India Bike Week (IBW), Asia’s largest and most anticipated celebration of motorcycling culture, now in its 12th year, is all set to return to Goa on December 12th and 13th, 2025. The iconic festival will once again transform the city into the epicenter of biking enthusiasm, uniting riders, motorcycle clubs, leading brands, and two-wheeler aficionados from across the country. Over two exhilarating days, attendees can expect a dynamic celebration of community, camaraderie, and all things motorcycling.
With each passing year, India Bike Week has evolved beyond a festival—it’s become a movement. A true reflection of India’s fast-growing motorcycling community, IBW brings together passionate riders from every corner of the country to share stories, forge connections, and celebrate the spirit of freedom on two wheels. The 2025 edition promises new experiences, expanded arenas, and fresh collaborations that will elevate the festival to a whole new level.
Martin Da Costa, CEO & Founder, Seventy EMG, said, “Over the years, India Bike Week has grown into a true celebration of the motorcycling spirit in India—a melting pot of stories, machines, and the people who ride them. Each edition has been bigger, bolder, and more unforgettable than the last. As we gear up for IBW 2025, we’re excited to once again bring together the country’s vibrant riding community for what promises to be our most thrilling chapter yet. From the IBW Chai & Pakoda Rides to the Jameson Bike Build Off and everything in between, this year is all about pushing boundaries and celebrating the freedom of the open road.”
