Straight from Great Malvern: Turbos, Big Bores, Drag Bikes, and More…
Earlier this month, the 33rd Kickback Custom Classic Bike Show took place at the Three Counties Showground in Great Malvern, UK. The 2026 event sprawled across six indoor event halls, and featured hundreds of cafe racers, choppers, bobbers, scramblers, flat trackers, restomods, classic gems, high-performance specials, drag bikes, and “butchered classics,” as well as a selection of hot rods, custom cars, and vintage trucks.
Sponsored by Oily Rag Co., the 2026 Kickback show also featured the Ken Fox Hell Riders on their Wall of Death, as well as a massive new indoor biker restaurant and bar, countless gear vendors, and demo rides.
Of course, we were most interested in seeing what bikes were on display, and the show didn’t disappoint. We were fortunate to have our man Roberto Garagarza (@roga______) on the ground, who came back with 900+ photographs from the event! Given the range of styles and sheer multitude of bikes in attendance, we’re dividing up our coverage into segments based loosely on different genres of bikes.
The UK has always had a strong affinity for big-bore muscle bikes, forced induction, and streetfighters, and a strong coterie of these high-powered builds were on display at the show…so we’re starting there first. Please note that most of the bikes did not have information placards, and we’ve offered photographs of the info when available. You can click on the gallery images to expand them to full size.
