NORDKAPP CLASSIC RAID IV
The Adventure of a Lifetime, riding a Vespa to the Arctic Circle.
Few things in the world have the power to captivate the imagination of adventure lovers like Overland Raids undertaken with limited power vehicles, spanning an entire continent, especially when the journey’s destination is the Far North and the Arctic Circle.
If we had created the same event for modern, powerful, and reliable vehicles, we would have achieved only a simple, beautiful, but “ordinary” journey. However, with the Nordkapp Classic Raid, we aimed to create something much, much more Powerful, and thanks to its DNA, the Nordkapp Classic Raid is something that exceeds the sum of the kilometers traveled, the countries crossed, and the countless stories collected along the way by our Pilots.
It’s a Story of Redemption, of Courage, and of people of all ages and social backgrounds, united here by a common vision that is infinitely stronger than all the differences that in normal life would probably separate them.
It’s an Extraordinary Event that has the power to change people’s lives, an event awarded, in all the concluded Editions, with a 100% satisfaction rating from the Pilots. Yes, you read that right, One Hundred Percent.
The Nordkapp Classic Raid is the Celebration of the Great Adventure, tailored for the first time to an Iconic and Legendary vehicle like the Vespa, and the narration of a Story that never ceases to inspire, that of the Far North, a timeless symbol and perfect expression of a quest for Freedom that every adventure lover has always carried within.
You can continue to settle, or experience something that will stay with you forever.
The choice is yours.
The Greatest Continental Adventure Raid on Vespa for free spirits of all ages.
With 100% satisfaction expressed by participating pilots in all previous editions, what awaits you in 2026 is an unforgettable and magnificently field-tested event.
Teenagers disguised as 40-year-olds, indefatigable senior adventurers, and very young people who want to experience the Adventure of Adventures before becoming adults, or vice versa, the Nordkapp Classic Raid IV is an extraordinary experience for everyone and the best way to remember that in life it’s never too late, or too early, to do something great and return to being happy, free, and carefree.
Run to the garage and bring back to life that extraordinary vehicle, guardian of freedom and your youthful dreams, which once opened the roads of the world for you, making you feel as omnipotent as a T-Rex.
The time of Vespas conquering the world is back, and it’s never been so much fun.
vespa world, and nothing more.
The idea of creating a continental-scale event exclusively dedicated to the Vespa, on one of the most coveted routes in the world and certainly in Europe, came to us thinking about what this legendary vehicle represents. Think about it, the Vespa perfectly embodies the unpredictability of life, the spontaneity of things, brings people together, and above all, is capable of conveying the timeless ideal of Freedom and Escape. In summary, it seems more designed for Adventure than for gatherings.
The Nordkapp Classic Raid is our Tribute to this Unique and Unmistakable Italian Icon, and you can participate in the Raid only riding any Vespa model.
On June 13, 2026, we will embark on the most incredible Vespa Adventure ever, departing for the Arctic Circle.
