Celebrating a Decade of Passion and Community

Since its inception, IBW has become the premier gathering spot for the motorcycling community in India, welcoming enthusiasts of all motorcycle brands from both the country and abroad.

This unique motorcycle will be awarded to one lucky winner at IBW 2024. Moreover, the event will feature an expanded list of participating brands, such as Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, and newcomers like Brixton, all contributing to a richer and more varied experience for attendees.

A New Initiative: IBW Flat Track Race

This edition of IBW introduces the "IBW Flat Track Race," a thrilling new competition in partnership with Harley-Davidson. The race will utilize custom-built Harley-Davidson X440 motorcycles by Rajputana Customs and is affiliated with the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI). The race follows all FMSCI rules and safety guidelines and includes qualifying rounds on December 6 & 7, 2024, with the Semi Finals & Final Round on December 7.

The top three winners will share an impressive total prize of Rs 1 million.
