Aspar Motor Experience: A New Commitment to Motorcycle Road Safety

Jorge Martínez 'Aspar' has always maintained that he wants to give back to the world of motorcycling everything it has given him. The four-time world champion has achieved this through his team's successes, nurturing young talents, and creating his own circuit, all while keeping road safety at the forefront.

It is a reality that motorcycle accidents remain high, but projects can always be undertaken to try to reduce them. The Aspar Air, an airbag vest launched by 'Aspar', has likely reduced many injuries, but now he wants to go a step further. Both he and his team have focused on motorcycle technique, as training is essential to avoid dangerous situations.

This is how Aspar Motor Experience was born. This experiential project aims to become a leading road safety reference in Spain, teaching drivers of all levels to ride on various surfaces: from those who have never ridden a motorcycle to experienced users looking to refresh their skills.

To achieve this, the Aspar Motor Experience team consists of professionals with over fifteen years of experience in training motorcycle riders on asphalt and dirt. In fact, these professionals have not only taught over 2,000 new drivers in recent years but also train world-class professional motorcyclists.

The mission of this project is to start as a training reference point in the Valencian Community and gradually expand across the national geography. The focus is on two types of training: for regular drivers to improve all kinds of techniques and for new drivers who only need to meet one requirement to attend these courses: knowing how to ride a bicycle.

At Aspar Motor Experience, everything is provided for the users: motorcycle, helmet, gear... all that is needed is the desire to learn. How many times have we seen car drivers who, due to their license type, can buy a motorcycle but have never ridden one? Or drivers who have ridden a motorcycle but haven't for many years? With this type of training, attendees can improve their technique, reflexes, confidence, and thus their own safety.

These courses are conducted in a unique environment like the Aspar Circuit, where they can be held on asphalt or dirt tracks. Additionally, if attendees have their own motorcycle and equipment, they can also opt for group rides.

The Aspar Motor Experience project is already underway and will continue to grow, but its mere inception is very positive news. All projects focused on road safety and training are always welcome. While we may not be able to prevent the reckless drivers we encounter on our roads who endanger their lives and others with speed or alcohol, we can avoid many unforeseen events and dangerous situations by improving our technique and skills.
