The festivities included parades by motorcycle clubs across India, Mod Bike Rideups, the thrilling Gulf FMX Show, Harley-Davidson Custom King Showcase, and the excitement of exploring six unique tracks.

The price of the Aprilia RS 457 was revealed: Rs 4.10 lakh (ex-showroom). The most affordable Kawasaki, the W175 Street retro-style motorcycle, was launched at Rs 1.35 lakh, and the limited-edition Tiger 900 Rally Pro and Triumph "Stealth Edition" line-up were also launched.

Celebrating the "bring your own bike" (BYOB) culture, the tracks at the IBW were designed for motorcyclists that included the CEAT-challenging Flat Track, Enduro track, and the Mud Rush.
