Ducati Scrambler "Hero1" by Holographic Hammer

Approached by Ducati and French magazine Moto Heroes, brothers Sylvain and Florent Berneron built this Ducati Scrambler "Hero1" and launched just in time for Wheels and Waves.

Sylvain Berneron said:

The question was then, what should we do with it? We had a few rides on the Scrambler while we were still discussing the project, the bike handles really well and is very fun to ride, but for us a Scrambler is a bike you want to live with. I mean youâ€™ll scratch it, go through mud and dirt, even lose the front here and there and fall over, so if you want to spend money on it, it will most probably be to change tires and brake pads to keep the fun coming. We didnâ€™t feel like putting all our parts and labour into a bike of that design because it would make it too shiny for what it's purpose really is. So, from that point, it was clear that we would turn the Scrambler into something else, something faster and cleaner.

Being road people they naturally fell on the classic cafe racer, just packed with modern technology. Sylvain explains that the decision was fairly simple "When I was doing my research, I noticed that a lot of the original 1962 Scramblers ended up being cafÃ© racers back then, the bike was so light that you could brake very late and turn quick.â€ He wanted to build a proper Cafe Racer for Ducati, saying "the Monster is now liquid cooled and became a high performance roadster over the years. If you look for an old school engine, something strong and simple in 2015 there is not so many bikes to choose from."
