THE EVENT

Celebrating Africa’s highest winner-takes-all custom motorcycle building challenge, The Lightning Bolt has been confirmed for the 11th & 12th of November 2022 taking place on Shortmarket Street, Cape Town, South Africa.

The one-of-a-kind event is enhanced by our flagship dealer network, riders’ groups and local provisioners, and supported by our lifestyle partners. Complementing it all is a full music programme, excellent hospitality services, and entertainment that will run throughout the day and well into the night.

A panel of judges, led by an international guest judge from The Golden Bolt, will judge this unique motorcycle build competition.

The final prize is R250.000 winner-takes-all. Never on this continent has prize money of this size been awarded for a custom motorcycle build.
