India Bike Week has announced a major venue shift for its 2025 edition. The festival, originally scheduled to take place in Goa, will now be held in Panchgani, Maharashtra, on 19 and 20 December. The organisers confirmed the move was necessitated due to the rescheduling of the Zilla Parishad elections in Goa.
Set in the hill town’s scenic terrain, the 12th edition of IBW promises a refreshed experience with new trails, cooler weather, and mountain camping experiences.
The festival will feature high-adrenaline showcases such as the Endurance Stunt Show by Pol Tarres, Wheelie Experience by Aprilia, and India’s largest test ride arena with premium motorcycle brands. The Gulf TrackHouse MotoGP Team is also set to make an appearance with a special showcase.
Visitors can expect over ten dedicated riding activities ranging from the Pulsar Stunt School to a Kids’ Mini Moto Track by Vida’s Dirt-E K3. Competitive racing will take centre stage with FMSCI-backed formats including the IBW Hill Climb by Reise Moto and the Harley-Davidson Flat Track Race.
The entertainment lineup will feature performances by King, Karan Kanchan, Sugga Honey, and Antariksh as part of Harley-Davidson Rock Riders, along with sets at the Jameson Connects Howling Dog stage by Hamza Rahimtula and the Folkstars, Hideaway All Stars, DJ Russell, and DJ Black Jack.
The popular Big Trip stage returns with global travellers and storytellers, including Simon and Lisa Thomas, Elspeth Beard, Zubin Jaafar, Kshitij Saxena, Gautham AG, Candida Louis, and Maral Yazarloo, sharing their experiences and insights.
