New Energy, Major Returns, and Rising Brands Signal a Powerful Start to 2026
IRVINE, Calif., July 23, 2025 — AIMExpo 2026, taking place January 7–9 in Anaheim, California, has already surpassed 250 exhibiting companies – the fastest pace in show history – as momentum continues to build around North America’s premier powersports trade event.
Some of the biggest names in the industry are back on the AIMExpo floor for 2026 – Alpinestars, ASV Inventions, AGV Helmets, Givi USA (celebrating 30 years in the U.S.), as well as European braking powerhouses Brembo North America, and Galfer USA. Their participation sends a clear message: AIMExpo is where the industry comes together to build relationships, spark ideas, and drive the future of powersports.
Rising OEM brands Denago Powersports, E Ride Pro, Kandi America, Kayo USA, Rawrr, and Surron will step into the spotlight with significant footprints at the show – using the event to engage with dealers, expand brand visibility, and reinforce their place in the powersports landscape.
The Digital & Tech Sector is now sold out, as more exhibitors tap into the demand for smart business tools, software, data services, and connected solutions. And the momentum isn’t limited to traditional players: eBay Motors and Walmart will be on the show floor – major retail names that recognize AIMExpo’s value as a hub for commerce, visibility, and industry alignment.
“It’s not just that the floor is growing – it’s who’s on it,” said Cinnamon Kernes, MIC Vice President of Market Expansion. “From returning OEMs and long-time exhibiting partners to newer brands, tech providers, and national retailers, AIMExpo is bringing all corners of the industry together in one space. It’s that kind of reach that strengthens the entire powersports ecosystem.”
For dealers, it all adds up to one thing: a chance to stay ahead of a quickly accelerating curve, with access to new product lines, evolving business strategies, and direct connections with the companies shaping the future.
“AIMExpo is where business gets done – and where it begins,” said Andre Albert, MIC Director of Marketing and Events. “In a time of change, the companies attending this show are choosing to lead. Our OEMs, aftermarket brands, dealers, and service providers are all in, and we’re seeing more collaboration, innovation, and energy than ever before. As the business landscape changes, more and more of the industry recognizes the opportunity AIMExpo brings to stay ahead. Anaheim is going to be a big one!”
