Sea Otter is coming Mogo, Australia, and AMB is stoked to be the official media partner for Sea Otter Australia 2025. From 24–26 October in Batemans Bay, NSW, this first-ever Aussie edition of the iconic cycling festival will bring together racing, riding, industry, and good times in one massive weekend. Here’s what you need to know.
Sea Otter Expo
At the heart of Sea Otter is the expo village, a showcase of the latest bikes, gear, tech, and apparel from brands big and small. You can expect global heavyweights alongside local Aussie brands, with plenty of demos, product launches, and hands on experiences. If you want to see what’s happening in mountain biking tech, Sea Otter’s Expo is the place to be.
Sea Otter Australia Summit
Running alongside the festival is the Sea Otter Trade Summit, a dedicated space for the bike industry to connect. You can expect panel sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities focused on the big issues: e-mobility, sustainability, trail development, and the future of cycling in Australia. For retailers, distributors, and industry insiders, it’s a rare chance to have global conversations on home soil.
