ROUGH CRAFTS HYPERMOTARD
Hypermotard’s updated design.
Kingsman Seat executed the
neatly stitched seat pad up top,
while lower down, the Ducati’s
subframe was rebuilt to accommodate
the new tail.
There’s so much to fawn
over on this build. Rough Crafts
and CNC Racing collaborated
to create two special edition
parts: a hydraulic clutch slave
and a brake lever protector.
There’s also a clear clutch cover
from Ducabike, and a front
sprocket cover from Rizoma.
The new fuel cap is a Rough
Crafts catalogue part, while the
custom tank badges are from
a Taiwanese artisan called 2
Abnormal Sides.
Up in the cockpit you’ll
find CNC Racing bars, Beringer
controls and Motogadget grips.
The stock speedo is still in play,
but it’s been moved to just in
front of the fuel tank. There’s a
flat track-style shroud up front,
with twin Koso lights embedded
in it, and Rizoma indicators at
both ends. Lower down, Rough
Crafts installed AEM Factory
foot controls, and a quickshifter
from Cordona.
The Hypermotard’s new
exhaust system is equally
eye-catching. It consists of piecut
titanium headers, expertly
put together by Tron Racing,
along with a titanium SC Project
S1 muffler.
Winston roped in Ameuro
Motors to handle final assembly,
and Air Runner Custom Paint
to tackle the Hypermotard’s
new paint job. And it’s a stunner
too—full of carbon-esque
finishes, textured gold striping,
and even finer silver pin stripe
detailing.
Nine out of ten times, we’d
say that attempting to customise
a Ducati Hypermotard is
probably a bad idea. But, as Winston
has proved time and time
again, Rough Crafts operates on
another level. Equal parts bad
ass and innovative, this Hypermotard
is a worthy addition into
his ever-expanding portfolio—
and one of the sweetest Ducati
customs we’ve seen.
