2026 California Superbike School dates and details
Levels 1-3 have preset syllabus and drills, Level 4 provides more nuanced, personalised training
Usually, CSS is held in two batches over successive weekends, but for 2026, the two batches will be conducted in quick succession. The first batch will be conducted from February 13-15, followed almost immediately by the second from 17-19. The school offers two distinct levels of training: Level 1, 2 and 3, and a separate course for Level 4. The fees for the former curriculum are set at Rs 85,000, while for the latter, the school charges Rs 1.40 lakh. This includes GST, meals and unlimited high-octane fuel if you take a big bike that consumes a lot of it. For those who don’t have a motorcycle or those who don’t want to take their personal bike, CSS does offer bikes on a first-come, first-served basis.
The California Superbike School is widely regarded as one of the most revered institutions for motorcycle riding education worldwide. Levels 1-3 have a preset syllabus, and each coach oversees a group of three students through various drills conducted over the three days. Level 4 is far more nuanced, and there, one on-track coach is assigned to one person, with the goal of targeting the individual’s strengths and weaknesses. You can only sign up for Level 4 if you’ve done Levels 1 through 3 before.
