Another year is almost over, but there?s no sign of the custom scene losing pace. Exciting new shops are springing up all over the world, as the heavy hitters establish their positions.
Here?s our annual roundup of Bike EXIF?s biggest hits?the 2016 Bikes Of The Year. As always, this list is based on data, not our own opinions. We?ve generated it based on page views, incoming links, and social media data, weighted according to how long ago the bike was featured. When positions have been too close to call, based on numeric data, we?ve factored in the number and sentiment of comments.
There are some interesting take-outs to be had from this year?s crop. Last year, the scrambler vibe was dominant: This year, it?s faded away. There?s still the occasional chunky tire, but readers are looking elsewhere for their thrills. (There?s no pipewrap, either.) BMW has been the marque du jour for builders this year, and that?s reflected in the results. Congratulations to the builders who made the list.

10. Revival BMW Landspeeder Most successful builders have a signature style, but you never know what you?re going to get from Revival Cycles. ?Landspeeder? was inspired by Ernst Henne?s 1928 BMW R37 racer, transplanting the ?aero? vibe to a custom chassis crafted from flat-cut rather than tubular steel. Revival even designed a modern version of Henne?s classic trailing link front suspension. Skillz.
