour is a non-competitive motorcycle rally dedicated to enduro and adventure motorcycle touring, held in Gropparello, in the province of Piacenza, in the Emilia-Romagna region. The operational base is the charming Località La Valle, the starting and ending point for the two days of riding. Organized by the sports association Synergy A.S.D., the event is for those who love exploring the territory on an enduro motorcycle, away from asphalt and competitive racing.

Two days, constantly renewed routes

The format includes a weekend divided into two stages: participants who join for both days follow a "daisy chain" route, while those who choose only one day tackle a loop. Each stage covers between 130 and 200 kilometers, primarily on secondary dirt roads, with an elevation gain that can reach 1,200 meters. The routes, modified with each edition to offer smoother paths, are entirely navigated with GPX track, a distinctive feature of this rally.

Among castles and ancient valleys

The itinerary winds along the network of dirt roads in Val d'Arda, Val Nure, and the famous Val Trebbia, also touching minor valleys like Val Chiavenna, Val Chero, Val Vezzeno, and Val Riglio. It's a territory rich in history and culture, dotted with castles that once belonged to the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, and immersed in the so-called Piacenza food valley with its gastronomic excellences. Two difficulty levels allow everyone to find their pace: the Maxienduro track, of medium difficulty, and the easier Adventuring track, both at a free pace.

Motorcycles admitted and spirit of the event

Single-cylinder enduro bikes, vintage or new-generation maxi enduros are welcome, provided they are in excellent condition and road-legal. Knobby tires and prior off-road experience are recommended, especially in case of rain. For safety reasons, carrying passengers is prohibited. More than a race, the Maxi Enduro Adventure Tour is an opportunity for enthusiasts to share their passion, involving riding, refreshments along the route, and convivial moments like the end-of-stage barbecue.

An event for adventure lovers

Included in the calendar of major Italian enduro rallies, the event in the Municipality of Gropparello combines the passion for two wheels with the slow discovery of an authentic area of the Piacenza Apennines. For those seeking a weekend in the open air, amidst scenic dirt roads and Emilian hospitality, it is now a well-established event in the motorcycle spring season.
