A superlight Scrambler Ducati from Rough Crafts
The Scrambler has been a huge sales hit for Ducati, accounting for about a quarter of all Ducatis registered worldwide. It?s also attracted the attention of the world?s top customizers, with tantalizing builds from Krugger, Holographic Hammer, Untitled and Marcus Walz.
Now it?s the turn of Rough Crafts? Winston Yeah, and this might just be our favorite Scrambler custom yet. With a sprinkling of performance upgrades and lightweight parts, ?Jab Launcher? is proof of the old racer?s adage: ?add lightness.?
?This build was for a good friend who always liked Ducatis,? says Winston. ?He?s into sporty street bikes, but something like a Panigale is too much because he never sees himself going to a race track.?
The plan was simple: make the already compact 2016-spec Scrambler Ducati Icon even lighter, cleaner, and tougher.
The first job was to install beefy Marzocchi forks from a Panigale 1199, with the outer tubes blacked out in the classic Rough Crafts style. They?re hooked up with triple clamps from CNC Racing, and there?s a Gears Racing H2+ shock to keep the back end under control.
Power now runs through an AEM Factory sprocket and a pair of 17-inch carbon BST wheels now supplement the top-shelf suspension: 3.5 inches at the front, and a chunky 6 inches at the back. (?BST wheels are a no- brainer.?) The rubber is Pirelli?s super-sticky Rosso Corsa pattern.
To add to the racy look, Winston?s also fitted a Monster 1100 single-sided swingarm. It was a relatively easy fit?...
