BESPOKED Heads to Japan for 2026

Europe’s biggest handbuilt bike show is heading to Japan next year! In September 2026, BESPOKED will debut in Asia with a show in Osaka, Japan, a city long regarded as a hub of bicycle and component manufacturing, mental fabrication, and craft.

Speaking to their decision to host the show in Osaka, the show’s organizers wrote, “Osaka sits at the heart of Japan’s bicycle manufacturing heritage. From the precision of NJS-certified Keirin builders, whose frames carried world champions, to contemporary builders, the region has a reputation for uncompromising quality and innovation. Today, that tradition continues through apprenticeships and the next generation of builders carrying the craft forward.”

Cultural exchange between the builders behind Japan’s vibrant handmade scene and international builders from other corners of the globe will be at the heart of the event, offering Japanese makers an opportunity to showcase their work with new audiences and affording global exhibitors a chance to learn from Japan’s unique approach to craftsmanship and design.

The official show dates have yet to be announced, but builders can register their interest to receive updates on BESPOKED Osaka 2026 and have access to early-bird registration rates here.
