Arizona Bike Week will return to Scottsdale this spring, bringing concerts, stunt and bike shows, and a lineup of racing and motorsports programming inside the HellRacer Dome.
The Southwest motorcycle rally will run from Wednesday, April 8 to Sunday, April 12, at WestWorld, and the HellRacer Dome will host races, training sessions, motorcycle displays and other activities designed for riders and spectators, according to a press release.
A returning feature is flat track racing, which came back to Arizona Bike Week last year after a multi‑year hiatus. The competition features riders circling a 1/8‑mile dirt track in a nearly constant left turn, requiring precision and control.
The HellRacer Dome will also host the Slide School, led by professional racer Johnny Lewis, who instructs sessions focused on building rider confidence and handling skills.
Electric unicycle racing from Amped Electric Games will add another element to the lineup. Participating riders compete at high speeds on single‑wheel devices in races that emphasize balance, precision and reaction time.
“The HellRacer Dome is a favorite hangout for our motorsports enthusiasts. But even non-riders should check it out,” Ms. Cyr said. “The action inside is fast, fun and totally unpredictable, giving guests a front-row seat to all the excitement.”
While the HellRacer Dome remains a central attraction, Arizona Bike Week includes additional activities. The RockYard will host concerts Wednesday through Saturday, and the vendor area will offer apparel, leather goods, tattoos, bikes, parts and related merchandise.
Stunt shows, bike shows and combat sports are also scheduled. “Bikes & Fights,” part of the Arena Wars Fighting Series, will take place inside The Pit, Arizona Bike Week’s newest action arena.
Arizona Bike Week offers a range of ticket options, including multi‑day rally passes covering all concerts and events, as well as single‑day passes.
The PowerYard is free to visitors until 5 p.m., with paid access required after that time. RV and tent camping options are available for attendees who want to stay on-site.
