"Despite economic challenges, the bicycle industry remains a key driver of innovation. We invite all cycling enthusiasts to see this for themselves on the Saturday of the trade show," says Fairnamic's Managing Director Philipp Ferger. "You can only truly understand bicycles and new mobility concepts when you try them out firsthand. The Eurobike Festival combines innovations, cycling culture and community to create an experience for all generations."
Shows, test rides, travel talks and interactive activities make the festival a hub for cycling enthusiasts, families and those interested in mobility. Private visitors can gain their first impressions as early as Friday from 12 noon with the after-work ticket. On that day, the legendary Bembelcrit cycling race will already create a racing atmosphere starting at 4:30 p.m.
New Trail Test Area and Urban Test Area expand the riding experience
The Demo Area has been one of the Eurobike Festival's main crowd-pullers for years. Following more than 45,000 test rides in the previous year, the offer will expand further in 2026: in partnership with CIXI and SENA, a Trail Test Area for cross, gravel and mountain bikes as well as an Urban Test Area for micromobility vehicles will be introduced for the first time. On a roughly two-kilometer course, visitors can experience and compare the latest vehicles and mobility solutions for themselves under realistic conditions. For a smooth process and shorter waiting times, visitors can register online in advance free of charge (https://eurobike.com/frankfurt/de/eurobike-festival/demo-area-test-track.html).
