CFMOTO and Roland Sands have collaborated to create a custom bike based on the Ibex 450, and a film featuring the bike will premiere live on March 28 at the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show. The Ibex 450 Vandal is described by CFMOTO as a “small-displacement, high-adrenaline supermoto stunt machine.”
The Ibex 450 Vandal was originally revealed at the Gymkhana race course at RSD’s 2024 Moto Beach Classic last fall. Its canvas, the CFMOTO Ibex 450, entered the market for model-year 2025 as a lightweight, fully capable, and affordable adventure bike. This feature-rich ADV has an MSRP of $6,499, saving customers spending money to experiment with customization and personalization, which the Vandal demonstrates.
“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.”
A film featuring the Vandal will premiere at the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show in Austin, Texas, on March 28. Hosted by Revival Cycles, Handbuilt is held during the MotoGP weekend in Austin and draws more than 25,000 attendees to come and enjoy hand-built motorcycles, custom cars, and live exhibits. This year’s show will also feature the Ives Brothers’ Wall of Death, Red Bull stunt rider Aaron Colton, and live motorcycle paintings by Makoto Endo.
For those who won’t be attending the Handbuilt show, the film will be available on CFMOTO’s YouTube page from March 26-28. At the show, attendees can enjoy RSD’s stunt video screening at the CFMOTO stage throughout the weekend.
“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.”
