The 15th Bananalama, scheduled to take place from July 9 to 12 in Corupá, Santa Catarina, will have the support of two major companies in Brazil’s off-road segment. MXF Motors will be the event’s title sponsor, while Rinaldi strengthens its presence as one of the main sponsors of the traditional gathering of trail riders, which returns to the calendar after four years.
Considered the world’s largest gathering of trail riders, Bananalama is expected to bring together thousands of motorcyclists, teams, exhibitors and visitors for a program combining trail riding, product displays, extreme attractions and free concerts.
At Bananalama 2026, MXF bets on activations and raffle of seven motorcycles
As title sponsor, MXF Motors will set up an exclusive structure to showcase its motorcycle line and conduct activities for the public throughout the four-day event.
The main highlight will be a raffle of seven brand-new motorcycles of the 270 FI, 250 RXI and MXF Pro Racing 90 models, as well as product demonstrations, interactive activations and areas dedicated to the relationship with customers and partners.
According to Renato Prudente, CEO of MXF Motors, the company’s participation reinforces the manufacturer’s identity within the off-road world.
“Being at Bananalama, the world’s largest gathering of trail riders, reinforces who we are and our close relationship with those who experience off-road. It is an opportunity to celebrate this passion, showcase new products and further strengthen the community that believes in MXF”.
The participation is part of the company’s broader strategy to expand its presence in the sport. In 2026, the brand also became the title sponsor of Trilhão dos Metralhas in Rio Grande do Sul and an official sponsor of the Brazilian Motocross Championship, while continuing to support the Brazilian Enduro FIM Championship through the MXF Enduro Team.
Rinaldi highlights tire line for trail riding
Rinaldi will use Bananalama to showcase its line of tires for off-road and on/off-road use. Featured models will include the MS49, RS47 and HE40, as well as the RQ45, designed for ATVs.
During the event, the so-called “Rinaldi Squad,” consisting of five trail and Enduro riders, will use the manufacturer’s MS49 tires and 4 mm heavy-duty inner tubes.
The brand will also offer giveaways and raffles, a photo area, interaction with riders and technical demonstrations throughout the four-day event.
The official trail ride leaders will be two major names in Brazilian motorcycling: multi-time Motocross champion Maiara Basso, a brand ambassador, and ten-time Brazilian Enduro champion Rômulo Bottrel, Rinaldi’s Technical Consultant.
According to Jana Brun Nalin, the company’s Head of Marketing, the sponsorship reinforces the manufacturer’s long-standing connection with the segment.
“Sponsoring Bananalama represents a unique opportunity to build an even closer relationship with the off-road community, an audience that is part of Rinaldi’s history.”
Bananalama’s historic return
Following its last edition in 2022, Bananalama returns in 2026, maintaining its status as one of the largest off-road gatherings in the world.
Over the course of its previous 14 editions, more than 26,000 trail riders have participated in the event. At the most recent edition, approximately 60,000 people visited Corupá, with more than 5,000 confirmed registrations for the trail rides.
This year, in addition to routes for motorcycles, ATVs and UTVs, the program includes an extreme-stunt arena, an exhibitors’ fair, an amusement park and free musical performances, consolidating the event as one of the leading showcases for Brazil’s off-road motorcycle market.
