Spanish motorcycle maker Macbor has big plans

Barcelona-based motorcycle maker Macbor is bringing three new models to its range for 2026, while also announcing plans for two next-gen Eight Mile models.

If you haven’t heard of the Spanish company before, which is probably no great surprise as Macbor only started expanding outside of Spain in late 2020, then here’s a quick rundown of what the brand has been up to. 

Macbor established itself in the Spanish market in 2017, before expanding to Portugal in 2020. In 2025, Macbor revealed another step in its international expansion plans, as it joined the French market, where it already has more than 40 dealerships in just six months. 

Currently, there are six models in the brand’s range, although that will grow to nine in 2026 after it revealed big plans at EICMA.

Said plans include the arrival of a brand-new Rockster 710, which will be the brand’s highest-capacity motorcycle, and the fourth model in the Rockster range, following the 410, Flat 125 Evo and 125 Evo. 

The Rockster 710 will form part of the brand’s ever-growing cruiser range, and is set to land during the second quarter of 2026. It gets a 693cc, liquid- cooled twin-cylinder engine that produces a claimed 72.4bhp at 8,750rpm and 49.4 Ib-ft of torque at 6,250rpm. It also features a six-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, and final belt drive setup. 

Additionally, the Rockster 710 features ABS and traction control (TCS), heated seat and grips, and a quickshifter as standard. Digitally, it receives a five-inch circular TFT dashboard with connectivity and mirroring, and full LED lighting. Marzocchi handles suspension duties up front with a 37mm inverted fork, while a side-mounted hydraulic rear shock is positioned at the rear with preload adjustment.

Next up is the new Shifter 125 Evo, which is set to arrive as an entry-level naked with a 124.8cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivers 14.7bhp at 9,500rpm and 8.4 Ib-ft of torque at 7,000rpm.

It also benefits from a comprehensive safety suite, including ABS and traction control (TCS). The suspension comprises a 37mm inverted hydraulic fork, and a rear monoshock that’s adjustable for preload.

The third and final new model is the Montana XR3, which is going to land as the company’s adventure bridge between the XR5 510 and XR1 125 Evo. It is powered by a 249.2cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 25.4bhp at 9,000rpm and 15.4 Ib-ft of peak torque. The Montana XR3 receives a 37mm inverted front fork that’s adjustable for rebound, and a rear hydraulic monoshock with adjustable compression, rebound, and preload. 

Then come the new concept and prototype models from the brand’s Eight Mile range. The Eight Mile 300 is the brand’s all-new Scrambler concept which features ABS and traction control (TCS), full LED lighting, and a colour LCD screen. 

It also houses a 41mm KYB inverted front fork that’s paired with a rear monoshock with linkage and compression adjustment. The package is completed by dual 298mm Nissin front discs and a 240mm rear disc.

Finally, the Eight Mile 125 Evo Scrambler is the new Macbor prototype which is now reaching its third generation, according to the Spanish manufacturer. 

Macbor claims the Eight Mile 125 EVO “reinterprets the authentic scrambler spirit from a modern, technological perspective. True to the philosophy of ‘Motorcycles with soul from Barcelona’, this prototype stands out for its unique personality and reflects Macbor’s constant evolution”.

The new Eight Mile 125 Evo Prototype benefits from an updated chassis, including a 38mm inverted hydraulic fork, and a linkage-type monoshock at the rear, which is adjustable for compression. It also gets a colour LCD dashboard, along with full LED lighting, and a fuel capacity of 14.5 litres.
