Cycle Mode Tokyo

Cycle Mode Tokyo is Japan’s premier sports bicycle exhibition, held annually at Tokyo Big Sight. As the country’s largest cycling event, it showcases the latest innovations in road bikes, mountain bikes, and electrically assisted e-bikes from global manufacturers. Unlike exclusive trade shows, this public-facing festival centers on the “Trial Ride” experience, where visitors can test-ride high-end models on massive dedicated tracks. Beyond hardware, the exhibition features specialized apparel, advanced components, and a “Cycling Tourism” zone highlighting domestic and international routes. It is an essential destination for enthusiasts to evaluate new gear and discover regional cycling tours.

Participants intending to test-ride bicycles must sign a liability waiver and are provided with mandatory helmets at the start of the course. Popular international brands often have wait times exceeding 60 minutes for their flagship models, so arriving at the venue opening is highly recommended to secure a time slot. Access to Tokyo Big Sight is efficient via the Yurikamome Line or Rinkai Line.
