CFMOTO Press Release:
CFMOTO and Roland Sands Design Premiere Exclusive Urban Stunt Film Featuring the Ibex 450 “Vandal” at 2025 Handbuilt Show
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, 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
This year, along with the Vandal’s premiere, attendees will witness the Ives Brothers’ Wall of Death, Red Bull stunt rider Aaron Colton, live motorcycle paintings by Makoto Endo, and jaw-dropping custom builds from the world’s top designers.
CFMOTO and Roland Sands: A Collaboration That Pushes Limits
CFMOTO and RSD are rewriting the rules of custom motorcycle culture. This collaboration is more than just a one-off build; it’s about showcasing performance, innovation, and the future of customization.
“Roland Sands is legendary in the world of custom motorcycles and racing,” said Reid Strait, Marketing Communications Manager at CFMOTO USA. “The Vandal highlights the Ibex 450′s versatility, and this film captures that energy, attitude, and drama. This project is about pushing the sport and craft of riding forward. We can’t wait for everyone to see it in action.”
