In a show full of classics, Revival Cycles stood out with one of the craziest custom builds I’ve seen in years. It’s a tribute to sidecarcross based on a Ducati ST4, and it’s named Odioso (Italian for “obnoxious.”
Interestingly, it was actually built as part of a giveaway contest organized by Rebel Yell bourbon. Starting with a ST4, the team was able to cut out 140 pounds of weight and then beefed up the suspension with an Ohlins shock in the rear and 48mm WP forks from a KTM up front. The sidecar weighs approximately 100 pounds. Head on over to the Revival site for more pictures of the build process.
If you’re going to Austin this year for MotoGP, I better see you at Revival’s contribution to one of the best motorcycling weekends in the US – the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show!
