Indian Rider's Fest & Budweis Custom Sho

125 Years of Indian Motorcycles

Indian Rider's Fest & Budweis Custom Show

Lake Lipno, Czechia, June 18-21, 2026

The 125th anniversary of the Indian Motorcycle brand was celebrated on a grand scale in Europe - at Lipno nad Vltavou, in the beautiful countryside of historic Bohemia in the south of the Czech Republic. More than 5,000 Indian enthusiasts from Europe and beyond gathered to celebrate Indian's 125th anniversary at the 10th annual Indian Rider's Fest …


Recognized worldwide as the largest annual gathering of Indian Motorcycle enthusiasts, thousands made the journey to central Europe in June 2026 to celebrate the brand's 125th anniversary.

Best of Show was the 'Top Mountain Museum' tribute bike of the twins Attila and Alban Scheiber.

Founded in 1901 by George Hendee and Oscar Hedstrom, 'Indianistas' came from all over Europe and as far away as Oman, Kuwait, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and even The United States to celebrate the history, culture and motorcycles - old and new - of one of the global motorcycle industry's most storied brands.

The guest list included Indian Motorcycle management, led by their CEO Mike Kennedy, and legendary customiser Ola Stenegärd (Director of Product Design for Indian Motorcycle) at the Indian Riders Fest in Lipno nad Vltavou, Czech Republic, from June 18-21, 2026. 

Stenegärd, himself a former competitor in the AMD European Championship of Custom Bike Building 'back in the day', attended the festival as the Jury President for the 5th Anniversary Budweis Custom Show (BCS - an AMD world Championship 'Approved' custom Bike Show) and the only known international custom show globally dedicated exclusively to Indian Motorcycles.

Great weather, beautiful riding country and exquisite examples of Indian design covering all generations and iterations of the brand's history provided the perfect lifestyle-oriented backdrop to "what it's all about" - riding!

The Indian Riders Festival, including the Budweis Custom Show, was organized in Lipno for the second time in 2026, after having taken place in Budweis for years. The venue provides a magnificent location, on the lake front, with many apartments, hotels, riding routes and restaurants welcoming the many guests. Last year the event was split on two adjacent lots, but with that first experience at Lipno under their belt, 12 months later the organizers were able to bring it all together - focussing the bike show, merchandise tents, stunt shows, and various stands were all on a single site at the grounds surrounding the harbor and on the pier.

The Budweis Custom Show was set up under a large Bedouin tent, the renowned AMD Approved Indian Only Custom Bike Show, for which 26 top class motorcycles were selected. Next year it is planned to be able to increase that number and available space.

Led by Ola Stenegärd, it was a classic case of 'less being more' giving the jury a tough task to choose the winners from the selection, with only the first places in the five Indian specific classes, plus a best finish receiving winners, receiving recognition. The classes were Scout, Non Fairing, Touring (including Baggers), Clubstyle and Custom Paint. There was also a Public Choice award. The motorcycles were ridden onto the stage on Saturday afternoon during the awards ceremony.

Best of Show was the 'Top Mountain Museum' tribute bike of the twins Attila and Alban Scheiber. They are the owners of the recently rebuilt motorcycle and classic car museum at the CrossPoint on the Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road in Austria (2,175 m/6,500 ft altitude). A devasting fire in 2021 saw over 200 motorcycles destroyed, including many rare and historic Indians.

The brothers were able to reopen in just 10 months in a new 4,500 sq m (50,000 sq ft) custom designed and built facility that has been re-stocked with more than 500 collector loaned motorcycles - no small thing at over 6,000 ft in The Alps in such a short period of time.

Next to the Custom Bike Show there was a Top Mountain Museum exhibition. Together with Hans Devos, a very beautiful and varied selection of old Indians had been brought together, the oldest of which was a 'Camelback' from 1907. Hans Devos had brought along several unique old Indian racing motorcycles, including the Bigsby overhead valve conversion.


The main stage was busy with entertainment all weekend and additional attractions and activities included a spectacular 'Wall of Death' and a lottery draw for a brand-new Vintage Chief customized by Indian Hannover. It was won by Adrian, who came onto the stage completely overwhelmed and stunned, unable to believe he was the winner, and became so emotional that he spontaneously burst into tears! Adrian happened to be a resident of Lipno and was able to proudly ride through his own village on his custom Chief the following morning!

A highlight for many was the Parade, which this year, of course, sealed the celebration of 125 years of Indian - a massive route of 125 km - of course! (nearly 80 miles) - that led through the beautiful surroundings of Lipno and the Böhmerwald. Almost all of the two thousand Indians present rode along, resulting in an 18 km procession! 

