Where Speed Meets Culture. The 2026 CST Motorcycle Culture Carnival Is Here

Three world-class circuits. Five competitive classes. One unforgettable season for motorcycle enthusiasts across China — and beyond.

Since its inaugural edition in 2019, the CST Tires Motorcycle Culture Carnival has grown into one of China’s most respected motorsport events. Built on a foundation of professional-grade racing and an authentic celebration of motorcycle culture, the 2026 season marks the fourth chapter of this landmark series.

This season spans three venues across China — Zhengzhou, Guiyang, and Xiamen — bringing together elite competitors, rising rookies, and passionate enthusiasts under one banner. With an expanded class structure and increased prize pools, the 2026 edition promises to be the most compelling yet.
