Mumbai, November 2, 2022: Asia’s largest bike festival India Bike Week 2022, in association with PETRONAS Sprinta is all set to offer larger-than-life experiences with this year’s special attractions – 5 different race tracks, Wheelie Training, Biker’s Mart (Indoor & Outdoor Expo), Big Trip sessions, Ladakh Tent, the Club Village, Jameson’s Howling Dog Bar, and others. The ‘Ride to IBW’ is only the start to an adventurous journey that starts with riding to Goa and converges into a slew of events that aren’t for the faint-hearted and entice the free spirit of brave heart riders.
Races & Rides:
IBW 2022 will have five tracks and races for all moto enthusiasts – whether you are a Moto Cross fan or a Big ADV rider, there is a track for every rider and motorcycle. Our tyre partner CEAT is co-hosting our Hill Climb, where the fastest one up a hill wins the race and the Mud Rush – a fun dash across loose sand and a few crazy twists and twirls. At the IBW Flat Track, the bikers ride, slide and race, using their skill of balancing man and machine around an oval dirt track. The Adventure Flow Track is an obstacle course designed for ADV bikes while the Dirt Dash is the place to test one’s mastery over dirt and slush. All winners will get trophies, certificates, cash prizes and exciting motoring accessories. For those who want to learn a few skills from the absolute masters of dirt, there is a wide variety of track sessions to sign up for. Vishakh from BAR Academy will conduct 1 hour Enduro sessions to master the gnarly hill trail. Nelly from ProDirt Adventure, Motofarm & FMAE Motopark will coach people on 3 other tracks – Adventure Track, Flow track and the Dirt Dash for Moto Cross and dirt enthusiasts. These track are expected to give the curious a glimpse into the wild world of dirt riding and explore the limits for themselves and their own machines. The registration for the races and sessions is live now on register.indiabikeweek.in.
The on-going IBW Chai Pakoda Rides presented by PETRONAS Sprinta is a platform to ride, connect and celebrate with the biking community around the country. It is hosted on Sunday mornings across 30 cities pan India, with the idea of meeting like-minded people over a short breakfast ride and hopefully forge new friendships within the motorcycling community. The IBW team hopes these rides will encourage the community to get on their bikes for the annual Great Migration to Goa and make full use of the RIDE TO IBW support system in partnership with KoGo, going live on Nov 20. The biggest motorcycle brands such as KTM, BMW Motorrad, Harley-Davidson, etc have confirmed their participation as well.
