Trial Classics Classic Clubman Trial Aywaille: it’s going to be worth it!

Within the international community of classic trial motorcycle enthusiasts, the Easter weekend is synonymous with Belgium and the Amblève Valley. The Classic Clubman Trial of Aywaille has become a fixture on the calendar. During the Easter weekend of April 4 and 5, the 31st edition of the event, organised by DG Sport since 2021, will take place once again.

This long-standing tradition offers many advantages and attracts an impressive field of more than 200 motorcycles to the Recreation Centre of Remouchamps, the undisputed headquarters of the event. The entry list shows a balanced mix of Belgian and international riders, ensuring a truly international atmosphere. French, British and Dutch riders will be joined by competitors from Poland, Spain, Denmark and many other countries, all sharing the same passion: classic trial riding in an event with a strong tradition.

When people think of classic trial, they think of motorcycles that shaped the discipline between the 1940s and the 1980s. For this reason, the competition features four categories: Pre-1965, Pre-1978, Post-1978 Twin Shock and Post-1978 Mono Shock. Depending on their experience and skill level, riders are entered in the Randonneur (beginners), National or Expert classes.

Starting from the Recreation Centre of Remouchamps — where riders pass over the podium four times each day — competitors set off on three loops of 15 kilometres, ridden daily. Each loop includes six sections with varying degrees of difficulty. Between the sections, the riders travel along carefully selected trails, ensuring maximum riding enjoyment while offering the chance to discover — or rediscover — the beautiful Amblève Valley.

It is also worth noting that several sections are easily accessible to spectators, which always adds to the lively atmosphere.

As tradition dictates, the course for the Classic Clubman Trial of Aywaille is designed by an expert: Fred Mohring, a perfect example of a passion passed on from father to son.

In short, while the Easter weekend in the region of Aywaille may be filled with the sound of revving engines, it is also a warm, friendly and genuinely sporting event. That is precisely the charm of this competition — an experience best enjoyed on site, among the riders themselves.
