Ducati SC-Rumble

Ducati SC-Rumble in conjunction with Pirelli and Vibrazioni Art Design

Fellow countrymen Ducati and Pirelli have tapped Vibrazioni Art Design, typically known for its bespoke furniture, to collaborate on a special edition Italian scrambler. Dubbed the SC-Rumble, the specially made motorcycle comes equipped with Pirelli's MT 60 RS tires and sees a bevy of alterations throughout everything from a shortened chassis, a monocoque shaped and handcrafted from recycled industrial bins, an aluminum windshield and an added smoke headlight housing a ring of LEDs as a nod to the flagship scrambler series. Additional touches include hand-painted and laser-engraved nitrile rubber accents on the custom tank emphasizing the tread pattern of the Pirellis, a made-to-measure rear shock, an extended wheelbase, a set of Ducati Street Fighter handlebars and a glossy transparent polyurethane finish.

Vibrazioni Art Design maintained the general Scrambler theme, while giving the bike more warlike personality and a partiality for dusty, dirt roads.  The SC-Rumble� keeps the factory equipment Pirelli MT 60 RS tires mounted on solid wheels. The factory frame was shortened at the rear and all the original superstructures were removed in favor of a monocoque frame made from recycled industrial sheet metal bins, hand hammered and shaped maintaining the original colors. The monocoque frame was then painted with a glossy finish polyurethane clearcoat in order to accentuate its shine and to give the surface a look which is smooth to the touch.

At the rear, there's a modified shock absorber with a lengthened center-to-center distance, made to measure. The factory handlebar was replaced with one from the Ducati Streetfighter. The decorations on one side of the tank have the words Ducati Scrambler hand painted and on the other they emphasize the texture of the Pirelli MT 60 RS tire tread pattern, laser inscribed on nitride rubber and applied within the body of the tank itself.
