Honda X-ADV The Deus Cub Cubed by Deus Ex Machina

.  

Deus Milano, in Italy, displayed their customized Honda X-ADV called the ‘Deus Cubed3’ or ‘Cub Cubed’ that paid homage to the 90s favourite, the Cub EZ 90, at EICMA

The Deus Ex Machina Honda EZ90 Cub Cubed, is much more than a modified version of the famous Honda Cub.  It is somehwere between a scooter and a dirtbike.

Here is a brief description as published on deuscustoms.com

We don’t usually get inspiration from looks from the past, but with the Honda X-ADV as a starting point we got our ideas straight away. This sophisticated, powerful studded scooter brought the 1990’s to mind, when another Honda scooter wowed with its freshness and lines. This too was studded and out of the ordinary: the Cub EZ 90. In some ways it was almost a toy, and so we decided to “play” too, creating the Deus Cub3: a Cub cubed.


Creating the structure which faithfully copies the original lines but in XXL format, took hundreds of hours of hard work, beginning with the construction of a model from which the moulds for the carbon fibre fairings were made.

Collaboration with some excellent partners has been very valuable. Kaos Design helped with the definition of the model as well as the finishing touches and fairing colour schemes; Pirelli developed a new size of the excellent Scorpion Rally STR knobbed tyres; SC Project created the small and lighter exhaust which gives the bike a racing feel.
