Ducati Scrambler's True Glory Shown by Vibrazioni Art Design

This weekend, Ducati introduced the SC-Rumble at the Bike Shed event in the British capital, London. A project for which Ducati teamed up with Pirelli and Vibrazioni Art Design to deliver the most spectacular interpretation of the all-new Scrambler we saw until now.

And if you want one extra reason to gasp, we should also tell you that Vibrazioni Art Design, though operating in the design field, are specialized in interior design and not in motorcycles. As they define their work, Vibrazioni are skilled in "working with metal sheet recycled from industrial bins of chemical, petrochemical and food companies, then hand worked and inspired by old school craftsmanship."

Scrambler looks, Mad Max looks, custom looks, you've got them all

Pirelli has been working closely with Ducati and delivered the MT 60 RS tires that show every Scrambler bike. The SC-Rumble is a one-off creation aimed at showing the world how tight the bond between the two Italian brands is.

And since Vibrazioni Art Design deals with recycled materials, seeing them embedded in the final build is only natural. The donor Scrambler got a thorough reworking and received multiple artsy touches. Of them, the most prominent two are the tall, reshaped tank with rubber pads and the Land of Joy flag attached to the forks.

The rubber tank pads were laser-etched and received a pattern that matches that of the tires' tread. The rear subframe was shortened and all the original bodywork was replaced with a monocoque structure made from sheet metal recycled from industrial bins.

Vibrazioni hand-hammered everything into shape and crafted a new body for the SC-Rumble, retaining, however, the original color scheme. Everything was covered with a coat of clear shiny varnish to preserve the shine and add smoothness to the bike.

The front and side panels are made from hand-shaped aluminium, while the exhaust mimics the Termignoni one, even though it is also a handmade unit. Cue a special-design rear shock absorber and Ducati Streetfighter handlebars for a completely different stance.

The SC-Rumble will tour extensively this year and will be present in all major shows.
