India Bike Week is coming back for 2026, and the details about the event have been released. Just like last year, it is being hosted in Panchgani, Maharashtra on 4 and 5 December, 2026. The event took place in Goa every year until 2024, but it had to be shifted to Panchgani last year due to local election scheduling clashes.
IBW is one of the biggest annual motorcycle gatherings where riders from various parts of India and abroad come together to celebrate bikes, music, food, and the overall motorcycling culture.
Motorsport is also a major part of IBW, and there are five different race events taking place this year spread across dirt, off-road, and closed course. Each one of them requires interested participants to register for them separately, as general IBW entry does not cover competitive entries.
Besides races, IBW 2026 will offer attendees a good mix of stunt shows, custom motorcycle build exhibitions, and live music. Riding gear stalls will also occupy a large section of the festival venue, offering motorcyclists access to newly released riding apparel, protective gear, and accessories.
