SnowQuake: The coldest motorcycle race in the world

SnowQuake, a unique rally conceived by Deus Ex Machina and Sideburn Magazine, in collaboration with Pirelli will return for its SnowQuake III on Wednesday 17th January, 2018 at the Ice Rosa Ring in Riva Valdobbia near Milan, Italy.

The snow track has been improved with a complex variety of radiuses of curvature and countless unpredictable situations of riding on ice.

It has been called "the most technical circuit in the Alps".

SnowQuake organizers are taking things up a level, quite literally, trading dirt for snow and ice, ovals for corners and some serious elevation changes against the stunning backdrop of the snow-capped Alps.

Anyone can enter. So shake off those post-Christmas blues by riding in one of the 3 race classes:

• Inappropriate road bike
• Vintage, and
• SnowPro

All set within the winter wonderland of the Ice Rosa Ring. Race entry is €65 and includes a rider +1 entry to the Deus Cafe After-Party in Milan. Riders will also need race day insurance available on the day at signing on. Want to race? Signup for SnowQuake here.

Friends and family are welcome to brave the cold and cheer on the riders, but it will be bitter so both riders and supporters will need to dust off their faux fur coats and wooly hats.
