The Journey of India Bike Week (IBW)
India Bike Week began in 2013 as a dream to unite India’s diverse motorcycling tribes under one banner. What started as a small get-together of enthusiasts has grown into Asia’s largest motorcycling festival. Over the years, IBW has hosted everything from –
- KTM adventure showcases to
- Custom bike parades,
- Drag races, and
- Workshops with global icons.
Last year’s edition (2024) saw KTM’s 390 Adventure and Enduro R steal the spotlight. This year, expectations are higher, engines louder, and the community stronger.
Why Riders Keep Coming Back?
Because IBW is more than machines, it is emotion. It is the moment when strangers become friends, united by the sound of a revving engine. It is where riders share stories of mountain passes and coastal highways, of crashes and comebacks, of speed and solitude. For many, IBW is a pilgrimage, a yearly reunion of souls who find peace in motion.
The Road Calls Again
As December nears, the countdown has begun. The 12th edition of India Bike Week promises two electrifying days packed with speed, style, and soul where the roar of engines becomes the rhythm of celebration.
So, whether you ride a humble commuter or a snarling superbike, Goa is calling. Pack your gear, fuel your passion, and follow the sound of freedom, because IBW 2025 is where the biker spirit truly comes alive.
Final Tip – Early bird tickets open from 11 to 19 October on indiabikeweek.in website. See you in Vagator, where freedom meets throttle.
