On June 28-29, 2025, the fifth and sixth rounds of the Italian Motorcycle Rally Championship were successfully held in Bussi sul Tirino, Abruzzo.
Shineray's SWM Motorcycles enjoyed a highlight moment in this round of the championship with its outstanding RS500 off-road model. San Marino's legendary rider, Alex Zanotti, made a strong comeback, piloting the Shineray motorcycle SWM RS500 to clinch victory in the E600 class, demonstrating the exceptional competitive performance and reliability of SWM's off-road machines.
As a two-time world champion, Zanotti's return to the track after an eight-year hiatus was nothing short of a legendary restart. This victory is not only a personal triumph for Zanotti but also the ultimate testament to the superior performance of the Shineray 250-class SWM RS500. The RS 500 proved stable and powerful throughout the nearly 400-kilometer high-intensity rally, completing the distance without any mechanical issues, perfectly embodying SWM's relentless pursuit of professional off-road excellence.
