MTB Shimla
MTB Shimla – India’s Most Loved MTB Cycling Challenge
Since its inception in 2012, MTB Shimla has grown into one of India’s most loved and iconic mountain biking challenges. What began as a simple idea — to bring the joy of off-road cycling to the foothills of the Himalayas — has evolved into a powerful movement that has shaped the mountain biking culture of India.
With 15 successful editions, the event has inspired countless riders, nurtured young talent, strengthened local communities, and transformed Shimla and its surrounding trails into a national hub for mountain biking.
A Race That Transformed a Sport
Before MTB Shimla, mountain biking in India was limited, scattered, and largely unexplored. There were no major platforms to bring riders together or celebrate the sport. MTB Shimla changed all of that.
For many, the race is not just a competition — it is a life-changing experience that fuels confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love for the sport.
Building a Culture, Not Just an Event
MTB Shimla has played a defining role in building India’s MTB ecosystem.
Through the event, a strong riding community has emerged, including:
- Local trail builders
- Young racers and clubs
- Schools with cycling programs
- omen-led cycling initiatives
- Homestays and village partners supporting adventure tourism
The event has also helped shift public perception, proving that mountain biking is not a niche hobby but a mainstream sport with passion, purpose, and potential.
A Gateway to the Himalayas & to Bigger Dreams
MTB Shimla is often the first big race for riders who later go on to compete in:
