What started out as a small exhibit held in Tiendesitas back in 2015, Moto Builds Pilipinas has always been the place where music, artistry, and the passion for motorcycles come together.

MBP attendees were treated to a visual feast of the best creations by our local custom builders.

This year’s Grand Battle theme aimed to ramp up the competition among the country’s best custom motorcycle builders. The annual event puts a spotlight on the craftsmanship and talent within the growing Filipino custom bike community.

Over 100 entries were on display at the Filinvest Tent in Alabang: big bikes, café racers, and scooters, all sporting some of the most unique, exceptional, and even out-of-this-world details.

One of the event’s main highlights was the “BSA Motorcycle Bike Build-Off,” which awarded first place to one of the country’s leading custom shops, Iron Macchina Customs.

Learning about each entry from some of the builders themselves created a more interactive atmosphere, along with the bikes on display at an approachable eye level.

Live rock bands performed to keep the excitement going for the two-day event, bringing back the concept of music and custom bikes going hand-in-hand.
