DEEP DOWN IN OUR HEARTS, WE HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN OUR DESIGN SKILLS. WE HAD OUR FIRST CHANCE IN 2012 WITH BIMOTA SRL, THANKS TO LUCIANO BROTTO, GM AT THAT TIME. BIMOTA SAW IN SAKARTDESIGN THE RIGHT AGENCY FOR THE REVIVAL OF THEIR IMAGE AND THE CREATION OF TWO NEW CONCEPTS. THE COLLABORATION WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO LAUNCH THE HIGH LEVEL SERVICE OF OUR DESIGN AND MODEL MAKING.

IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER BRANDS LIKE EBR AND PIAGGIO GROUP TO BUILD WITHIN OUR AGENCY A REAL SERVICES PACKAGE, FROM THE SKETCH UP TO PROTOTYPING. FROM THE FIRST SKETCHES TO THE FINAL CONCEPT MODELS, SAKARTDESIGN DESIGNERS AND CRAFTMEN MODELLERS WORK ALONGSIDE, SO THE CONCEPTS DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PROVIDED AT ITS BEST

IN 2012, WHEN BIMOTA SRL HAD TO CHALLENGE THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR NEW “SUPERBIKE CONCEPT BIKE” AND “SPORT TOURING CONCEPT BIKE” AND WERE LOOKING FOR TWO CONCEPT MODELS IN LINE WITH THEIR BRAND FOR EICMA MILAN SHOW 2012, THEY CHOSE SAKARTDESIGN FOR OUR POTENTIAL AND OUR COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT.

THE CLIENT NOW CHOOSES HIS FAVOURITE AND WE USE IT TO CREATE 3D SKETCHES IN OUR VIRTUAL STAGE. THE CHOSEN PROPOSAL IS VIRTUALLY REMODELLED AND MILLED IN POLYURETHANE, ON A 1:1 SCALE.THE MANUAL MODELLING, CRAFTED WITH THE PRE- CIOUS HELP OF OUR HIGHLY QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS – REAL SCULPTORS – IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STAGE FOR US, BRINGING IDEAS AND DRAWINGS TO THE REAL WORLD. HERE, MORE THAN IN OTHER STAGES OF THE PROCESS, THERE IS THE PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE BIKE THAT IS BEING CREATED. AT THE END OF THIS STAGE, AND AFTER THE FORMAL APPROVAL OF THE STYLE, WE THEN REVERSE ENGINEER THE MODEL IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CLIENTʼS R&D. THE FINAL MODEL LOOKS LIKE A REAL BIKE, BEING EVEN PAINTED IN CUSTOM CHOSEN COLOURS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE UTMOST REALISTIC RESULT.

DURING 2013 WE STARTED THE COLLABORATION WITH EBR, ERIK BUELL RACING FOR THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN STUDY OF THE STREETFIGHTER MODEL. SAKARTDESIGN DESIGNED AND PRESENTED TO EBR STATIC AND IN ACTION SKETCHES OF THE CONCEPT PROPOSAL. THE COLLABORATIONS WITH EBR WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO LAUNCH THE HIGH LEVEL SERVICE OF OUR DESIGN AND MODEL MAKING. IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHER BRANDS, AND TO BUILD WITHIN OUR AGENCY A REAL SERVICES PACKAGE, FROM THE SKETCH UP TO PROTOTYPING

OUR DESIGN PROPOSAL CONCEIVED FOR A NEW DUCATI “SUPERLEGGERA”, THE ONLY ONE MODEL THAT DUCATI STILL DIDNʼT HAVE IN THE 2009 MODEL YEAR. THE STYLE AND THE PROJECT WAS BORN TO PROPOSE OUR “POINT OF VIEW” OF A NEW “PURE MOTORCYCLE”, FUN, AGILE AND IN THE SAME TIME FAST, INSPIRED TO THE 70ʼS DUCATI TT2 600.

THE CHROMATIC SCHEME OF THE SHAPES AND THE CHASSIS CREATED THE STYLE OF THIS PROJECT BY SAKARTDESIGN. AN ARTICLE OF THIS CONCEPT WAS PUBLISHED IN MONDO DUCATI ITALIAN MAGAZINE ON FEBRUARY 2010 ISSUE.

THE NAME MEANING “POWER” OR “EMPOWERMENT,” IS THE PRIMORDIAL COSMIC ENERGY AND REPRESENTS THE DYNAMIC FORCES THAT ARE THOUGHT TO MOVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IN HINDUISM. SHAKTI IS THE CONCEPT, OR PERSONIFICATION, OF DIVINE FEMININE CREATIVE POWER, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS ʻTHE GREAT DIVINE MOTHERʼ IN HINDUISM. SURELY THIS DEFINITION IS PERFECT FOR THE DESIGN, STYLE AND SHAPES OF OUR SUPERBIKE CONCEPT CONCEIVED FOR BENELLI IN 2010.

THIS CONCEPT WAS BORN TO PROPOSE A “TOTALLY ITALIAN SUPERBIKE” THAT REDEFINED THE DESIGN OF A FUTURE POTENTIAL SPORT SUPERBIKE OF THE PESARO MANUFACTURER. AN ARTICLE OF THIS CONCEPT WAS PUBLISHED IN MOTO SPECIAL ITALIAN MAGAZINE ON SEPTEMBER 2010 ISSUE.

WE DISCOVERED THE NEW ELECTRIC TTXGP CHAMPIONSHIP DURING THE 2009 ISLE OF MAN TT, THAT GAVE US AN IDEA: CREATE AN ELECTRIC SUPERBIKE FOR THE ROAD AND THE RACING CHAMPIONSHIPS OF THE NEAR FUTURE. THE DESIGN LAYOUT DIRECTION EVOLVED FROM THE CONCEPT OF A FUN AND ZERO CARBON-EMISSIONS MOTORCYCLE AND IS INSPIRED BY SEA CREATURES. THE FRONT FAIRING STRONGLY CHARACTERIZES THE MOTORCYCLE DESIGN THE TWO SYMMETRIC LIGHTS/DIRECTION INDICATORS CREATE THE EYES OF THE CREATURE.

THE BLACK/WHITE BODYWORK CREATES AN AERODYNAMIC SCULPTURED SHAPE. THE BIG TUBULAR CHASSIS IS EMBEDDED IN THIS SHAPE LIKE A SKELETON, AND CREATES THE GRAPHIC COLOR CONCEPT OF THE SBIK_E. THE CARBON FIBER IS ALREADY USED IN A PORTION OF THE FALSE-TANK AND IN THE REAR ZONE. AN ARTICLE OF THIS CONCEPT WAS PUBLISHED IN ULTIMATE MOTORCYCLING US MAGAZINE ON JUNE/JULY 2010 ISSUE.
