Born on October 17, 1986, and resident of La Massana (Andorra), Toni Bou’s career as a rider began with bicycle trial when he was eight years old. After winning the world championship in this category in 1999, Bou switched to motorcycle trial riding.
Once immersed in the motorcycle trial discipline, the rider began to amass titles. In 2001 he was crowned Spanish Junior Champion; followed shortly after by the European 250cc Cup, and was the most promising rookie in 2002. In 2003, he claimed victory in the European Championship. Later, in 2005, the rider formed part of the team that triumphed in the Trial de Nations, was runner-up in the Spanish Indoor Trial Championship, and finished fifth in the Trial World Outdoor Championship.
The following year Bou rode to his first victories at the highest level, in both indoor (third in World Championship) and outdoor, where once again he finished in fifth overall place. Bou signed up to the ranks of Repsol Montesa Honda for the 2007 season, and immediately imposed himself on the Trial Indoor World Championship. Aboard the Montesa Cota 4RT, Toni Bou won four of the eight disputed events in the indoor calendar. This great performance placed him among the favourites to win the Trial World Outdoor Championship, where he likewise stamped his authority on the event with an imposing nine out of eleven possible wins. The Repsol rider then polished off the year by taking the Spanish Indoor Trial Championship for the third consecutive time, and as a member of the Spanish national team in the Trial de Nations.
Since these first World Titles in 2007, there has been no stopping the legend that is Toni Bou. He has systemically redefined the meaning of success in both Indoor and Outdoor Trial competition, proving to be an unstoppable force. As the Spaniard goes into the 2026 TrialGP season, he has racked up 39 World Trial Titles (20 Indoor and 19 Outdoor).
