Pierer Mobility AG

9.5 project
- Reveal of the “9.5 Project”: The much-anticipated 9.5 project, also known as the “Lucky Explorer,” is expected to be a major highlight.

New models and Returning models

While they have assured that the essence of “Motorcycle Art” will remain, there might be subtle shifts in design philosophy, incorporation of new technology, and expansion into new motorcycle segments or markets, influenced by Pierer Mobility AG’s presence in various motorcycle niches.
- Expanded Market Strategy: Part of the excitement will be learning about MV Agusta’s strategy for market expansion, especially with KTM’s distribution network. This could potentially mean a broader availability of MV Agusta motorcycles, enhanced customer service, and possibly the integration of more competitive pricing strategies to position their bikes attractively in the premium motorcycle segment.
Adventure Machine
- Collaborative Projects and Initiatives: While the primary focus for fans might be on motorcycles, MV Agusta may also unveil other collaborative projects or initiatives. These could range from technology-sharing, and co-branded merchandise, to racing sponsorships or entries, highlighting the new level of resources and market presence that the partnership intends to leverage.
- Engagement and Experiential Marketing: Finally, given that EICMA is a significant event for motorcycle enthusiasts, MV Agusta might offer immersive experiences. This could be through virtual reality experiences, interactive displays, or test rides, all aimed at ensuring that fans and potential customers can feel, understand, and immerse themselves in the future of MV Agusta.
