Every year, the biking calendar lights up with anticipation, and in 2025, Maharashtra IBW 2025 was the nexus of that energy. This December, at Panchgani IBW 2025, riders from every corner of India gathered, engines roared, communities collided, and for Explurger, it was yet another opportunity to take our moto-social philosophy out from behind the screen and onto the asphalt. If our motto Get Out, Get Social means anything, it’s that real connection happens in the real world, and at Maharashtra IBW 2025, it happened loud, proud, and with fuel in our veins.
For Explurger, community isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a commitment. We’ve been part of biking culture before; we were there last year, and we’re committed to showing up where our riders live their passion. If you missed our Delhi–Pushkar Freedom Ride earlier in 2025, that was another example of Rider Connect in action, a beautifully choreographed meeting of minds and machines across hundreds of kilometres. And this December, at Panchgani IBW 2025, we kept that momentum rolling.
About Maharashtra IBW 2025
IBW or India Bike Week is an annual festival held at different geographical locations, honouring, celebrating and encouraging bikers and riders. People from all over the world come to witness the adrenaline-filled fest, most come with their own bikes that they value more than anything else. For riders, their bikes mean religion, it’s their love, hard work and passion, hell, some don’t even let anyone else touch it, much less take a ride. Bike Week festivals are not new, but the way riders engage with each other, telling stories, trading routes, and building camaraderie over a shared throttle, makes them unique. At Maharashtra IBW 2025, that ethos was amplified through our Rider Connect initiative.
If there is one thing Explurger has never treated as a marketing gimmick, it is community. We do not just talk about getting people out of their homes. We actually do it. Rider’s Connect at Maharashtra IBW 2025 was another solid reminder of why our motto, Get Out – Get Social, is not just a line we put on banners.

Explurger and the Biker Community at IBW 2025: Not a One-Time Fling
Explurger has been working closely with biking and riding communities across India for years now. This is not our first ride, and it will not be the last. We were part of IBW last year as well, and that experience set the tone for what we wanted to build going forward. We do not just “activate” at events. We participate.
Unlike most social platforms, Explurger does not stop at online engagement. We believe real communities are built offline. That belief reflects clearly in how often we host, support, and show up at in-person meets, rides, and creator gatherings. Rider’s Connect is a part of that long-term effort.
The Route: Panchgani Beyond the Venue | IBW 2025
The route for Rider’s Connect at Maharashtra IBW 2025 was curated to move away from crowded highways and into quieter, scenic stretches. From the IBW venue at Dubash Airfield, the group rode through plateau roads that most tourists miss. The views opened into valleys, lush greenery, and stretches where the only sound was engines cutting through the morning. Rolling into Satara’s stunning beauty and finally landing at Banana Leaf Cafe.
This is where Panchgani IBW 2025 truly stood out. Instead of staying confined to the venue, riders experienced the geography around it. The terrain. The silence. The kind of roads that remind you why you ride early mornings.

Once helmets came off and bikes were parked, the real Riders’ Connect began. Over breakfast, riders connected face-to-face. No filters, no captions, no follower counts.
We organized light games to break the ice, but honestly, they were barely needed. Conversations flowed naturally. Riders spoke about their journeys, their bikes, and how riding fits into their lives. What stood out most was the storytime session. Several riders spoke about how Explurger helped them document their rides, connect with like-minded explorers, and feel part of something larger than their solo journeys. These were not scripted testimonials. These were honest reflections over coffee and breakfast plates.
This is exactly why Maharashtra IBW 2025 mattered to us.
Why Rider Connect Is Different?
Many platforms talk about community. Very few actually build one offline.
Rider’s Connect is not an influencer meetup. It is not a brand-heavy activation. It is a space where riders meet other riders, creators meet explorers, and conversations happen without an agenda. Explurger acts as the connector, not the center of attention.
At Maharashtra IBW 2025, this difference was visible. No forced content creation. No pressure to post. Riders naturally documented moments because they wanted to, not because they had to.
Explurger at IBW: Consistency Matters
Explurger’s presence at IBW is not about ticking a calendar box. Being part of Maharashtra IBW 2025 was a continuation of our commitment to riding communities. We showed up last year. We showed up this year. And we will continue to show up.
The rider community on Explurger is growing because we invest time in it. From breakfast rides to creator connects to travel meetups, we consistently create spaces for real interaction. That is why riders trust us. That is why they show up at 6:00 AM.
This is where Explurger stands apart from other social and travel apps. We do not just host digital features. We host people.
Looking Ahead
Maharashtra IBW 2025 was not the end of Rider’s Connect. It was another checkpoint in a much longer ride. More cities, more routes, and more communities are already on the roadmap.
