BMW R nineT Cobra by Hookie

.  

This Is The Custom BMW R NineT Cobra that is based on a 2020 BMW R NineT. Hookie took its neo-classic feel and brought it forward in time just a bit. All those swooping, rounded lines are more angular, with a bit of a café racer flair, except it’s now thoroughly modern. In total, Hookie will make just 10 Cobras, each one with its own distinct colorway.

The shop’s process makes extensive use of 3D printing to build its components. First, they do rough sketches on paper before moving on to clay models. From there, it’s on to CAD and final refinements before 3D printing. That gives the team ample opportunities to work out any necessary adjustments along the way.

Hookie uses fiberglass-reinforced PA12 material to form its parts. Industrial manufacturer Fast Radius wrote, “PA 12 (also known as Nylon 12) is a good general-use plastic with broad additive applications and is known for its toughness, tensile strength, impact strength and ability to flex without fracture.” It’s commonly used for injection molding as a result.
