SIDE EVENTS

Three Days of Festival Activities

There is plenty happening at the Bike Festival Saalfelden Leogang – not only at the Expo and out on the trails. The side events also turn the festival weekend into a special experience for everyone who wants to get active, improve their skills and try something new.

One of the absolute highlights is Ride with the Pros. Join well-known stars from the bike scene for ride-outs, tours and riding skills workshops. This is your opportunity to learn directly from the professionals, pick up valuable tips and ride alongside them. Whether it is choosing the right line, improving your cornering technique, gaining more confidence on the trails or simply enjoying the unique experience of riding with some of the biggest names in the scene, Ride with the Pros brings you closer to the professionals and helps you take your own riding to the next level.

The Bike Academy is all about specialist knowledge, practical expertise and useful tips covering every aspect of biking. In a variety of workshops, experts share valuable knowledge to help you enjoy greater safety, better flow and even more fun on your bike. Topics include riding technique, bike setup, finding the right settings, understanding your equipment and many other areas that will directly benefit you out on the trails.

Young riders will also have plenty to look forward to. At the Kids Cup, the youngest bikers take centre stage. Children can experience the excitement of racing for the first time, demonstrate their skills and become part of the festival with plenty of fun and motivation.

For all young riders who love downhill action and gravity racing, the auner Austrian Gravity Series is exactly the right event. The race series is known for its perfect combination of challenge and riding enjoyment and offers young bikers the ideal opportunity to compete on a world-class course. Leogang will be particularly exciting: not only will the grand finale of the series take place here, but the Salzburg and Tyrol regional championship titles will also be decided.
