Given the sustained success of the Indian Riders Fest, plans are underway for an even more significant gathering in 2026. In conjunction with the 125th Anniversary of Indian Motorcycle, a special edition of the festival has been scheduled, welcoming global riders and enthusiasts to partake in an unparalleled celebration of America’ s oldest motorcycle manufacturer.
Aaron Jax, Vice President of Indian Motorcycle, affirmed,“ The Indian Riders Fest continues to serve as more than a motorcycle event; it has evolved into a global platform that unites riders through a shared affinity for Indian Motorcycle, freedom, and the open road. The dedication of Jean-Marie and his team, along with the European Indian Motorcycle staff, resulted in another exemplary weekend. Ultimately, it is the collective spirit of the riders that defines IRF, and we look forward to welcoming them again for IRF26 as we celebrate 125 years of Indian Motorcycle.” TRAVERSE
