DXBike vs Dubai Ride: two different things
The names get muddled everywhere, so let's separate them. DXBike is a place: Visit Dubai's brand for the serviced trackside hub on the 8.4 km District One circuit at Meydan, open year-round for everyday riding. Dubai Ride is an event: the one-morning-a-year mass ride when Sheikh Zayed Road's fourteen lanes close to cars and tens of thousands of riders take over the city: 40,327 of them at the record-setting 2025 edition. Dubai Ride was not renamed DXBike; it still runs under its own name as the opening event of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, and the next edition is confirmed for Sunday 1 November 2026, and free registration is open now at dubairide.com. For the track itself, with its loops, hours and rentals, see our Nad Al Sheba Cycle Park guide; the old “Meydan cycle track” name is explained on our Meydan page.
