For three days in the EPIC Bikepark Leogang there were the latest test material, numerous workshops and lots of things to do.
Just in time for the start of the fourth edition of the BIKE Festival Saalfelden Leogang, the first snow greeted the Leoganger Asitz: But even temperatures of less than ten degrees Celsius and continuous rain could not stop the enthusiastic bikers at the BIKE Festival Saalfelden Leogang. From Friday to Sunday, the festival site was open to browsing, astonishment and testing. Nearly 40 well-known exhibitors pitched their tents in the Expo Area to bring their test material to the man or woman. Hundreds of test bikes were tested in all weather conditions over the trails and tracks at Epic Bikepark Leogang this weekend. Always accompanied by top video material, because even the GoPro Hero 11, launched just before the start of the festival, could be borrowed and tested for the test rides.
With workshops and bike professionals to perfect technology
In addition to numerous renowned bike brands, many professionals in Pinzgau pitched their tents to chat at signing sessions and to pass on their knowledge to the bike-loving amateurs. The workshops around Austria's best downhillers Andi Kolb, Hanna Steinthaler, Marlena Neissl, Elias Schwaerzler, Jasper Jauch and co. were booked out throughout the festival weekend.
Fabio Wibmer’s Bikeflip show was also very popular, which was quickly moved to the underground parking at the valley station of the Asitzbahn, where the East Tyrolean bike star and his Italian colleagues were able to warm up the audience with his tricks in the dry.
And the junior competition, “Scott Junior Trophy Pumptrack”, took place on Sunday as planned – and how: around 70 enthusiastic children showed their skills via the waves and steep curves. And what would a BIKE Festival be without a party – at the Festival Party at the B3, night was turned into day.
The date for the fifth edition of the BIKE Festival Saalfelden Leogang has already been set: In autumn 2023, the EPIC Bikepark Leogang will once again be the meeting point of the bike scene from 15 to 17 September.
