The Show Bike

Since 1994, the ‘ Show Bike ’ has brought together nearly 30,000 motorcyclists every year! For a few days, Montalivet is transformed into the headquarters for thousands of motorbike enthusiasts, centred around a festival organised by the Outcasts MC Aquitaine. With parades, concerts and exhibitions, the resort is transformed each year to host this event, which marks the start of the summer season.

An American tune over a weekend

The Show Bike has become an institution for motorsport enthusiasts. A leading event in the South-West and across Europe, its originality and friendly atmosphere make this gathering an unmissable annual event for lovers of two-wheeled vehicles.

Open to all, the festival welcomes anyone curious to discover this unique world. The American dream takes centre stage for a weekend, providing an opportunity to celebrate a culture that has long been marginalised.

Get ready to be dazzled… and treated to a real treat for the ears!
