Austin, TX (March 26, 2025) – One of the boldest custom collaborations of the year is about to hit the big screen. CFMoto USA and Roland Sands Design (RSD) are bringing the Vandal, a small-displacement, high-adrenaline supermoto stunt machine based on the Ibex 450 adventure bike to the legendary Handbuilt Motorcycle Show in Austin, Texas.

The Vandal is about inspiring development in riding through creativity and breaking conventions—a perfect fit for the Handbuilt Show. This isn’t just a custom bike—it’s a bold departure from RSD’s typical builds. It’s not just a showpiece—it’s a statement.

Handbuilt 2025 will host the Vandal’s official film debut, with RSD’s cinematic stunt-video screening live at the CFMoto stage all weekend. Packed with technical urban shredding, LA moto style, and the raw energy of supermoto culture, the film drops online on CFMoto USA’s YouTube channel on March 26, giving riders worldwide a front-row seat to the digital release.

Why This Build? Why Now?

The Vandal, originally revealed on the Gymkhana race course at RSD’s 2024 Moto Beach Classic, transforms the Ibex 450 from a lightweight ADV bike into an urban supermoto weapon. It challenges norms, using CFMoto sport parts and easily sourced aftermarket components, making it an approachable, high-performance inspirational build for riders looking to customize their own machines.

“We took inspiration from street skating and BMX and mixed it with tight urban supermoto riding,” said Roland Sands. “The Vandal is built to send it—pure fun, style, and pushing limits.”

The Handbuilt Motorcycle Show: A Celebration of Craftsmanship

The Handbuilt Motorcycle Show, held during MotoGP weekend in Austin March 28-30, is one of the world’s premier custom motorcycle showcases. Hosted by Revival Cycles, it draws 25,000+ attendees, featuring 150+ hand-built motorcycles, custom cars, and live exhibits.

“We’re thrilled to host the live debut of this film at the Handbuilt Show—a celebration of craftsmanship, creativity, and the passion that fuels custom motorcycles. Pairing a film with a custom build deepens the story, revealing the artistry and people behind the machine. This is more than motorcycles; it’s culture, connection, and pushing boundaries. We can’t wait to share it with the community.” — Alan Stulberg, Handbuilt Show | Revival Cycles
