The Master Bike Builders Show (MBBS) concluded its second year in Bentonville, Arkansas, on September 14th and 15th, leaving both exhibitors and attendees with positive experiences. Held in a prime location for mountain and gravel biking enthusiasts, the show attracted custom frame builders from across the country to showcase their unique and innovative creations.
The MBBS provided a platform for established and up-and-coming builders, with some even unveiling brand-new products at the event. Estimates suggest nearly 800 visitors passed through the show over the weekend. The venue’s proximity to trailheads and just blocks from Bentonville’s bustling town square, with its shops, restaurants, and cafes popular with cyclists, ensured a steady stream of interested visitors.
Exhibitors at the grassroots show praised the quality interactions they had with Bentonville’s knowledgeable and passionate cycling community. “The success of this show is only just beginning,” said show producer Sergio Bravo. “We never intend to be huge, but rather, we want to provide each exhibitor with a quality experience that helps them gain meaningful connections with the bike-savvy audience“
Looking ahead, the MBBS will shift to a later date in September next year to coincide with new activations and collaborations. Organizers are already working on exciting plans for the future.
