THIS WILL BE DIFFERENT IN 2026

Thanks to the support of the municipality of Ruhpolding and the Ruhpolding Tourist Board, we are finally organizing another great European motorcycle meeting for the best community in the world.

PROVEN WAYS TO STAY:
3 DAYS, 2 WHEELS, 1 LOVE!

Custom bikes, test rides, guided tours, off-road courses, lectures, workshops, a dealer mile, street food, live music, camping, and much more! Everything's as good as ever, only better, and all in the heart of the beautiful Bavarian Chiemgau Alps. It's not just an event; it's a celebration of the motorcycle community, style, and adventure.

GUIDED TOURS

Guided Tours


Don't worry, don't struggle with the navigation system, but simply hop on, follow the bike, and enjoy? Our team of guides offers various route lengths and tours, both on- and off-road, for which you can register starting in spring.

LECTURES

Lectures & Workshops


Numerous lectures from world travelers, tour operators, and adventurers, as well as workshops on first aid and tire changing, will inspire you.

STUNT SHOWS

Stunt Shows


We've already had Pol Tarres, Kilian Moreno, and Adrian Guggemos at the start, showing off their skills on heavy Yamahas and agile trial bikes. Be prepared to be surprised by who will impress you in 2026.

CAMP SITE

Camp Site


We'll be setting up our own campsite right on site, complete with state-of-the-art, clean restroom facilities. The campsite will be available from Thursday afternoon to Monday morning.

CAMPING

TEST RIDES

Test Rides


At MaxlRIDE 2024, the latest models from BMW Motorrad, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Royal Enfield, Triumph Motorcycles, and Yamaha were available for free testing. Be surprised by who will be making their contingent available in 2026.

OFFROAD-PARCOURS

OFFROAD PARCOURS

Offroad Parcours


The former speedway stadium in Ruhpolding will be transformed into a diverse course where you can perfect your skills on your own bike. Professional instructors will be on hand to support you.

CUSTOM & VINTAGE BIKES

The spa gardens in Ruhpolding are transformed into a motorcycle museum. More or less crazy conversions from all over Europe and unique historical pieces will make you dream.

Thank you for the successful 2024 festival. The superbly guided tours through your surroundings and the top-notch catering, organization, and fun. Hopefully, advance ticket sales for 2025 will start soon. We'll definitely see you again.
Greetings from East Frisia to Bavaria.


Uwe Schröjahr

Congratulations on this fantastic event! Simply "really good"!


Marcus Bouquerot

It was a joy for me to be part of your heartfelt project again this year, and I felt like it grew a huge amount this year and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. ❤️ I can only give you a huge compliment and say, "Legendary planning, and you motivate sooooo many people with so much passion!" THANK YOU 😘


Amelie Mesecke

This completes my really positive impression of the Maxlride Festival!

Great restroom facilities, which are also very well maintained, a coffee & (!!) croissant – I don't really know what could be missing!

Okay, a shady spot (grin, after last year's weather) and the music last night wasn't really my cup of tea, but that's not a high-level complaint; it's actually superfluous...


Thilo

Absolutely awesome event!! I'm still thrilled! Keep it up. Awesome organizing team! Thanks! Holly from Stechau!


Holger Clauß

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the fantastic event!
You exceeded all my expectations.
I was thrilled by the level of perfection in the organization.


Manfred Elsner

I would like to congratulate all the "creators" on the fantastic Maxlride 2024 event. The event was very well-planned in terms of content, the rides were magnificent, the bands in the evening were great, the range of activities was huge, the location was fantastic, and the atmosphere was generally very harmonious – even the weather cooperated (except for a little on Sunday).

The two of us from far away in northern Germany were there for the first time. If you can maintain the standard or even improve, we'll be regulars for years to come.
I read the report in Fuel in the fall of 2023 and was immediately hooked. A completely crazy concept, something I'd never seen before – I had to see it with my own eyes. And it was definitely worth it.


Torsten & Ludger

The worst motorcycle event of my life. 18 euros for entry for nothing. The food prices are also exorbitantly high. Hardly any exhibitors actually selling anything. You've seen the last of me.


Andreas

I'd like to compliment you on this event.
I arrived from Tyrol near Innsbruck on Friday with great anticipation.
I was extremely pleasantly surprised by how many motorcycles (manufacturers) I was able to test on- and off-road. ...

I'll definitely be back next year.


Stefan Aschbache

It's really impressive what you're doing!


Schelke Bonnetsmüller

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who organized, supported, and made the weekend possible.

Camping with showers, restrooms, and breakfast were great, and the cleanliness was always exemplary. I know what a logistical feat goes into achieving such a result.

The exhibitors, vendors, bands, and program were also fantastic.

I wish you the opportunity to successfully host many more events.


Holger Rönsch

After three days of fun with humorous people in a relaxed atmosphere, cool bands, and lots of new ideas about mopeds, I drove home today with a big grin despite the rain. Great event, hats off to the organizers and promoters.
