to convey the strong bond between ducati and pirelli, the two italian companies decide to collaborate on an artistic motorcycle with vibrazioni art design.
the result is dubbed the ‘SC-rumble’, a specially made, drastically
altered ducati ‘scrambler’ that is equipped with pirelli ‘MT 60 RS’
tires. the stock chassis was shortened in the back and all the
original lids were removed in favor of a monocoque made of sheets
recovered from industrial bins, which were hammered and shaped by hand.
the shell was then coated with a transparent polyurethane gloss,
finished to accentuate the shine and give the surface a smooth touch.
the windshield, similar to the side panels, was made from aluminum and
was wrought by hand as well, with an added smoke headlight that houses a
circular LED light influenced by the flagship ducati ‘scrambler’
series. the accents on the tank were hand-painted,
laser-engraved nitrile rubber that emphasizes the texture of the tread
pattern of the pirelli tires. the settings on the bike were
changed with an adoption of a made to measure rear shock, a stretched
wheelbase and to give it a more reactive feel the handlebar was replaced
from a ducati ‘street fighter’. ’SC-rumble’ vibrazioni art design was
presented at the bike shed in london, where the public can see it on may 23 to may 24, 2015.
