You can look forward to nine different disciplines, as well as the Silver World Cup in the discipline of slopestyle. You will be able to test more than 200 new bikes from dozens of bicycle brands. You'll walk through a rich expo zone and experience an unforgettable evening program.

Evening parties

There is nothing better than - after a day spent on a bike - enjoying a proper party. We already prepare Friday and Saturday as standard.

Great food

Every year at BikeFest we bring a gastro zone full of great food for everyone to choose from. A selection of meat awaits you, as well as options for vegetarians and vegans.

Whip off contest

Whips have no purpose other than to look good. A good whip is more stylish than 8 out of 10 more difficult tricks. It's a trick in which the rider "bends" the back of the bike to the side in a jump.

Frequently asked questions

During the event, 1x every day, ie 3x during the BikeFest. We are trying to enable fair bike booking among several bikers so that top bikes are not booked by one person for the whole day.
Toľko, koľko je časových termínov, tj 6 rôznych bicyklov. 
Pri rezervácií do systému musí byť každý účet napísanú na osobu staršiu ako 18 rokov.  Pri neplnoletých deťoch napríklad na rodiča, alebo zodpovednú osobu, ktorá pôjde s neplnoletou osobou na BikeFest. Táto osoba bude na BikeFeste preberať a zodpovedať za bicykel. Po prevzatí bicykla môže na ňom jazdiť neplnoletá osoba, ktorú na BikeFeste zastupuje.
Nie, systém Vám to nedovolí.
