Event Gallery: Lyon Kustom Factory 2026

The annual Salon du 2 Roues (“Two-Wheeled Show”) is France’s largest motorcycle show, covering 150,000 square meters (1.6 million square feet!) of Lyon’s massive Eurexpo convention center and attracting some 160,000 visitors. That makes it one of the largest motorcycle events in the world. All the major manufacturers (BMW, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati, etc.) attend, and many companies use the event as a launchpad for their new models, product lines, accessories, innovations, and more.

For us, the main attraction is “Lyon Kustom Factory,” a custom bike exhibition organized by Franck Gailly of the Hangar Zéro 1 Motor Festival. Nearly 100,000 square-feet of space was dedicated to this part of the show, spanning ten exhibition halls.

Our friend Tom Boissel of RAGE / Cus’Tom Motorcycle was one of the invited builders and offered to act as our photographer and correspondent for this year’s show.

Tom’s latest build. Feature coming soon!

From Tom: All styles of motorcycles were represented, whether professional or amateur (a large competition was open to all categories). There were stands from official customizers, as well as from groups of enthusiasts, mechanics, and also clothing designers, painters, and accessory makers.

For the numbers:

Nearly 120 motorcycles registered for the “Lyon Kustom Factory” contest
Nearly 17 motorcycles previewed with a press unveiling Wednesday evening at 8 PM
All styles represented
10 exhibitions
9000m² dedicated to custom motorcycles
The two most awarded motorcycles came from Sturgis, USA
European Bikeshow (Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Belgian, Swiss, Dutch)

All this in a very friendly atmosphere (with various aperitifs and festive music at different stands in the evening after the show closes to visitors). There were numerous interviews and presentations on the official stages over the four days, hosted by the very pleasant announcer Pauline Elvis (pictured).

Below you’ll find more of Tom’s photographs from the show. Be sure to give Tom a follow on his Instagram (@custom_motorcycle_tom_boissel), and we look forward to featuring his newest custom build very soon!
