30 September – 4 October 2026
For Indian Motorcycle riders looking for something genuinely special this autumn, IBEX26 may be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Five days on Spain’s sun-drenched Costa Blanca, three curated riding routes through some of Europe’s finest roads, a privatised four-star cliffside hotel, and 220 Indian Motorcycle riders sharing it all together. This is not a corporate event. It is not a dealer ride-out. It is a premium, rider-first gathering built by people who ride — and who know how to do this properly.
The People Behind It
IBEX26 is produced by Legendary Productions, led by Jean-Marie Guyon — the creator of Indian Riders Fest, which has run every year since 2019 and grown into one of the most respected Indian Motorcycle events in Europe. The Iberia Experience takes everything that has made IRF special — the trust, the attention to detail, the genuine community feel — and brings it to Spain.
The on-road experience is co-crafted with IMRG Alicante, whose local riders know the Costa Blanca roads better than anyone. The event is also supported by Indian Motorcycle, Indian Motorcycle Spain, and the Indian Motorcycle dealership in Alicante. Indian Motorcycle’s Vice President of Global Sales, Joel Harmon, personally visited IRF25 and gave his backing: “I am delighted to tell you we are fully committed to helping Jean-Marie and his team put on an even bigger and better Indian Riders Fest in 2026, a year in which we celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of Indian Motorcycle.”
Your Basecamp
For the full five days, the Hotel Occidental Pueblo Acantilado is yours. The entire four-star property is privatised for IBEX26 — no outside guests, no public access, just the Indian Motorcycle community in their own space. The hotel sits on cliffs above the Mediterranean, just 15 minutes south of Alicante city, designed to evoke a traditional Spanish village with vividly coloured façades, cobbled lanes, and panoramic sea terraces. Dedicated motorcycle parking is on-site. The Costa Blanca enjoys 300 sunny days a year, and in early October the roads are quiet, warm, and made for riding.
The Riding
IMRG Alicante has designed three signature routes covering 115 to 155 kilometres of Costa Blanca’s finest roads — cliff roads, quiet sierras, white villages, coastal sweepers, lighthouse overlooks, and a heritage loop through Alicante’s Old Castle and the chocolate town of Vila Joiosa. Riding is organised in small groups of up to 15 bikes, each guided by two IMRG Alicante stewards. Pacing options — Scenic, Flow, or Tour — are set at check-in, so every rider finds their own rhythm. GPX files, daily briefings, printed cue sheets, and on-road support are all included. There is also towing and recovery to the Alicante dealership included should you need it, plus a complimentary transfer back to base.
The Programme
Wednesday 30 September — Arrival day. Check-in from the afternoon, Welcome Aperitif, official rider orientation, Poolside Chef’s Barbecue Dinner, and a Flamenco spectacle in the Roman-style amphitheatre.
Thursday 1 October — Ride Day 1. Scenic mountain roads, balcony viewpoints, café stops. Return to base for a Valencian Paella Night and live concert by a Spanish rock band.
Friday 2 October — Ride Day 2. Coastal sweepers, sea coves, and lighthouse overlooks. Evening brings a Gourmet Tapas Buffet and a DJ show by the pool under Mediterranean stars.
Saturday 3 October — Ride Day 3. Alicante’s Old Castle heritage loop and the chocolate stop in Vila Joiosa. Noce Final Dinner with panoramic sea views, closing DJ set, and a toast to 125 years of Indian Motorcycle.
Sunday 4 October — Farewell breakfast and departures. An optional self-guided coastal coffee loop with GPX is available for those in no hurry to leave.
What’s Included
Every IBEX26 package includes four nights’ accommodation at the Occidental Pueblo Acantilado on a half-board basis, participation in all three ride days, your rider pack, GPX files and daily briefings, access to all private basecamp evenings and on-site entertainment, and dedicated secured motorcycle parking throughout. Four room tiers are available from €889 per person.
Who Can Join
IBEX26 is open to owners of any Indian Motorcycle model. Pillion passengers are welcome. A valid licence, registration, and insurance are required.
Places Are Limited
IBEX26 is intentionally capped at 220 participants to preserve the premium, unhurried experience it is designed to be. Places are first-come, first-served and the event does tend to sell out. If you are considering it, the time to act is now.
