European Biker Build Off 2024 – it’s hard to believe that it’s already in its 17th round this year! As always, the CUSTOMBIKE show in Bad Salzuflen offers the perfect backdrop for this legendary conversion competition. Two teams of four mechanics each will compete live against each other for three days on their own stage in the center of Hall 20. On Sunday the audience will choose the winner.
Germany's Florian Pfante vs. Poland's Kornel Krasicky
Florian Pfante and his team compete for Germany. For five years he has been the head behind the traditional custom workshop USM Motorcycles, which can look back on over 40 years of history. Florian quickly developed his own style and as an Indian dealer he not only supplies the scene with bikes, but also with everything that goes with them. His last Chicano conversion based on an Indian Chief thrilled many fans - and this time Florian wants to go one better. The basis is a brand new Indian Scout; He doesn't reveal anything else and keeps the tension high.
Two countries, two brands – who builds the most spectacular bike?
New in the history of the BBO is also a Polish team at the start: Kornel Krasicky from Vhard Motorworks is competing against Florian this year. Kornel should by no means be underestimated. Within a very short time, he established his custom manufacturer Vhard as a permanent name in the scene. The company focuses on hand-built parts and Harley conversions. For the BBO it is clear: Harley meets Indian, Germany meets Poland - it will be exciting!
In the end, the audience decides whether to win or lose
The starting signal will be fired on November 29, 2024 at 12 p.m. on the main stage. Then the opponents pull the cloths from their frames and get started. They have two and a half days to convince the audience of their skills. Viewers will watch live as two individual custom bikes are created. And on Sunday, December 1st, 2024, shortly after 2 p.m., the audience will decide who can celebrate as European Biker Build-Off Champion 2024.
