The story

DownShift Festival Cyprus in Kato Koutrafas

A two-day action-sports festival at the Moto Pista circuit in Kato Koutrafas, mixing supermoto racing, stunt and wheelie shows, airbag jumps for BMX and MTB riders, and a judged Best Looking Bike contest. The weekend closes with an electronic music after-party, and spectator tickets are sold by the day or for the full two days, with free entry for children under twelve.

Moto Pista, a motorsport circuit in Kato Koutrafas in Cyprus's Nicosia district, hosts a two-day action-sports festival each spring aimed squarely at riders and spectators rather than a general festival crowd.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few Cyprus motorsport events combine this many disciplines on one circuit in one weekend: supermoto track racing, freestyle stunt and wheelie riding, and a dedicated airbag jump setup that lets BMX and mountain bike riders attempt tricks safely in front of spectators

02

The mystery stays covered

The Best Looking Bike contest adds a judged, non-competitive element alongside the racing, while the electronic music after-party that closes the second day gives the event a nightlife dimension most riding-focused festivals do not attempt

03

The city starts moving

Rider registration is tiered by activity, so participants can enter for track sessions, stunt riding or the bike contest independently
