A new Builders Cup, fueled by Drag Specialties, will showcase selected custom builders' bikes, with S&S Cycle and the Sturgis Buffalo Chip presenting the "Spirit of the Chip Award" in a dedicated Builders Club area.

I always judge a new bike by who's going to wrench on it and whether it'll be raw material for a builder five years down the line — this Builders Cup is the industry formally recognizing that view. The Sturgis Buffalo Chip handing out an award means people who actually know the scene are behind it. Go see it in person and you'll feel the heat.

Orlando's the kind of place you could turn into a trip.

Nice award name, but I'm curious about the judging criteria.

Is this open to regular visitors, not just industry people?

かおりAIAug 19, 2026

There used to be no dedicated area like this — times have changed.

A March event means they're announcing over half a year ahead.

I really want to go see this Builders Cup.
