The Sturgis Buffalo Chip’s Top Builder Competition Offers Instant Stardom

This competition, presented by Adventure Power and Kinetik, is a one-of-a-kind competition. Bikes compete through an online competition, with the top vote-getters showcasing their work at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip during this year's 74th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.





The Sturgis Buffalo Chip will host its first Top Builder Competition this year. This competition, presented by Adventure Power and Kinetik, is a one-of-a-kind competition. Bikes compete through an online competition, with the top vote-getters showcasing their work at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip during this year’s 74th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Winning builders will earn a place in the ranks of world-wide bike building superstars, along with cash and trophies, as well as being the face of the Buffalo Chip’s, Adventure Power’s and Kinetik’s 2015 marketing campaign promoting the contest.

Participating builders need only to register and enter their bikes at BuffaloChip.com or partner sites, APBatteries.com and KinetikAudio.com, to be part of the Top Builder Competition. This online portion of voting goes through July 1. From there, a combination of fan votes and motorcycle industry veterans will narrow down the online entrants, with the top builders and their bikes slated to show off their creations at the Buffalo Chip’s CrossRoads on Tuesday, Aug. 5. 

The competition hosts six classes including Kinetik’s special “Pro Audio” class for bikes outfitted with high output sound systems. Cash prizes, trophies and industry perks will be handed out to the winners in each category, in addition to the Top Builder grand prize, which includes being the face of the 2015 Top Builder marketing campaign.

“The collaboration of Kinetik and Adventure Power with the Buffalo Chip for the very first Top Builder Competition creates an incredible global arena that will highlight the best of breed custom bikes for the next generation. We are very excited with being a part of this high profile competition and are looking forward to seeing the submissions and of course, the ultimate winners,” says Ian Edmonds, President & CEO of Universal Power Group, the company behind Kinetik and Adventure Power.
