Report on FENDERIST Vol.09 – Part1 – FENDERIST

This year’s FENDERIST was held at the end of March due to the impact of the Asia Games.
Previously, the event was held only in Hall 3 of Port Messe Nagoya, but this year Hall 2 was added as well, making it the largest venue space in the event’s history.

Each area remained true to the usual layout: the Showcase area features vehicles displayed on carpeted spaces, the Freestyle Area allows exhibitors to style and present their own vehicles creatively, and the Bike Area brought together approximately 100 bikes, mainly mini bikes.

Additionally, in the newly added Hall 2, brand-new areas for SUVs and Vans were introduced for the first time.
Now, let’s take a look at the event on the day.
