The Indian Superbike League Qualifiers drew riders from across categories—Pro, Amateur, Female, and Rookie. The overwhelming response reflects the growing appetite for structured, competitive racing in India.
More Than Just Speed
Unlike traditional racing selections, the Indian Superbike League Qualifiers assessed riders on multiple factors including fitness, riding technique, prior racing experience, discipline off the track, and personality. The aim is to develop complete athletes capable of competing at international levels.