Those interested could try out the latest Indians at the demo rides, and at exhaust manufacturer Jekill & Hyde, one could listen to the sound of their electronically adjustable exhausts. During the weekend, J&H and Indian announced that they are officially collaborating from now on.

The dates for next year's Indian Riders Fest/Budweis Custom Show have already been announced - from June 17-20, 2027, in Lipno, CZ!

Progressive Suspension

Adjust Preload Without Removing Saddlebags


The Progressive Suspension 944 Ultra Touring and 944 Ultra Low with Quik Preload System (QPS) make adjusting the preload on PS 944 Series shocks easier than ever before. 

With QPS, it's no longer necessary to take saddlebags off to adjust the sag when going from a single rider to a two-up riding configuration, and then back to a solo riding experience. This means the suspension can be set up for changes in weight load in less than a minute.

"Couple this with the patented Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), and the result is a perfect ride every time. With 30 complete turns of fine-tuning preload adjustment, the maximum performance of the suspension can be dialed in with a few twists of an 8 mm socket."

The 944 Ultra Touring and 944 Ultra Low with QPS utilize a sealed gear drive to smoothly adjust preload and offers the same range of preload adjustment as the original 944 series shocks. Like all 944 Series shocks, the 944 Series with QPS comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Progressive's Frequency Sensing Technology (FST) allows the shocks to sense the frequency of a bump and automatically adjust damping for superior ride quality; the sealed gear driven preload adjuster has 17mm of adjustment.

Progressive's The 944 Ultra Touring and 944 Ultra Low with QPS spring rates are designed specifically for Touring - available in Standard, Heavy Duty, or Super Duty.

Indian Motorcycle

Anniversary Chief Vintage


Available in 125 individually serialized motorcycles to celebrate the brand's 125th anniversary, Indian Motorcycle's limited edition Chief Vintage was unveiled at the Sturgis Rally to highlight the brand's "foundational role" in the Origins of the rally.

Featuring heritage-inspired paint and an iconic, multi-colored Indian Motorcycle Headdress tank logo, its debut at the 86th annual Sturgis Rally had clearly not been a surprise to a certain other long standing midwestern United States motorcycle brand.

Billed as "tribute to the riders that started it all and the bikes they rode in Sturgis, back in 1938," what eventually became the Sturgis Rally we know today was started as a rider's picnic and Hill Climb Race by local Indian Motorcycle Dealer Clarence "Pappy" Hoel along with the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club.

The new Chief Vintage Sturgis, SD Edition is an exclusive, commemorative piece honoring the origins of America's most legendary motorcycle rally. 

"The new Chief Vintage Sturgis, SD Edition draws inspiration from those legendary riders whose passion for the brand sparked what would become the world's largest and most iconic motorcycle rally."

The limited-edition model features a classic two-tone Indian Motorcycle Red and Cream paint scheme and a multi-colored Indian Motorcycle headdress logo reminiscent of the prominent aesthetic featured on Indian Motorcycles of the 1930s. 

Serialized badging up to 125 commemorates the brand's 125-year anniversary, while a painted number 56 on the side plate pays tribute to the hand-painted numbers that original racers ran on their bikes in Sturgis, South Dakota, during the rally's earliest beginnings. 

"When you look at how far it's come and how much it's grown over almost 90 years, it's amazing to think that it was an Indian Motorcycle dealer and a group of Indian Motorcycle riders that literally started it all," said Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle. 


"What's even cooler is the fact that back then, it was all based on a simple desire to come together in celebration of a lifestyle and a spirit of freedom that can only be found through motorcycle riding, and it remains the same to this day." 

The inaugural gathering in the Black Hills was built around nine riders and attracted approximately 200 spectators. The event combined scenic riding, racing and camaraderie and cemented the brand as a key pillar in the history and origins of America's most legendary motorcycle rally. 

The new Chief Vintage Sturgis, SD Edition is based on the 120 ft-lbs. of torque air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 V-Twin engine. Classic Indian Chief styling with valanced fenders, illuminated warbonnet, wire-spoke wheels, Vintage Espresso Solo Seat, Vintage Handleand heritage-inspired engine finishes such as painted cylinder heads, pushrod tubes and black cylinders speak to the Chief's Heritage.

Three selectable ride modes and a 4-inch Round Touchscreen Display powered by RIDE COMMAND with App Enhanced Navigation, live traffic and weather, Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation speak to contemporary riding experiences and expectations - at a $23,999 starting price.
