Panaji: India Bike Week (IBW), touted as the country's largest biking festival, will be held in Goa on February 19 and 20. Conceptualised and initiated by Seventy Event Media Group and Fox Life, this year's event will be held in association with Shell Advance at Arpora Sporting Ground in Arpora village in North Goa.
"IBW 2016 is set to be bigger and better at a new and exciting venue being the Arpora Sporting Ground. The venue will be ready to host over 12,000 hardcore club-members and independent riders," said Martin Da Costa, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Seventy EMG.
IBW is said to bring back the stars of the festival - live bands, movie screenings, Bikini Bike Wash, the National Custom Bike Build-Offs, and National Stunt Championship, along with hundreds of new Bike launches, custom and vintage bike displays, and sessions with international Biker Legends.
This year, India Bike Week will also bring iconic biking experiences - the best names in motorbike stunt championships, a biking film festival, the international Bike Expo, the Hard Enduro Challenge, and the infamous Moto Trails show by Dougie Lampkin.
There will also be a chance to see some of the greatest bikes on display in India at the Vintage bike concours and the motorcycle inspired art at the Moto Art Collective.
"With India Bike Week 2016 set to be our biggest yet, we are thrilled to be back in Goa who have been great hosts to Asia's biggest biking festival. We feel this year with our efforts in bringing in an ensemble of new attractions coupled with rider support systems to bikers across India, we are taking a step closer to identifying Goa and India Bike Week as a global biking experience," Costa said.
Swati Mohan, Business Head of Fox Networks Group, said, "IBW has grown over the years and has become a celebration of not just biking, but also a mecca for experience seekers and travellers."
Establishing itself as the annual mecca for all things related to the biking culture, the festival not only appeals to the hardcore leather jacket purists, but hosts special attractions pulling together thousands of the everyday bikers from across the country and international borders.
"It's a meeting ground for passionate bikers, collectors, riders, tourists and their friends. The fact that IBW has only grown over the years, assures us that we are striking a pretty special chord with this event and the people, passion and fervour that come with it," she said.
