Anything related to Ducati always comes with a hefty pricetag. So when a custom builder like Revival Cycles chose to worked on a Ducati Monster 1100, you know it’s going to turned out epic while also eat out much of their budget.
- the Fuse is built from Ducati’s Monster 1100 engine.
- features custom frame, handlebars and tank.
For starters, Revival Cycles is a custom shop based out of Austin, Texas and co-founded by Alan Stulberg and Stefan Hertel in 2008. The company has some of the most beautiful custom motorcycle ever made. Just drop by their website and you’ll understand what we meant.
However, among the lot, perhaps the most beautiful machine they’ve built is the custom Ducati 1100 Fuse.
A part from an engine taken out of the Monster 1100, everything else, including the stainless steel frame is completely custom. Also, the swingarm, was fabricated out of a solid block of aluminium. Just imagine the hours they’ve put into creating the perfect component.
According to the company, the exposed stainless steel tubes were designed not just as the bike’s foundation but also to act as the focal point of the overall design.
Revival Cycles also mounted a one-piece handlebar to create a clean cockpit while integrating the clutch and brake reservoir into the bar itself. Leather grips is fitted to complete the classic touch.
While the bike’s in its entirety is custom, the one-piece tank, seat and tail assembly still brings out the Ducati design language, further enhanced by the red paint. Meanwhile, to ensure the bike’s in running state, Revival Cycles also reworked the entire electrical system.
Last but not least, the Fuse pumps out 120hp from the Ducati Monster 1100 engine making it quite a powerful machine.
The best part is, Revival Cycles claimed that the estimated cost to built the Fuse is around USD500,000 (RM2.2mil).
