An Unfinished Masterpiece

Acclaimed Spanish builder XTR Pepo has always been known for turning motorcycles into works of art. His latest project, XTR Pepo Quantum Ducati Monster 900, is no exception. Built around a 1993 Ducati Monster 900, the bike was commissioned in 2021, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it remains unfinished. Despite its incomplete state, the Quantum showcases Pepo’s unmistakable craftsmanship and innovative approach to custom builds.

At its core, the XTR Pepo Quantum Ducati Monster 900 features a heavily modified frame with a custom subframe designed by XTR. The attention to detail continues with a carbon fiber fuel tank, endurance-inspired gas caps, and a solo carbon fiber seat complete with an integrated battery box. Every element feels purpose-built, reflecting a singular vision for performance and style.

The Quantum doesn’t just rely on bold aesthetics—it’s equipped with an impressive lineup of performance upgrades. From Öhlins forks borrowed from a Ducati 1098 to OZ Piega forged aluminum wheels, the bike is clearly made to handle as well as it looks. Brembo braking components, Discacciati floating rotors, and Continental tires further underline its track-ready design.

Engine modifications reveal the same obsessive attention to performance. The Monster’s powerplant has been fully rebuilt, with ported heads, high-compression internals, Keihin FCR carburetors, and a custom 2-in-1 Wolfman exhaust system. Together, these upgrades hint at the untapped potential of a build that’s as functional as it is visually striking.
