First introduced in 2013, the India Bike Week is the most popular event for motorcyclist enthusiasts of the country. The 2022 edition of the IBW is all set to return in Goa and the event is scheduled to be held on December 2-3, 2022. For people not in the know, IBW was held in Lonavala, near Pune in 2021. Before this, the 2020 edition of the IBW was cancelled due to the pandemic.
India Bike Week in association with PETRONAS Sprinta, will offer an unforgettable experience of moto-culture in India, music, food, racing, shopping, adventure and biker camaraderie. Bookings are open now for enthusiasts to secure participation at the festival in GOA 2022. The festival is expected to see one of the largest gathering of bikers beating any previous records. The early bird passes are available till October 16, 2022 for INR 2,300 for individual riders and INR 2,600 per person for a club with 25+ members.
Curated by festival specialist, Seventy EMG, the IBW 2022 has been themed – ‘Come Home to the Wild’ as a callout for all those who crave to be their authentic selves and meet like-minded people with a shared love for two-wheels. 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. The event attractions will include: 5 different race tracks, Wheelie training, Ring of Fire, Biker’s Mart (Indoor & Outdoor Expo), RevMoto Stage, Big Trip sessions, IBW Previously Loved Garage, IBW Surf Day, IBW Collector’s Showcase, the Club Village and Jameson’s Howling Dog Bar. IBW 2022 will also feature The Big Forkers Meat Fest dedicated to the art of curing, grilling, smoking and barbecuing meats – from Goan Chorizo to whole hog roasts, spit roasts, fire & meat displays, churrascarias, tawa and tandoor – by the best 5 pitmasters from across the country.
IBW will also support the community with their Rides to IBW Goa, Secret Trails and Hideaway Rides within Goa, after parties and brunches. Each of these will have exciting activities for participants to be immersed in the wild experience that IBW is synonymous with and offering a chance to reconnect with the community that shares the same DNA.
“Riding makes you feel one with the world and yourself. It is a state of meditation triggered by the wish to know yourself better. And what could be better than meeting a community that is built of people who are looking to discover themselves and the world. In the 8th edition, IBW is larger than ever. What’s completely new about this edition are the 5 racing tracks for our biker friends at IBW – Adventure Flow Track, Flat Track, MX Dirt Dash, The Mud Rush, and the Enduro Hill Climb. It really will be Ride, Party, Race for all of us in Goa this year” says Martin da Costa, CEO of 70 EMG and Festival Director.
