Our commitment to two wheeled sports

At iXS, we don’t just make gear — we invest in the sports we live for. For over 20 years, we’ve been a driving force behind some of the most iconic events in two-wheeled racing.
We founded and continue to power the iXS Downhill Cup — a proving ground that’s launched countless riders into the elite ranks of World Cup MTB. Then there’s the iXS Dirt Masters Festival — an epic celebration of dirt culture, created to bring the scene together in one unforgettable weekend. Now the biggest gravity festival in Europe, it draws over 40,000 fans every year.
But our commitment goes further. We back riders, teams, and competition at every level, across the globe. From racetracks to raw trails, from enduro stages to off-road battlegrounds — our gear is tested where it matters: under pressure, at speed, in the real world. Passion. Progression. Protection. It’s what drives us — and what defines us.

Two Wheels. One Obsession.

Whether it’s engine-powered or pedal-driven, the passion is the same. Speed, freedom, and the raw thrill of the ride. Every turn, every jump, every challenge fuels our obsession to go faster, ride harder, and build better gear. This is what drives us — to create protection that performs, for those who live for life on two wheels.
