Unstoppable super-builder Jose “Pepo” Rosell delivers another radical machine based on a 2003 Ducati Monster. If you’ve seen Pepo’s other works, you can recognize his work in a split second. This bike is called “Pata Negra” and is a bike built for endurance racing and has written “performance” all over it. Pata Negra (which means “black hoof”) refers to the exclusive Spanish ham. Eating this ham is often called an experience for life, just as driving this bike.
The bike has that typical “XTR look” and it has a long list of modifications. Let me highlight some mods for you. First of all there is that upswept custom rear end built on a custom subframe. In the front we see a recognizable half fairing. The fork is from a Ducati S4RS with custom machined triple clamps and clip-ons. Stopping power is delivered by a PR19 master cylinder which control the massive radial Brembo monoblocs.
In terms of performance Pepo lists K&N open air filters, an anti-slippery clutch, a Domino quick throttle, an ultra light flywheel (Ergal), a Tamburini race oil cooler, a Mycrotech programmable ECU, engine ported heads, compressed pistons and a Supermario 2 in 1 exhaust System with a custom megaphone muffler.
To handle the bike it also got a new Öhlins rear shock and Ducati Performance steering damper. The gas tank is from a Ducati 749 and provided with an endurance quick filling gas cap. All brackets and mudguards etc. are custom work of XTR Pepo. Again a real XTR Pepo built with all the parts on the right places. A full list of mods is below the pictures.
