KTM 950R Uber Custom by REV'IT

KTM 950 Adventure (2014) Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey, United States of America

Finding the sweetness between a Super Enduro and an Adventure

Image you get hooked up with a brand new KTM 950R with the privilege to tear it apart and customize it to perfect hell. Who'd you add to the team and what would you change to create the perfect, ultimate all-wheel drive adventure motorcycle?

__REV'IT__the adventure gear company, is doing just that to celebrate the company's 20th anniversary.

The team is made up of a good mix of the who's-who of the east-coast motorcycle design scene.

Engineer and master motorcycle maker, Chris Cosentino, will work his magic to make the super enduro lighter and skinnier. Cosentino turned the first KTM 990 into an all wheel drive and will lead the engineering effort from his shop in New Jersey where the project will live.

Scott Kolbis is one of the world’s best fabricators and a land speed record holder at Bonneville, read: design-for-speed-guy.

Gregor Halenda is a photographer who's worked the top motorcycle design companies; his style is surreal.

Tommy Liggett and Gerbrandt Aarts, creative director at REV’IT round out the team with undoubtably good taste in motorcycles and gear.

Breaking it down before creating it, the guys start by disassembly and classification of all the parts and pieces. Every part will be considered for the transformation: reused, thrown out and modified. Iterations will be drawn before metal is cut all in the pursuit of the ultimate ADV motorcycle. We'll follow the journey as it develops.

That's not a motorcycle I could have thought could be improved that much...
