Premise of the Show[edit]
Two reputed custom motorcycle builders from different parts of the country—usually with very different styles of building—each build a unique custom bike in their respective style, pitting their teams and expertise against each other to see who is the better builder.
Format[edit]
Biker Build-Off was originally an irregularly-grouped series (termed 'rounds') of contests that spanned a calendar year. The original Great Biker Build-Off was a single competition. In 2003, the second round had three contests, and the third round (2004) had six. In 2005, the program was turned into a regular series in which each round would feature a total of 13 contests each. There has also been a World Biker Build-Off special (pitting three international bikers) in 2004.
The rules[edit]
Various aspects of the rules have evolved over the course of the series. When the show became a regular series, the current rules of the Biker Build-Off were defined as follows:
1. Each builder has 10 days to build a working custom motorcycle in his or her respective style.
2. Upon completion, the two builders bring their bikes to a mutually-agreed neutral location.
3. When they meet, the two builders and their teams will begin a lengthy ride to a bike show.
4. At the bike show, the two bikes will be showcased and a winner decided by an audience ballot.
