Reading time: 7 minutes ## OFF ROAD ACADEMY – Piacenza: An Official Honda Europe Off-Road School OFF ROAD ACADEMY – Piacenza is the official Honda Europe off-road riding school. Within the facility, the workshop plays a central role: it handles regular servicing for the school's motorcycles, as well as maintenance and repair work for customers who own their own bikes. For OFF ROAD ACADEMY, the workshop had to reflect the same level of quality, organisation and attention to detail that Honda brings to motorcycle manufacturing. This requirement led to the project with KIRO: creating a professional, functional environment consistent with the Academy's identity, where technicians could work with precision, a clear method and the utmost attention to detail.   ## The Challenge: Bringing Honda Quality into the Workshop The starting point was clear: creating a workshop capable of maintaining the quality and excellence associated with Honda, even during everyday servicing operations. As Marcello Romano, Head of OFF ROAD ACADEMY, explains, the goal was to create a space where technicians could work according to the same Japanese philosophy and attention to detail that distinguish the Honda brand. This meant viewing the workshop not simply as an operational area, but as an extension of the Academy's identity. Every service operation on the school's motorcycles, every inspection, maintenance task and intervention on customers' bikes had to take place in an organised, well-equipped, clean environment designed to support everyday work. For this reason, the choice of technical furniture could not be left to chance. OFF ROAD ACADEMY needed a partner capable of combining build quality, durability, functionality and a genuine understanding of how the space would be used. ![moto](https://blog.kiroconcept.com/hs-fs/hubfs/moto.png?width=641&height=427&name=moto.png) ### Not Just Equipment, but a Working Method The project was not simply about purchasing workshop furniture. It was about creating a working method. In a workshop like OFF ROAD ACADEMY's, every element must serve a specific purpose: where motorcycles are positioned, where removed or damaged parts are placed, where new replacement components are prepared, how tools are stored and how order and cleanliness are maintained in a demanding technical environment. This is where the KIRO method comes into play: designing the workshop around the real needs of the people who use it every day. To explore this approach, read the article on [custom workshop equipment](https://blog.kiroconcept.com/en/custom-workshop-equipment-how-kiro-designs-workstations-that-follow-your-working-method?hsLang=en), which explains how KIRO creates workstations tailored to each customer's way of working.   ## A 1,000 m² Workshop Designed for Motorcycles and Quads The OFF ROAD ACADEMY workshop covers approximately 1,000 square metres, providing a spacious environment designed to meet different yet complementary operational needs. The project included four dedicated motorcycle workstations, used for both the Academy's bikes and customers' motorcycles. In addition, two workstations were allocated to Polaris quads, as OFF ROAD ACADEMY is also an authorised Polaris dealer and service centre. These different requirements called for careful design, with dedicated operational areas capable of accommodating different vehicles and workflows. One of the central features of the project is the **horseshoe-shaped arrangement of the workbenches** around the workstations. This configuration provides generous, well-distributed work surfaces for managing removed or damaged parts, replacement components, new spare parts and the tools required during maintenance. The [workshop workbench](https://www.kiroconcept.com/en/categoria-prodotto/professional-motorcycle-workshop-furniture/shop-design-and-product-portfolio/serie-90-en/benches/) therefore becomes more than just a work surface. It becomes an operational tool, integrated with large, spacious drawer units designed to store tool sets, wrenches and equipment while keeping everything organised. Order and cleanliness are integral to the project. When every tool has its place, technicians can work more effectively, quickly find what they need and reduce unnecessary movements. This is precisely why OFF ROAD ACADEMY describes its workshop as a true **"spa for motorcycles"**: a place where vehicles are welcomed, cared for and treated with attention. ![quad](https://blog.kiroconcept.com/hs-fs/hubfs/quad.png?width=633&height=422&name=quad.png) ### Four Motorcycle Workstations and Two Quad Workstations The four motorcycle workstations make it possible to organise maintenance on the Academy's fleet and customers' bikes, managing several operations simultaneously. The two Polaris quad workstations respond to a specific requirement: servicing vehicles with different dimensions, footprints and operational characteristics compared to motorcycles. Each workstation is therefore designed around the vehicle, the technician and the type of work performed, with the aim of creating an environment that is visually appealing and, above all, functional. To explore the relationship between workstations, workbenches and everyday operations, read the article on [workbenches and motorcycle lifts](https://blog.kiroconcept.com/en/banco-da-lavoro-e-ponte-sollevatore-progettare-postazioni-di-lavoro-che-migliorano-il-lavoro?hsLang=en).   ## A Workshop Designed for the Off-Road World The off-road world comes with specific requirements. Motorcycles are subjected to demanding conditions, often return to the workshop after challenging rides and require careful inspections, regular maintenance and quick interventions. In this context, the workshop must be durable, easy to clean, organised and always ready for use. It cannot be a fragile or improvised environment. It must support continuous activity, dirty vehicles, components requiring attention, tools that need to remain under control and workflows that change according to daily requirements. KIRO translated these needs into practical design principles: durability, accessibility, organisation and a coherent layout.   ### Functionality Comes First In the OFF ROAD ACADEMY – Piacenza project, functionality is the starting point. Aesthetics matter, but they are the result of precise planning. An organised workshop, with coordinated furniture, well-distributed surfaces and neatly arranged tools, immediately communicates professionalism. For KIRO, design is not decoration. It is the result of a functional approach. When every module has a purpose, every surface is positioned correctly and the space is designed around real working activities, the workshop naturally becomes cleaner, more technical and more recognisable. This is the value of KIRO's Made in Italy approach: combining build quality, attention to detail and design expertise.   ## Why OFF ROAD ACADEMY Chose KIRO Before choosing KIRO, OFF ROAD ACADEMY had the opportunity to visit the company's headquarters and personally test its tools, furniture and technical solutions. This experience was decisive. The decision was based not only on appearance, but also on the quality experienced through direct use: material strength, solidity, reliability and the ability to withstand continuous daily operations. For a business working with Honda motorcycles and Polaris quads, the quality of workshop equipment must match the standards of the vehicles being serviced. KIRO was chosen precisely for this reason: its products conveyed the same sense of quality, care and reliability that OFF ROAD ACADEMY associates with Honda.   ### Quality and Long-Term Reliability In a professional workshop, furniture is not simply storage equipment. It is an essential working tool. It must withstand loads and intensive use, help maintain order, remain practical and perform reliably over time. For KIRO, Made in Italy means exactly this: robust materials, attention to detail, carefully executed finishes and products designed for professional use. To explore this topic, read the article on [workshops built to perfection and true Made in Italy](https://blog.kiroconcept.com/en/workshops-built-to-perfection-materials-finishes-and-true-made-in-italy?hsLang=en).   ### The Value of Human Relationships Another aspect that clearly emerges from OFF ROAD ACADEMY's experience is the human relationship established with KIRO. As often happens with the right suppliers, the relationship does not end with a purchase. It develops into trust, dialogue and collaboration. Marcello Romano describes finding people at KIRO who were open to discussion, negotiation and genuine exchanges of ideas: conversations about opinions, design projects and future ambitions. Honesty, transparency and availability therefore become an integral part of the project's value.   ### Made in Italy and a Shared Philosophy of Quality One of the most interesting aspects of this collaboration is the meeting of two cultures of quality. On one side stands Honda's Japanese philosophy: method, precision, reliability and attention to detail. On the other stands KIRO's Made in Italy approach: build quality, functional design, robust materials and the ability to customise a working environment. The workshop is where these two visions come together: a space where quality is demonstrated every day through organisation, cleanliness, functionality and reliability. It is through this shared understanding that KIRO becomes a design partner rather than simply a supplier: a company capable of listening to its customers and translating their needs into a workspace that reflects their working method.

On one side, an official Honda Europe off-road school looking for a workshop capable of meeting high standards of organisation, cleanliness and professionalism. On the other, KIRO, a partner able to provide Made in Italy technical furniture, build quality and a tailor-made design approach. The result is a 1,000 m² workshop designed for motorcycles and quads, featuring four dedicated motorcycle workstations, two Polaris quad workstations, a horseshoe-shaped arrangement of workbenches, spacious drawer units and an environment designed to keep everything organised. A workshop that OFF ROAD ACADEMY describes as a **"spa for motorcycles"**: a place where bikes are cared for with method, cleanliness and attention to detail. Above all, this project demonstrates KIRO's deeper value: not simply manufacturing professional workshop furniture, but building relationships, listening to customers and transforming a space into a tool that supports everyday work.
