Glemseck 101 – 2026
Glemseck 101 – Round 19 of Europe’s Legendary Bike Meeting
From September 4 to 6, 2026, the Glemseck 101 opens its gates for the nineteenth time at the historic Glemseck biker hub on the Solitude race track in Leonberg near Stuttgart, Germany. What started in 2005 as a small gathering of café racer enthusiasts has long since grown into one of Europe’s largest motorcycle events. More than 40,000 visitors from around the world come together each year to celebrate motorcycles, music, and motorsport culture.
1/8 Mile Sprint Races and Custom Bike Show
At the heart of Glemseck 101 are the legendary 1/8-mile sprint races in knockout format. On the former Solitude race track, café racers, scramblers, bobbers, and custom bikes from various classes compete head-to-head. Alongside talented customizers from the international scene, prominent guests from the motorcycle world – including former world champions and racing legends – regularly take to the start line. The custom bike show gives builders and designers from around the world a stage to present their unique creations and craftsmanship to an international audience.
Exhibitor Mile, Test Rides, and Stage Program
More than 101 exhibitors present current motorcycles, riding gear, accessories, and customizing parts on the exhibitor mile. Manufacturers and dealers offer test rides, while the stage alternates between vehicle presentations, interviews, and live acts. In the evening, live rock and rockabilly bands provide the perfect festival atmosphere. Camping facilities are available directly on the event grounds for those wishing to stay overnight.
