| Type 7X
Designed as the pinnacle of the Type 7 series, the 'X' redefines the adventure bike with the distinctive characteristics typical of high-profile, one-off Auto Fabrica creations.
Embracing a truly unique off-road style, the project prioritizes functionality while seamlessly integrating form to accentuate and enhance its purpose. The standout feature is the high, up-swept trials bike-style exhaust—a signature Auto Fabrica sand-bent design that allows the bike to navigate deep water. To manage heat near the rider's leg, three cooling elements were ingeniously integrated: a perforated guard prevents direct contact with the pipe, an organically shaped heat shield adds secondary protection, and a specially developed ceramic coating channels heat to the exhaust outlet rather than radiating through the material. Additionally, a cool air channel through the right side of the tank not only provides fresh air near the rider's leg but also keeps the fuel away from heat zones. This asymmetric approach not only enhances functionality but also allows for creative freedom in shaping the handmade tank and components beyond conventional design constraints.
Every aspect of the 'X' reflects meticulous refinement and attention to detail, setting a new benchmark that has already sparked inspiration for future commissions and builds.
