FIM X-Trial World Championship at the Tarraco Arena, April 18, 2026

Catalonia, the trial capital of the world

Trial 2026 has a Catalan stamp. Two names stand out on the international scene: Berta Abellán, the new women's world champion, and Toni Bou, the legend who continues to add titles in the X-Trial modality.

The tradition of trial in Catalonia, with decades of international dominance, will be more intense than ever on April 18, 2026 at the Tarraco Arena, venue of the FIM X-Trial World Championship 2026. There, all the spotlights will be on Toni Bou, who will compete in front of his home crowd in search of extending his historic record.

Berta Abellán: the new queen of Trial 2026

At the age of 25, Berta Abellán was proclaimed TrialGP Women's World Champion in 2025, picking up the baton from Laia Sanz, a pioneer with 14 world titles.

Abellán has revolutionized women's trial with her technique, courage and perseverance, becoming a reference for the new generations. Although she does not compete in the indoor X-Trial modality, her triumph symbolizes the strength of Catalan trial in this Trial 2026, where Catalonia is once again leading in both the men's and women's categories.

Toni Bou: the eternal X-Trial legend

The great protagonist of the FIM X-Trial World Championship 2026 in Tarragona will be Toni Bou. The rider from Piera (Barcelona) is undoubtedly the best in the history of trial. His track record is impressive:

19 Outdoor TrialGP World Championships (2007-2025, all consecutive)
19 Indoor Trial/X-Trial World Championships (2007-2025, all consecutive)
11 Spanish Trial Championships
10 Spanish Indoor Trial Championships
19 victories in the Trial of Nations
11 titles in the Indoor Trials of Nations
1 European Championship (2003)

With 38 individual world titles, Bou has elevated X-Trial to another level. His technical style, perfect balance and ability to concentrate make him an idol for millions of fans.

On April 18, 2026, the Tarraco Arena will witness his quest for a new world title, with the warmth of a Catalan public that considers him a true hero.

Catalonia, cradle of champions

Catalonia does not only have Bou and Abellán. The trial tradition of this land is explained by an ideal geography for training, a deeply rooted motorcycle culture and historic clubs that have forged generations of champions.

Names like Adam Raga, Albert Cabestany or Laia Sanz herself complete an unrepeatable legacy that confirms Catalonia as an indisputable reference in world trial.
