The centrepiece of the event is the largest MTB and EMTB outdoor trade fair in Germany. Attractive trade fair offers, trends and more than 1000 test bikes attract tens of thousands of visitors to the BIKE Festival every year. Sporting highlight in 2023: From 26 to 28 May, the German Downhill Championships will take place on the former World Cup course - a spectacular show for spectators too. Registration for the iXS Downhill Cup is open from 28 March.
You can already register for the Upland Enduro and the Scott BIKE Marathon - a special incentive on the long marathon route: valuable UCI points can be collected here. With around 2000 participants, the marathon is one of the sporting highlights of the festival.
This year's Shimano Gravel Ride invites all gravel fans to a sporty tour off the beaten track and over gravel, field and meadow paths.
Registration for the popular BIKE Academy opens on 1 April: Professional guides and coaches from the BIKE Academy offer a wide range of workshops and courses for all festival participants.
E-mountain bikers can compete in the Bosch eMTB Challenge supported by Trek on the trails of the bike park and the youngest riders can give it their all in the Kids Cup and the Lazer Junior Trophy, cheered on by a large and enthusiastic audience.
