TL;DR
India Bike Week 2025 successfully concluded at its new venue in Panchgani, Maharashtra, focusing on rider experiences and interactions over product launches.
The twelfth edition of India Bike Week (IBW) 2025 recently concluded, capping off a weekend celebration of motorcycling culture. For the first time in over a decade, the event was staged at a new venue in Panchgani, Maharashtra, moving away from its traditional Goa location. Despite weeks of uncertainty leading up to the event and the last-minute venue change, IBW 2025 successfully attracted over 16,000 participants.
This year, brands and organizers shifted their focus towards fan interaction, experiential zones, and showcases, rather than solely on product launches. The event featured a diverse range of activities, including the Harley-Davidson Flat Track Race, the IBW Hill Climb, Dirt Dash, and KTM Enduro Cross Track. While the 2025 Triumph Trident 660 was the only new bike showcased with recent updates, Aprilia introduced new color schemes for its RS 457, and KTM India outlined its future motorsport and adventure plans, hinting at a major product reveal for early 2026.
