Our story
Who are we?
MTB Evolution Cycling Club (BK MTB Evolution) was officially founded in 2023 and is listed in the APIF register of associations, with its seat in Istočna Ilidža (Vojkovići), East Sarajevo.
Our story began much earlier, in 2019, when we started bringing mountain bike enthusiasts together as an informal group under the name MTB Evolution. Our mission has stayed the same: promoting mountain biking, organizing MTB marathons, building trails, and teaching young riders about safe riding and nature conservation.
