The 13th edition of India Bike Week (IBW), India’s largest celebration of motorcycling and biking culture, is all set to return to Panchgani on December 4-5, 2026. Following the resounding success and overwhelming response to its debut at the iconic town of ‘Table Land’ in 2025, the 2026 edition will take the festival beyond the venue and into the heart of Panchgani itself.
The 2026 edition will expand the experience through the IBW ‘Town Takeover’, expanding the experience across Panchgani and its surrounding region with more activities, riding trails, campsites, parties and rideouts. With improved road conditions leading to Panchgani, the journey to IBW is also set to be smoother and more enjoyable for riders travelling in from across the country, making the ride to the festival an experience in itself.
India Bike Week 2026 will move into a venue that is 50 per cent bigger than last year, giving riders and visitors significantly more room to experience the festival. The expanded space means more parking, more grass and more room to explore, with less dust creating a more comfortable environment while retaining the raw, outdoor character that makes IBW unique.
The 2026 edition of India Bike Week will feature an action-packed line-up of experiences for riders, motorcycle enthusiasts and the wider biking community. Four dedicated racetracks will give participants the opportunity to race, compete and win up to ₹12 lakh. The Stunt Arena will deliver high-octane entertainment with an exciting stunt showcase, including a special surprise performance by an international athlete.The Jameson Ginger Ale X IBW Bike Build-Off Competition will challenge amateur builders to create their own custom motorcycles within a budget, using a motorcycle provided to them and a 50-day build timeline. The winning builders will receive a new Harley-Davidson X440T on which to bring their designs to life, with mentorship from an expert team comprising Harsh Man Rai, Anand Dharmaraj and Shail Sheth. The final winner will be selected at IBW and will travel to the Adventure Bike Rider Festival 2027 to present their design.
Curated by Candida Louis, The Big Trip will bring global overlanders to the stage to share compelling stories of adventure, grit and glory from their journeys across the world. The Misfits Collection, curated by Yogi Chhabria, will showcase a specially selected line-up of unique and unconventional motorcycles from across India, celebrating individuality and creativity within motorcycle culture. The Mod Bike Competition, judged by Arjun Raina, will spotlight some of the country’s most distinctive custom motorcycles and the craftsmanship behind them. As the sun goes down, the celebrations will continue with official IBW after-parties across Panchgani. IBW Town Takeover will bring the festival’s energy into the town and keep the celebrations going well into the early hours. With more local ride-outs and trails planned across Panchgani, riders will have the opportunity to explore new routes with expert guidance and local insights. For those riding in from across the country, Rides to IBW will bring together organised motorcycle journeys from Bengaluru, Kochi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Ahmedabad and other major cities.
